2026 Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters draw
Michael van Gerwen will face India’s Nitin Kumar in the Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters on Monday, looking to win back-to-back World Series of Darts titles.
The Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters will debut on January 19-20 at the Global Theatre, marking the first time that darts will be played in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Van Gerwen won the Bahrain Darts Masters last week to kick off the 2026 World Series season, and the Dutch superstar will now look to repeat his success in the Middle East.
The three-time World Champion will begin his challenge against Indian pioneer Kumar, as eight PDC superstars face eight Asian Tour representatives in Monday’s first round.
World Champion Luke Littler will face Singapore’s darting legend Paul Lim for the second World Series event in a row, while world number two Luke Humphries faces Japan’s Ryusei Azemoto for a spot in the quarter-finals.
Gian van Veen, the runner-up in the Bahrain Darts Masters, will face Japanese standout Motomu Sakai, while former World Champion Gerwyn Price will face PDC Asian Tour winner Alexis Toylo.
Nathan Aspinall and Lourence Ilagan reprise their rivalry in a rematch from Bahrain, while Stephen Bunting faces Tomoya Goto, a two-time World Championship qualifier.
Meanwhile, Dutch number three Danny Noppert will face Hong Kong’s World Cup quarter-finalist Man Lok Leung, with Aspinall or Ilagan waiting for the winner in the quarter-finals.
Following the end of round one, the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will be played on Tuesday evening, as the remaining eight players compete for silverware in Saudi Arabia.
There will also be a $100,000 prize for any player who lands a nine-darter during the event, which may be quadrupled with the addition of the Riyadh Season Bullseye.
If a nine-darter is hit during the tournament, the player will be granted one more shot at the bullseye to double their prize to $200,000, making it the largest prize payout for a nine-darter in PDC history.
