• Tournament winner in 2026 will receive £1m cheque
• Increased field of 128 players compete for £5m in total

The Professional Darts Corporation will award the 2026 world champion a record £1m prize – double the amount Luke Littler received in January for claiming the 2025 title.

The biggest prize-money increase in the history of the PDC has been confirmed, with an expanded 128-player field at the 2026 World Darts Championship competing for a £5m prize fund at Alexandra Palace in London.
