SUMMARY:Grand Slam of Darts
DESCRIPTION:Grand Slam of Darts\nThe Grand Slam of Darts runs from 14 to 22 November 2026 at the Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton\, England. Organised by the Professional Darts Corporation\, the Grand Slam is unique among major darts events in bringing together players from both the PDC and the British Darts Organisation traditions\, creating a diverse and highly competitive field across nine days of action. \nWhat Is the Grand Slam of Darts?\nThe Grand Slam of Darts is one of the PDC’s major televised ranking events. It features 32 players divided into eight groups of four\, with each player competing in three round-robin matches before the top two from each group advance to a knockout phase. The format progresses from best-of-nine legs in the group stage to a best-of-31 legs final\, creating a gruelling test of consistency and stamina. The tournament’s group-stage format sets it apart from the straight knockout structure used in most other PDC events. \nWhen and Where\nThe tournament takes place from Saturday 14 November to Sunday 22 November 2026 at the Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton. The venue has hosted the Grand Slam since its inception in 2007\, creating a strong identity and tradition for the event. Sessions are typically scheduled in the afternoon and evening\, with the final held on the Sunday evening. Wolverhampton is well connected by rail and road\, with the venue located a short drive from the city centre. \nKey Contenders\nLuke Humphries\, the reigning PDC World Champion at the time of his 2024 victory\, Michael van Gerwen\, Luke Littler\, and Gerwyn Price are among the leading names expected to feature. The Grand Slam’s round-robin format can produce surprises\, as lesser-known qualifiers have the opportunity to test themselves against the world’s best over multiple matches. Past champions include Phil Taylor\, who won the event six times\, Michael van Gerwen\, and Gerwyn Price. The breadth of the field\, including BDO-tradition qualifiers and tour card holders\, adds unpredictability to the group stages. \nHow to Watch\nITV4 broadcasts the Grand Slam of Darts live and free-to-air in the United Kingdom\, with coverage also available on the ITVX streaming platform. This makes it one of the most accessible major darts events for UK viewers. DAZN provides coverage in numerous international markets. PDC TV offers a subscription service for territories not covered by other broadcasters. \nHistory\nThe Grand Slam of Darts was first held in 2007\, created by the PDC as an event that would bring together players from both major darts organisations. Phil Taylor dominated the early editions\, winning five of the first six tournaments. The event has produced some iconic moments\, including Raymond van Barneveld’s 2012 triumph and Michael van Gerwen’s three titles. The Aldersley Leisure Village’s intimate atmosphere\, combined with Wolverhampton’s enthusiastic darts crowds\, has made the Grand Slam one of the most popular events on the PDC calendar. \nTickets\nTickets are available through the PDC’s official website and authorised ticketing partners. Group-stage sessions offer some of the best value\, with multiple matches per session. Knockout-round tickets and the final tend to sell quickly due to limited capacity at the Aldersley Leisure Village. Hospitality packages are available for those seeking a premium experience with table seating\, food\, and drink included. \nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat format does the Grand Slam of Darts use?\nThe tournament begins with a round-robin group stage featuring eight groups of four players\, followed by a knockout phase from the last 16 through to the final. \nIs the Grand Slam of Darts on free-to-air television?\nYes\, ITV4 broadcasts the event live and free-to-air in the United Kingdom\, with coverage also available on ITVX. \nWhere is the Grand Slam of Darts held?\nThe event takes place at the Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton\, England\, where it has been held every year since 2007. \nHow do players qualify for the Grand Slam?\nQualification is based on a combination of PDC rankings\, results in major tournaments\, and invitations extended to players from outside the PDC circuit.
