The 2026 PDC ProTour season is approaching its conclusion, and darts fans have just two more Players Championship tournaments to enjoy before the attention turns towards the Players Championship Finals in Minehead.
Players Championship 33 and 34 will take place in Leicester on November 4 and 5, respectively, giving the professionals one final opportunity to collect prize money, improve their positions in the rankings and secure qualification for one of the biggest events on the darts calendar.
However, there is plenty more at stake than simply winning another floor tournament. Several established names still have work to do in the race to reach Minehead, while the absence of some of the sport’s biggest stars could create opportunities for other players to make a statement.
So, what time do Players Championship 33 and 34 begin, and how can fans watch the action live in the UK, United States and Australia?
Here is everything you need to know.
When are Players Championship 33 and 34 taking place?
Players Championship 33 is scheduled for Wednesday, November 4, 2026, while Players Championship 34 will follow on Thursday, November 5.
Both tournaments will be staged at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester, England.
The opening matches on both days are scheduled to begin at 1pm GMT, with the tournaments expected to run throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
These are the final two Players Championship events of the 2026 season, making the double-header particularly important for players hoping to finish the campaign on a high.
Unlike televised ranking tournaments, Players Championship events are floor tournaments, where players compete in a more compact environment without the usual large television audience.
That does not make the competition any less important. In fact, the pressure can be even greater when players know that one poor performance could end their hopes of qualifying for Minehead.
