The Fantasy UK Open is set to kick off this weekend, offering darts fans a chance to compete for a guaranteed prize pool of $350 / €300 / £260. The game coincides with the UK Open darts tournament, which begins on Friday, 6 March 2026 at the Butlin's Minehead Resort, featuring 160 players in an unpredictable format often called the "FA Cup of Darts." With an open draw after every round, surprises are guaranteed, making it an ideal backdrop for fantasy competition.
Players can sign up and build a team of 13 darts players with a budget of €165 million, aiming to score points based on performances from Round 4 (Last 64) onwards. Points are awarded for winning matches, total legs won, leg difference, 100+ scores, 140+ scores, 180s, checkout percentage, and tournament averages. No points are awarded during the first three rounds, and the player list will be updated before Round 4 begins, with eliminated players removed from selection. The final matches of Round 3 are expected to finish around 18:00 CET on Friday, 6 March.
Entry costs $8.15 / €7.00 / £6.09 per team, with the winner receiving $78 / €67.20 / £58 from a total of 10 GC prizes. The Fantasy UK Open starts on Friday, 6 March 2026 at 20:10.
