The 2026 IDF Grand Slam of Darts was a professional darts tournament organised by the International Darts Federation (IDF), held from 14 to 22 November 2026 at the Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton, England.

Alex Brow won the tournament, defeating Jeroen van Dijk 16–13 in the final. It was Brow's first Grand Slam title, having finished runner-up to Logan White in 2025.

White entered as the defending champion but was eliminated by Brow 16–14 in the quarter-finals. Brow subsequently defeated Max Mad 16–12 in the semi-finals before overcoming Van Dijk in the final.

Brow completed the tournament undefeated, winning all three of his group matches before victories over Nathan Owens, White, Mad and Van Dijk in the knockout stage.

Group positions were determined by:

  1. Number of match wins
  2. Leg difference
  3. Legs won
  4. Head-to-head result
  5. Tournament average, if required

All group-stage matches were played over the best of nine legs.

  • Second round: best of 19 legs
  • Quarter-finals: best of 31 legs
  • Semi-finals: best of 31 legs
  • Final: best of 31 legs
