Grand Slam of Darts 2026 to begin with expanded format and players

Summary

The Grand Slam of Darts 2026 is set to commence on November 14 in Wolverhampton, running until November 22.

Each group winner will advance to the knockout stage, significantly raising the stakes as players will only play two matches in the group stage.
