The Flanders Darts Trophy 2026 is set to take place from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 September at the Antwerp Expo in Antwerp, Belgium. As the thirteenth of fifteen PDC European Tour events on the 2026 PDC ProTour, the tournament will feature 48 players competing for a total prize fund of £230,000.
The winner will take home £35,000, with the runner-up earning £15,000. Semi-finalists receive £10,000, quarter-finalists £8,000, and players exiting in the third round get £5,000. Second-round losers earn £3,500, while first-round participants receive £2,000.
Luke Littler is the defending champion after defeating Josh Rock 8-7 in the 2025 final, but he will not play this year. Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen, and Jonny Clayton currently lead the way, though the field is subject to late withdrawals, with at least three expected up until the middle of the week.
Prize money from the event counts towards the PDC Order of Merit, ProTour Order of Merit, and notably the European Tour Order of Merit, which determines seeding for the European Championship in Dortmund later this season. A player's position on that ranking also influences their draw for the season finale, with higher-ranked players receiving more favourable draws. However, there is a risk that big names could miss out if they skip events or underperform on the European Tour.
It is worth noting that seeded players who lose their opening game will not have that prize money count towards the Order of Merit, whereas qualifiers who move into seeded positions due to withdrawals will still receive ranking money.
