WDF World Masters is coming to Vegas!
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.
