Rather than being a standard single-player darts tournament, the World Cup of Darts, which is organised by the Professional Darts Corporation, or PDC, is a team darts competition. The World Cup of Darts was launched in 2010, and has taken place in different months over the years. However, since 2022, the tournament has taken place in the month of June.
As well as the World Cup of Darts being competed in June, the competition also continues to be based in Frankfurt, Germany, and this will be the location for the upcoming event in 2026. As you will expect, the tournament’s format has changed over the years. Currently, forty nations are included in the competition, with twelve groups of three countries battling it out in the group stage while the highest-ranked nations get a bye into the next stage. Doubles being a part of the tournament throughout is also here to stay.
The 2026 BetVictor World Cup of Darts returns for it's 16th edition this summer. The PDC tournament - which is considered one of the most reputable on the calendar - will be contested between June 11-14 at the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt, Germany.
