How does the PDC World Series of Darts 2026 ranking work?
The PDC World Series of Darts 2026 ranking tracks points accumulated at World Series of Darts events, an international circuit that takes the PDC's top names around the globe: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the United States, Canada, and beyond. These tournaments sit outside the regular European schedule and include local players who qualify through national events in each host country.
Unlike the main Order of Merit which is purely prize-money based, this ranking uses a points system specific to World Series events. A player's cumulative total at the end of the season determines qualification for the World Series of Darts Finals: only the top 8 in the standings earn a place in this elite international showpiece. The ranking is updated after each World Series tournament completed throughout the season.
- Period: 2026 season (international World Series events)
- Calculation basis: Cumulative points from World Series events
- Update frequency: After each World Series event
- Role: Qualification for the World Series of Darts Finals (top 8)
