Players Championships 21 and 22 are fast approaching and the PDC has confirmed the entrants for the ProTour double-header on June 16-17, 2026 at the Robin Park Leisure Centre in Wigan. Each day will feature a 128-player field, with £15,000 going to the winner, making this an important point in the 2026 ProTour season.
Key facts
- Dates: Tuesday June 16 and Wednesday June 17, 2026.
- Venue: Robin Park Leisure Centre, Wigan.
- Field: 128 players per event, combining Tour Card holders and PDPA Associate Members.
- Winner’s prize: £15,000 per event.
- Start time: 13:00 BST each day.
- Coverage: four streamed boards on PDCTV and selected bookmaker platforms.
Names to watch in Wigan
The confirmed line-up includes several major names, led by Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen and Michael van Gerwen. In this floor-event format, their ability to deliver over multiple matches in the same day remains a key storyline.
Wessel Nijman is another player to watch closely. The Dutchman has already won five Players Championship titles in 2026, making him one of the form players on the ProTour. If that run continues in Wigan, his standing in this season’s floor events will only strengthen.
Why this double-header matters
On the ProTour, two back-to-back days can quickly shift the picture. A strong run in Wigan brings ranking money, confidence and momentum before the next major stages of the season. Two early exits, on the other hand, can leave players under pressure in a season where every week matters.
The confirmed entrants therefore offer a clear first reading of what to expect: a deep field, several headline names and another major test for the most in-form players on the circuit.
