2026 PDC Nordic Darts Masters Draw and Schedule

The World Series of Darts returns to Copenhagen this weekend as the 2026 Mr Vegas Nordic Darts Masters gets underway, with reigning champion Stephen Bunting beginning his title defence against Swedish star Viktor Tingstrom and World Champion Luke Littler set to face Norway’s Cor Dekker.

After visits to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia earlier this year, the global circuit heads to the Danish capital for the third World Series event of the season, where eight PDC stars will battle eight Nordic and Baltic representatives for the prestigious title across June 5-6.

Friday’s opening session will feature a series of intriguing first-round encounters, with the winners progressing to Saturday’s Finals Day, when the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will determine the 2026 champion.

Bunting arrives in Copenhagen looking to replicate the success he enjoyed 12 months ago, when he lifted the Nordic Darts Masters trophy for the first time. The former Masters champion has enjoyed another strong campaign in 2026 and will begin his challenge against Sweden’s Viktor Tingstrom.

Tingstrom returns for his second appearance in the tournament and will be eager to cause an upset against one of the most experienced players in the field.

Meanwhile, Luke Littler continues his quest for more World Series silverware after making a sensational start to the year. The reigning World Champion already claimed victory at the 2026 Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters and now targets a second World Series title of the season.

The teenage sensation opens his campaign against Norway’s leading player Cor Dekker, who will be hoping to spring one of the biggest surprises of the opening round.

Top seed Michael van Gerwen also begins his challenge in Copenhagen fresh from a resurgence in form over recent weeks. The Dutch superstar secured his first ranking title in more than a year at Players Championship 15 and will be looking to carry that momentum onto the World Series stage.

Van Gerwen’s first opponent will be Polish-born Danish representative Oskar Lukasiak, a player who has twice reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup of Darts and possesses plenty of experience on the international stage.

Former Nordic Darts Masters champion Gerwyn Price also returns to the tournament hoping to reclaim the title he won in 2024.

The Welshman faces a difficult opening test against Lithuania’s Darius Labanauskas, a former World Championship quarter-finalist who remains one of the most accomplished players among the Nordic and Baltic contingent.

Another standout tie sees Jonny Clayton renew acquaintances with Sweden’s Andreas Harrysson.

The pair famously met in the last 16 of the World Championship at Alexandra Palace last December, with Clayton emerging victorious on that occasion. Harrysson will now be hoping to gain revenge against the 2021 Premier League champion on home-region soil.

World number two Luke Humphries also faces a stern challenge in his opening match. The reigning Premier League champion takes on Sweden-based Jeffrey de Graaf, who continues to establish himself as one of the strongest players in the Nordic region.

Should Humphries advance, he will face either reigning European Champion Gian van Veen or Sweden’s Daniel Larsson in the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, James Wade returns to the World Series stage and will begin his campaign against Latvia’s number one Madars Razma. Razma enters the tournament as the highest-ranked player among the Nordic and Baltic representatives and will be confident of testing the veteran Englishman.

Ahead of the event, Mr Vegas Marketing Director Marco Trucco expressed his excitement about the tournament’s return.

“We’re delighted to continue our sponsorship of the Mr Vegas Nordic Darts Masters, and we are very excited for this weekend’s tournament.

“With our resident ‘Elvis’ singing ‘Viva Mr Vegas’ once again and our ‘Bullseye Challenge’ offering the chance for darts fans to win top prizes, the entertainment throughout the two days will make the atmosphere electric.”

With world champions, major winners and rising stars all in action, the stage is set for another memorable Nordic Darts Masters. Friday’s opening round will determine the final eight players before the tournament reaches its climax on Saturday evening, when the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will crown the latest World Series champion in Copenhagen.
