What time does Players Championship 33 and 34 begin? How to watch latest ProTour in UK, US and Australia

The PDC Pro Tour sees the Players Championship tournaments take place with 34 events in all in 2026, concluding on November 4 and 5 with Players Championship 33 and 34 in Leicester.

The Players Championship takes place this season at Halle 39 in Hildesheim, Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan, Leicester Arena in the same city, Arena MK in Milton Keynes, as well as a first visit to Den Bosch at Maaspoort. This sees ProTour darts return to Holland for the first time in a long while, but mostly Leicester populates the vast majority of these tournaments.

It will feature a mix of big names throughout the year, but as ever, this will be subject to change, with the Premier League players in particular likely to pick and choose. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, for instance, have either said they will in part skip ones or only play in Wigan. Other top names have also previously snubbed playing in Germany due to the travel. So who will play in them is always a mixed bag, but expect Littler, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen, and Gerwyn Price at junctures throughout the year.

The main goal is to qualify for the Players Championship Finals in Minehead that take place towards the back end of 2026 before the PDC World Darts Championship. Littler and Co. had issues qualifying last year, so it always gives an additional dynamic with the race to the finish.

Live stream available via PDCTV

All matches on the four main boards can be watched live via PDCTV, the PDC's official streaming channel. Fans can choose from several subscription options: a monthly pass (£9.99), an annual subscription (£59.99) or a flexible multi-day short-use pass.

This gives fans a unique opportunity to also experience the Players Championship tournaments up close—the floor tournaments where new stars emerge and established names sometimes lose out surprisingly early.
