Nordic Darts Masters

Stephen Bunting will open his defence of the Mr Vegas Nordic Darts Masters against Vitkor Tingstrom, while World Champion Luke Littler will face Cor Dekker as the World Series of Darts returns in Copenhagen this weekend.

The global circuit resumes following events in Bahrain and Riyadh earlier in the year, as 16 players go head-to-head in the Danish capital on June 5-6.

Friday’s opening round will see eight PDC superstars pitted against eight Nordic & Baltic representatives for a place at Finals Day, as reigning champion Bunting aims to defend his title.

The former Masters winner will take on Swedish star Tingstrom in round one, who is making his second appearance at the Nordic Darts Masters.

Littler will take on Norway’s premier player Dekker as he hopes to claim his second World Series title of the year following his success at the 2026 Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters in January.

Welsh number one Jonny Clayton will renew his rivalry with World Championship star Andreas Harrysson, in a rematch of their last 16 clash at Alexandra Palace in December last year.

Number one seed Michael van Gerwen will lock horns with two time World Cup of Darts quarter-finalist Oskar Lukasiak, while 2024 champion Gerwyn Price will take on former World Championship quarter-finalist Darius Labanauskas.

James Wade returns to the World Series fold in Copenhagen against Madars Razma - Latvia’s number one and the highest-ranked player among the Nordic & Baltic representatives.

World number two Luke Humphries is pitted against Jeffrey de Graaf in their round one tussle, the winner of which will play European Champion Gian van Veen or Daniel Larsson.

Marco Trucco, Marketing Director of Mr Vegas shared: “We’re delighted to continue our sponsorship of the Mr Vegas Nordic Darts Masters, and we are very excited for this weekend’s tournament.

“With our resident ‘Elvis’ singing ‘Viva Mr Vegas’ once again and our ‘Bullseye Challenge’ offering the chance for darts fans to win top prizes, the entertainment throughout the two days will make the atmosphere electric.”

Following Friday's first round, the World Series of Darts event will conclude on Saturday evening, as the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final take place during a blockbuster evening session in Copenhagen.

The 2026 Nordic Darts Masters will be broadcast live on Zona Sport TV in Croatia and PDCTV in all territories other than Germany, Austria & Switzerland (coverage via DAZN), Poland (coverage via CANAL+) and on ITV4 and ITVX for UK viewers.
