The darts world elite are gearing up to head to Frankfurt as the 2026 World Cup of Darts field is confirmed, in the wake of the conclusion of the Austrian Darts Open. One month away, 80 players from 40 nation states will battle for a record-breaking 500,000 prize fund in the classic pairs format, with fans in particular excited about the top-seeded pair for England, Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, who will be aiming for the trophy after a shock early exit last year. With the return of Michael van Gerwen for the Netherlands, and the unwelcome withdrawal of Gerwyn Price for Wales, it’s going to be an unpredictable, high-octane tournament at the Eissporthalle.
