PDC EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP

The European Championship was the first major event held in Germany in 2008 and set the standard for the future. Since 2022, it has been held at the legendary Westfalenhalle in Dortmund.

At the European Championship, the top 32 players on the European Tour Order of Merit compete in front of more than 30,000 spectators for a total of 500,000 pounds in prize money.

“Vive les fléchettes!” – European Tour 2027: PDC Europe is becoming more and more European
Darts fans in Germany and across Europe can look forward to another year in 2027 filled with top-tier events, big names, and an electrifying atmosphere. With the new tour schedule, PDC Europe is consistently continuing on its path toward internationalization: For the first time in the history of the PDC European Tour, the tour will make stops in ten different countries and a total of 15 cities.

Liévin and Ghent Added to the Tour Schedule
With Ghent in Belgium and Liévin in France, two new venues will be added in 2027. This marks the first time France will host a PDC event.

The new venues exemplify the evolution of the European Tour, which has developed in recent years into the most important tournament series on the international darts calendar. More and more fans are getting the chance to experience the sport’s biggest stars right on their doorstep.

“The European Tour has grown steadily in recent years—in terms of competition, attendance, and geographic reach. The fact that we’ll be touring ten countries and 15 cities for the first time in 2027 is an important milestone for PDC Europe,” says Werner von Moltke, President of PDC Europe. “With Ghent and Liévin, we’re welcoming two new locations to the European Tour and look forward to writing some new chapters in darts history there together with the fans.”

Ten countries, 15 cities, one tour schedule
The tour kicks off in Kiel, a traditional stop, before heading to Krakow for the second time and then on to Riesa. Before the traditional Easter weekend in Munich, the tour makes its historic French debut in Liévin. Next on the schedule are two established stops: Göttingen and Sindelfingen, before the European Tour makes its first appearance at the large Stadthalle in Graz. The tour continues via Prague to Leverkusen—where the 10th European Tour event of the year will take place under a new but familiar name: the German Darts Open.

The tour then returns to Bratislava for the second time before heading to Ghent, Belgium, for the next premiere. The tour concludes with stops in Basel, Budapest, and Maastricht.

In 2027, the European Tour will once again connect Europe’s most important darts markets, creating a unique blend of top-level sports, entertainment, and fan experiences. From established iconic venues to the two new locations in
Belgium and France, the tour spans a total of ten countries.
“The PDC European Tour is the greatest tour in professional sports,” says Dan Dawson, the PDC’s iconic commentator.

Next year, the tournament series will once again provide the stars of the scene with a big stage and give young players the opportunity to compete against the world’s elite. Time and again, this leads to special moments: favorites face off against ambitious challengers, new faces deliver surprises, and the world’s best players battle for titles and prize money—all in an unparalleled atmosphere.

Tickets and further information about the individual events will be announced starting around late October.
