Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, has welcomed darts’ biggest superstars to the Kingdom ahead of the 2026 Bahrain Darts Masters, which takes place Thursday and Friday (Editor’s note: 15 and 16 January) at Terminal 4 by Beyon in Exhibition World Bahrain (EWB).
Eight of the Professional Darts Corporation’s (PDC) most celebrated players, headlined by reigning back-to-back World Champion Luke Littler, have already arrived on the island for the two-day spectacle.
They are also all set for the Bahrain Darts Masters’ official draw and autograph session, taking place Wednesday (Editor’s note: 14 January) evening at Bahrain Rugby Club in Saar.
The fan-engagement evening, which is open to all ticket-holders, is scheduled for a 6.30pm start. It will determine the match-ups for the first round of play in the year’s opening event of the 2026 World Series of Darts.
Fans attending Wednesday night at Bahrain Rugby Club will have the chance to meet Littler and the rest of the Bahrain Darts Masters’ star-studded cast, including defending champion in the Kingdom Stephen Bunting, 2023/2024 World Champion Luke Humphries, the World Series of Darts’ most successful player in history Michael van Gerwen, 2020/2021 World Champion Gerwyn Price, former World Matchplay champion Nathan Aspinall, World Championship runner-up Gian van Veen, and Dutch star Danny Noppert.
The PDC superstars will be taking on eight Asian representatives in round one. These continental standouts include six players from the PDC Asian Tour, namely Filipino stars Alexis Toylo and Lourence Ilagan, Japanese duo Motomu Sakai and Ryusei Azemoto, Singapore’s Paul Lim, Hong Kong’s World Cup quarter-finalist Man Lok Leung, and the Bahrain duo of Abdulla Saeed and Basem Mahmood.
Those who have yet to purchase their tickets for this weekend may still do so but must act quickly due to tremendous demand. Only tickets to the all-new Bahrain Darts Masters Grandstand at Terminal 4 by Beyon are available, so fans must purchase theirs at the earliest to avoid missing out on one of the most highly sought-after occasions of the new year.
Due to the interest, BIC has opened a new section for the grandstand, offering additional seats to accommodate the many darts enthusiasts expected to attend.
All tables, including Premium and VIP areas for the 2026 Bahrain Darts Masters, have already completely sold out, but fans can still experience the magic of the game at the grandstand, which offers an incredible view of the stage, as well as close access to food and beverage areas at the venue.
Tickets to the Bahrain Darts Masters Grandstand are BD25 apiece for the two days. All available ticket options can be found online at bahraingp.com or by calling the BIC Hotline on +973-17450000.
This Thursday and Friday at the 2026 Bahrain Darts Masters, gates at Terminal 4 by Beyon at EWB are scheduled to open at 6pm, with action starting from 7pm each night. The opening round on day one will set the stage for the knockouts on day two, including the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final.
The Bahrain Darts Masters is organised by BIC, the PDC and sports promoter CBX, and is supported by Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority.
The game of darts has become an international phenomenon in recent years, and in the Kingdom, the Bahrain Darts Masters has grown tremendously over the past three seasons it has been held. The event has been moved to Terminal 4 by Beyon at EWB to be able to accommodate the massive crowd expected, and the venue will be transformed into Bahrain’s answer to the iconic Alexandra Palace.
Fans can expect an incredible atmosphere, with fancy dress, themed activations, and a wide range of food and beverage options as ‘Sport’s Biggest Party’ brings its unique flavour to Bahrain.
