World Series of Darts Finals
The end of the World Series, the run of two-day events held everywhere from Bahrain to Auckland across the year.
The most recent World Series of Darts Finals, 17 to 20 September 2026, was won by Ross Smith.
17 to 20 September 2026
The next edition is not on the calendar we hold yet. It will appear on the schedule once the PDC confirms the dates.
The World Series takes darts on tour. Each stop puts a handful of the sport’s biggest names against local qualifiers over two nights, which is how the game has grown in the Gulf, the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
Performance across those events builds a World Series ranking, and that ranking is what decides who plays in the Finals in Amsterdam.
