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 featured 32 players, initially divided into eight groups of four, with the top two players from each group progressing to the knockout stage.

Logan White entered as the defending champion, having defeated Alex Brow 16–13 in the 2025 final. White's title defence ended in the quarter-finals, where Brow defeated him 16–14.

The semi-final line-up was completed on 21 November. Elias Storm defeated Quinn Sanders 16–13 to reach his first major semi-final since returning from a broken wrist, while Jeroen van Dijk continued his unbeaten tournament with a 16–12 victory over Wyatt Walker.

Brow will face Max Mad in the first semi-final, with Storm meeting Van Dijk in the second.

Background

Format

The tournament began with eight groups of four players.

Each player played every other player in their group once. The top two players from each group advanced to the second round, while the bottom two were eliminated.

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.

The knockout stage is played as follows:

• 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 second round was therefore first to 10 legs, while all matches from the quarter-finals onwards are first to 16.
