PDC Darts Unveils 2027 Schedule With Expanded European Championship

The 2027 PDC darts schedule is confirmed, and the season begins in January and February with Q-School, the World Masters, Premier League, European Tour and Players Championship events all packed into the opening weeks. The PDC has released the full calendar, giving players and supporters an early look at how the year unfolds.

Q-School kicks off proceedings in January, followed swiftly by the World Masters and the first Players Championship events of the year. The Premier League and European Tour then join the calendar before February is out, setting up a packed start to 2027.

PDC Confirms 2027 Season Dates and Tour Expansion

The PDC has moved early to lock in next year’s schedule, giving tour card holders and supporters plenty of notice. The early season stretch, running from Q-School through to the first European Tour and Players Championship legs, keeps the same shape fans have come to expect, just with a few new additions layered on top.

That early clarity matters for a sport where players juggle ranking points across several series at once. With the 2027 PDC darts schedule now public, the tour’s calendar planners have set the tone for a year built around growth in Europe.

Official Details: Debut Venues and Expanded European Major

Lievin in France will host a European Tour event for the first time, with matches running from March 19 to 21, 2027. It marks a new stop on a tour that keeps growing across the continent.

Salzburg in Austria gets its own slice of history too. The Austrian city stages the inaugural European Open from June 18 to 20, 2027, adding another major date to a schedule already rich with fresh venues. Full detail on the additions is set out in the Sporting News PDC schedule report.

The European Championship is expanding as well. The PDC has confirmed the tournament grows into a six-day event for 2027, giving it more room on the calendar and more matches for supporters to follow. It’s the clearest sign yet of how far the European side of the sport has grown in a short space of time.

Impact on Professional Tour and Tour Card Holders

For tour card holders, the new dates mean an even busier year on the road. Two new stops, in Lievin and Salzburg, add fresh nights to a calendar that already runs from January through to the World Championship. Players chasing ranking points from the European Tour and the Players Championship series get extra chances to climb the money list.

The Premier League remains the centrepiece of the mid season, and its Finals Night returns to The O2 in London on May 27, 2027. Fans wanting a reminder of how the league has taken shape in recent years can check our confirmed Premier League dates or browse the list of Premier League champions before the new season starts.

Talk of reform around the league’s format and calendar has followed the PDC for some time, and our look at the proposed calendar and format reforms covers where that conversation stands. The 2027 PDC darts schedule itself makes no changes to the Premier League’s usual format, but the wider tour keeps growing around it.

Upcoming PDC Calendar Timeline for 2027

Supporters planning their year can pencil in the key dates the PDC has already confirmed.

• January and February: Q-School, the World Masters, Premier League and European Tour action all begin
• March 19 to 21: European Tour debuts in Lievin, France
• May 27: Premier League Finals Night at The O2, London
• June 18 to 20: inaugural European Open in Salzburg, Austria
• European Championship: confirmed to expand to a six day event

One gap remains. The PDC has not yet released dates for the 2027 World Series of Darts, so fans hoping to plan a trip to that leg of the tour will need to wait for further confirmation.
