The 2026 IDF Grand Slam of Darts is a professional darts tournament organised by the International Darts Federation (IDF), taking place from 14 to 22 November 2026 at the Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton, England.
The tournament features 32 players divided into eight groups of four, with the top two players from each group progressing to the knockout stage.
Logan White is the defending champion, having defeated Alex Brow 16–13 in the 2025 final.
Brow and Hunter Jackson became the first players to mathematically secure places in the knockout stage during the fifth session, qualifying from Group A with two wins each. White and Nathan Owens also secured progression from Group B. Duncan MacLeod moved to two wins from two in Group C, while Ryan Thomas maintained his unbeaten start by defeating Niklas Hofer in Group D.
Background
Format
The tournament begins with eight groups of four players.
Each player plays every other player in their group once. The top two players from each group advance to the second round, while the bottom two are eliminated.
Group positions are determined by:
- Number of match wins

- Head-to-head result

- Group stage: best of 9 legs
- Second round: best of 19 legs
- Quarter-finals: best of 31 legs
- Semi-finals: best of 31 legs
- Final: best of 31 legs
The group stage is therefore first to five legs, the second round first to 10, and all matches from the quarter-finals onwards first to 16.
The second-round pairings are:
- Winner Group A v Runner-up Group B

- Winner Group C v Runner-up Group D
