2026 UK OPEN FULL DRAW RELEASED

BEAU GREAVES launches her Ladbrokes UK Open challenge on Friday afternoon when she faces Darryl Pilgrim in round two.

Women’s world No.1 Greaves enjoyed an impressive debut at Butlin’s Minehead last year, reaching the fourth round before eventually bowing out to Luke Humphries. 

‘Beau ‘n’ Arrow’ has made a spectacular start to the campaign and smashed in a nine-darter at the Players Championship Six last week. 

Charlie Manby will play Swiss number one Stefan Bellmont in an eye-catching opening round tie on the Main Stage. 

The 20-year-old bricklayer made the fourth round of the World Championship and has reached the last 32 of a ProTour event this season. 

WDF World Champion Jimmy van Schie takes to the main stage in round two to face Tom Bissell, while Ryan Meikle goes head-to-head with William O’Connor in a compelling round three clash. 

Peter Wright locks horns with Darius Labanauskas in round three on Friday afternoon.

The two-time world champion, who most recently tasted major success at the 2023 European Championship, is eager to capture his peak form and put an end to his recent drop in the rankings. 

The legendary Raymond van Barneveld begins his quest for glory against Czechia’s number one, Karel Sedlacek in round three. 

2024 semi-finalist Ricky Evans has been pitted against former World Grand Prix runner-up Brendan Dolan. 

The 160-player field will see Tour Card Holders enter across the first four rounds, based on their PDC ranking position. 

The first three rounds will take place in a thrilling session starting at 11:00 GMT on Friday, March 6, with the world’s top 32 players joining the competition in round four later that evening. 

Round One will feature Tour Card holders ranked 97–128, alongside eight PDC in the Community Qualifiers, eight Rileys Amateur Qualifiers, and 16 players from the 2025 Challenge Tour and Development Tour. 

Tour Card Holders ranked 65-96 will enter in round two and players ranked from 33-64 will then join the tournament in round three. 

The top 32 players on the PDC Werner Rankings Ladder will launch their title bids in Friday evening’s fourth round, including reigning champion Luke Littler and world No.2 Humphries 

They will be joined at that stage by former champions Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson, Danny Noppert, James Wade, Nathan Aspinall, Dimitri Van den Bergh and Andrew Gilding.

Once round three concludes on Friday afternoon, the round four draw will be conducted live on the Main Stage, with additional open draws taking place after each subsequent round. 

Main Stage matches across all three days will be broadcast live on ITV4 for UK viewers. 

Players will battle it out in Minehead across the weekend for the coveted title and a £120,000 top prize, with a total prize fund of £750,000 on offer and payouts extending to the last 128 competitors.
