The European Darts Trophy 2026 is set to take place from 13-15 March 2026 at the Lokhalle in Gottingen, Germany, marking the second tournament of the year on the European Tour and the first in Germany this season. Among the players involved are Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, and Gerwyn Price, though this is subject to any late withdrawals. Notably, Luke Littler has boycotted European Tour tournaments in Germany, citing crowd reception issues from 2025, and his absence provides an opportunity for others to compete for the title. Nathan Aspinall was the 2025 champion.
For viewers worldwide, the tournament can be watched via PDCTV, except in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries using Viaplay and DAZN as their main platforms. DAZN also broadcasts in Austria and Switzerland, including through the DAZN Darts Channel on Pluto TV. In the UK, USA, and Australia, fans can access coverage through PDCTV with an Annual Pass costing £49.99 per year, which includes priority sales for PDC tournaments and access to Players Championship and Women's Series events. Major tournaments are not shown on PDCTV unless in territories without a TV deal, where the PDC feed (such as from Sky or ITV) is used.
The schedule for the European Darts Trophy 2026 features sessions starting daily at 12pm and 6pm UK time. On Friday, 13 March, the First Round runs from 12:00-16:00 and 18:00-22:00. Saturday, 14 March, includes the Second Round from 12:00-16:00 and 18:00-22:00.
