The World Series of Darts is back for 2026, and we start, as we did last year, in Bahrain. We enter this tournament with a the back-to-back World Darts Championship winner in Luke Littler.
Stephen Bunting returns as the defending champion after producing a commanding 8–4 victory over Gerwyn Price in the 2025 final, and he’ll be looking to begin his title defence in style as the World Series gets underway.
Equally, the other participants will be eager to upset the world champion and make their mark early in 2026 by claiming the first piece of silverware in the World Series of Darts.
