DARTS · 2015 TO 2026

UK Open prize money

The PDC has paid £3.7m across the eight editions of the UK Open we hold, from 2015 to 2026. The 2026 pot was £750,000 between 160 players, the open draw, where every round is drawn at random and a tour card holder can come out against a qualifier, and Luke Littler took £120,000 of it.

A darts player is paid once, for where the run ended, so every pound of a pot lands on exactly one player and the eight pots below add up to the £3,700,000 the field has shared. Luke Littler has taken more out of the UK Open than anyone else: £232,500 from three appearances.

The pot, season by season

season running total

The prize fund has gone from £300,000 in 2015 to £750,000 in 2026, which is £450,000 more and 150% up. Winning it has moved with it, from £60,000 to £120,000, and the champion's share of the pot has gone from 20% to 16%. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches £3,700,000.

What each finishing place pays

The ten bands at the 2026 UK Open

Butlin's Resort, Minehead
Winner £120,000 One player, beat James Wade in the final
Runner-up £60,000 One player, lost the final to Luke Littler
Semi-finalists £35,000 Two players, lost in the semi-finals
Quarter-finalists £20,000 Four players, lost in the quarter-finals
Last 16 £12,500 Eight players, lost in the round of 16
Last 32 £7,500 Sixteen players, lost in the round of 32
Last 64 £3,000 32 players, lost in the round of 64
Last 96 £2,000 32 players, lost in the round of 96
Last 128 £1,250 32 players, lost in the round of 128
Last 160 £0 32 players, lost the first match

Nothing here stacks. A player who lost in the semi-finals collected £35,000 and not that plus every band beneath it, which is why the ten bands come to £750,000 rather than to the £261,250 a ladder reading would put on the champion alone. The 2026 rate card has the players in each band and what the band paid out.
