The year 2026 is the 35th year in the history of the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), a darts organisation based in the United Kingdom.
On 31 March 2025, the PDC announced a mass increase in prize money for tournaments, starting from the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship, where the champion receives a doubled top prize of £1,000,000 from a total prize fund of £5,000,000. The total amount of prize money on offer in PDC events in 2026 went up £7,000,000 from the 2025 season, along with increases for the PDC's secondary tours and Global Affiliate Tours, with only the World Series events and the World Masters not receiving increases in prize money. The field for the World Championship also expanded from 96 to 128 players, while the Grand Slam of Darts will expand from 32 to 48 players.

On each day of the Final Stage of Q-School, a Tour Card is awarded to both finalists, rather than just to the day's tournament winner as in previous years. As before, remaining Tour Card places are awarded through the Q-School Order of Merit. As before, players who qualify on the first three days of the Final Stage do not need to play the remaining days. However, each day of the Final Stage will be topped up to 128 players with the best available players who failed to qualify from the First Stage, rather than byes being awarded.
Several events had tweaks to their qualification criteria. European Tour seeding changed so that reserve players no longer take a seeded player's position in the draw. It was originally announced that seeding in first round matches would be based on the full Order of Merit rather than the Pro Tour Order of Merit, but this rule change was reverted before the first event. Additionally, it was announced that players would be chosen for World Cup teams based on their Challenge Tour Ranking if a nation has no players ranked on the Order of Merit and no local Affiliate Tour. Tour Card holders ranked inside the top 64 who failed to qualify for the World Championship by the main or Pro Tour Orders of Merit have been re-permitted to enter regional qualifying tournaments, while World Youth Championship finalists will qualify for the newly-expanded Grand Slam of Darts in the same year, rather than in the next.
The 2026 Premier League Darts schedule was announced in September 2025 and included a night in Belgium for the first time, as Antwerp replaced Exeter in the lineup. The 2026 European Tour saw the introduction of two new events: the Poland Darts Open in Kraków and the Slovak Darts Open in Bratislava. The Poland Darts Open replaced the Poland Darts Masters, a World Series event that was on the PDC calendar since 2023, while the Slovak Darts Open marked the PDC's first visit to Slovakia.
As part of the 2026 World Series of Darts, it was announced that the PDC would hold its first event in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters, in January. The announcement followed interest shown by PDC president Barry Hearn and General Entertainment Authority chairman Turki Al-Sheikh to take darts to the country.
In December 2025, it was confirmed that the 2026 PDC World Championship would be the last edition of the tournament to be held in the West Hall of Alexandra Palace. The event will be held in the venue's Great Hall for the first time at the 2027 PDC World Championship.
In February 2025, Sky Sports announced a five-year extension of its partnership with the PDC, continuing coverage of the PDC World Darts Championship, Premier League Darts, World Matchplay, Grand Slam of Darts, World Grand Prix, and the World Cup of Darts on the broadcaster until 2030.
In October 2025, the PDC agreed to a new three-year deal with ITV Sport to broadcast events on ITV4 and ITVX until 2028; these events included the World Masters, UK Open, European Championship, Players Championship Finals, World Series Finals, and all global World Series events. The announcement also stated that the PDC would take control of its own event production, which was previously managed by ITV.
In June 2026, the PDC announced a deal with ESPN to broadcast five events on ESPN2 and ESPN+ in the United States. These events were the US Darts Masters, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts, and the 2027 World Championship.
In December 2025, the PDC announced a three-year funding cycle for PDC Global Affiliate Tours that involved an investment of over £3,000,000. There will be increased prize money for events on the Nordic and Baltic Pro Tour and the DartPlayers New Zealand Tour, while the China Pro Tour and Australian Darts Association Tour will have more events. Additionally, the African Continental Tour will expand to six events in each of the North and South regions, with an increase in the number of African qualifiers for the World Championship from one to two in 2027.
The following televised events are scheduled to take place in 2026.

The PDC Europe Next Gen is the PDC Global Affiliate Tour for players from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. The 2026 season consists of 16 events organised over eight weekends using five different event formats. In 2026, two new formats were introduced: 170, where each leg is played from 170 rather than 501; and Swiss, where the preliminary round will use a Swiss-style league phase. Orders of Merit are maintained for all players, players aged 16–24 and women, with top-ranked players qualifying for the PDC Europe Super League and/or winning free entry to Q-School, Development Tour and Women's Series events.
