Updated: March 15, 2026

The World Darts Federation has announced that the 2026 WDF World Masters will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, marking the first time in history that the event will take place in the United States.

Scheduled for July 14–19, 2026, the event will celebrate the 50th edition of the World Masters and will be hosted at the Rio Hotel & Casino as part of a new three-year agreement with the WDF.

The week will feature six days of international darts competition, including:

  • WDF World Masters
  • WDF World Open
  • 2026 WDF World Championship Qualifiers

Full tournament schedules and event details will be released by the WDF later this year.

A Major Opportunity for American Players

The arrival of the World Masters in Las Vegas represents a significant opportunity for North American players to compete in one of the most prestigious tournaments in the global darts calendar without traveling overseas.

The American Darts Organization expects strong participation from U.S. players and is excited to see a strong American contingent in the field.

Qualification Information

The qualification criteria for the 2026 WDF World Masters has already been updated and is available in the Rules section of the WDF website. The WDF has also published an initial list of players who have already secured qualification.

A list of ADO Invites and criteria can be found here. Here you will find a summary of our invites, which will come from Nationals, event winners, and ADO rankings. As part of these invites, 2 women and 4 players in the open division will receive their trip paid to Vegas as a result of our ADO Masters National taking place at the Virginia Beach Dart Classic late next week. Registration is open now.

Players and fans should watch for additional announcements as event registration, schedules, and further details become available.
