Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), ‘The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East’, hosts the official draw and autograph session for the 2026 Bahrain Darts Masters this Wednesday evening at Bahrain Rugby Club in Saar.

The fan-engagement event will determine the match-ups for the first round of the two-day darts spectacle, and it is scheduled for a 6.30pm start.

BIC is inviting all those with tickets to this year’s Bahrain Darts Masters to join in on the pre-competition formalities. The 2026 Bahrain Darts Masters will be taking place this Thursday and Friday at Terminal 4 by Beyon in Exhibition World Bahrain.

Fans attending Wednesday night at Bahrain Rugby Club will have the chance to meet the world’s biggest names in the game, headlined by recently crowned back-to-back World Champion and 2024 winner in Bahrain Luke Littler. The teenage sensation will be amongst the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) superstars who will be on hand to take pictures, sign autographs, and mingle with fans.

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.

All tables, including Premium and VIP areas for the 2026 Bahrain Darts Masters, have already completely sold out, but darts enthusiasts 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.

Littler will be joined at the event and in this weekend’s event by 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, and Hong Kong’s World Cup quarter-finalist Man Lok Leung. Completing the 16-player field are the Bahrain duo of Abdulla Saeed and Basem Mahmood. 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 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.
