Major season in the world of darts begins with the World Series of Darts Finals in September and ends with the year's biggest event, the World Championship, in December.

All of the other events matter, but almost every player will have in the back of their mind that they want to qualify and have their form peak at Alexandra Palace this Winter.

The list of 128 players heading to London is starting to come together, so let's take a look at how the qualifying list stands at this point.

Who has qualified so far for the 2027 PDC World Championship?

The 128 players will consist of players qualifying through these three routes:

  • Top 40 from PDC Order of Merit
  • Top 40 from ProTour Order of Merit not otherwise qualified
  • 48x International Qualifiers

Top 40 from PDC Order of Merit

*List order TBD

Top 40 from ProTour Order of Merit not otherwise qualified

*List order TBD

48x International Qualifiers

*Please be aware that routes could change if the same player earns multiple routes, opening up opportunities for other players to qualify instead

*Last updated: 10/5/26
