What is the US Darts Masters?
Since 2017, the US Darts Masters event has been a part of the annual World Series of Darts tournaments held by the PDC. The ultimate goal of the World Series of Darts events is to make darts more popular across the world with each tournament being held in different countries worldwide. Las Vegas was home to the first US Darts Masters events in 2017 up until 2022 when the event moved to New York.
If you're looking to attend the 2026 US Darts Masters, stay tuned to find out all of the event details to know where and when the event will be held:

2025 JDC ACCREDITATION DAY
Have you ever thought about pursuing a professional career in teaching darts? Then you should check out the JDC Accreditation Day taking place in New York, right before the US Darts Masters begins.
The Junior Darts Corporation, or JDC for short, aims to teach and promote darts amongst the younger generations and has over 77 darts academies worldwide.
Every year, alongside the US Darts Masters, they host an accreditation day where they teach aspiring instructors and coaches everything you need to know about running your own darts academy.
The booking fee is $250 per person and includes 2 tickets to the Friday evening session of the US Darts Masters, so you can make your way over to the big game after your course. Check back next year for the 2026 US Darts Masters for an opportunity to take advantage of this program.
WHERE TO WATCH THE US DARTS MASTERS ONLINE
Can't make it to New York to watch the US Darts Masters in person? No worries! There are two main places you can watch the event streamed live online: PDC TV and now Peacock.
The PDC streams all of their hosted events through their streaming platform, PDC TV. You can purchase a monthly subscription for just £9.99 a month, or approximately $12.50 a month. A yearly subscription will run you £59.99 per year, which is around $80.94 a year, but it saves you 50% more than if you were to pay for 12 months with the monthly plan.
Peacock is an American-based streaming service that will begin broadcasting major darts events like the Premier League Darts, US Darts Masters, World Darts Championship, and much more, thanks to the PDC's partnership with NBC Sports. A monthly subscription costs $7.99, while the annual subscription is currently $24.99 with their promotion (normally $79.99/year).
US Darts Masters: A-Z Travel Guide
Preparing to travel for the US Darts Masters can be an overwhelming task with buying tickets and booking hotels and flights. We've made it easier for you with our 3-step A-Z Travel Guide plus additional travel tips to make the most out of your trip.
Step 1: Buying Your Event Tickets
First things first, you'll want to buy your event tickets and secure your seat at the US Darts Masters. You'll need to buy a ticket for each event you want to attend. Tickets are not on sale as the 2026 US Darts Masters has not been announced yet, but make sure to come back for updates here once the event gets announced.
If you're deciding on what tickets to buy, here's some important information to know about which seats to get at the 2025 US Darts Masters:
Floor seats (also called table seats) are an incredible experience if you can afford them — they usually run around $300 plus fees. Not only can you choose a spot to be seen in the background of the US Darts Masters broadcast, but you'll also have a chance to snag the player flights and other trinkets they throw into the crowd!
The seats are quite roomy with tables to set down your personal belongings and any signs you brought along. As for the view, you can almost see what the players are actually hitting without having to look at the big screens.
However, we can argue that the actual best seats in the theater are in Row 1 on the stage's right side (the audience's left side). This is where the players do their infamous walk-on (and walk-off) entrances! You might just get a high-five or fist bump from your favorite player and maybe even an autograph!
If you're interested in upgrading your experience with floor seats or Row 1 seats, make sure to plan ahead for the 2026 US Darts Masters. Keep an eye out for the priority ticket signups next year and set reminders on your calendar to snag these premium seats!
Regardless of which seats you choose for the US Darts Masters, if you're curious about what your view looks from your seat, you can look it up on A View From My Seat. Users upload pictures of their view from their seats, making it an awesome tool for ticket buyers to use when picking the best seats for their needs.
Pro tip: Make friends with the cable runner and camera guy if you want to get on PDC TV during the US Darts Masters. They usually set up ahead of time and queue the switch to a crowd shot.
Step 2: Booking Your Hotel
Hotel rooms fill up fast, so you'll definitely want to book your hotel as soon as possible for the US Darts Masters. This year, the CDC is promoting The New Yorker, A Wyndham Hotel with a special rate of $229 for a queen bed or $269 for 2 double beds. This hotel is right down the street from the event venue, so the location is perfect as you'll want to be a short walk away from the venue for convenience.
What to Expect After Booking your hotel
After booking your hotel room for the US Darts Masters, here are a few things you can expect during your stay at The New Yorker:
- Check-in time: 4:00 PM EST
- Check-out time: 11:00 AM EST
- You'll be asked to pay the following charges at the property:
- Deposit of $100 per accommodation per day.
- Resort fee of $33.27 per accommodation per night. If you're booking with the Group Code, you won't have to worry about this!
- The resort fee includes access to the following:
- Business center (with computers)
- Fitness center
- Internet
- Phone calls
Step 3: Booking Your Flight
After buying your event tickets and booking a hotel, you can finally book your flight to fly into New York for the US Darts Masters. There are a few different airports in New York, but the closest one to the venue is LGA (LaGuardia Airport).
Depending on where you live, Southwest Airlines might be your cheapest airline option. Our crew is flying out of Sacramento and Wichita, so your pricing may look different from ours. Flying Southwest Airlines from Sacramento cost our A-Z rep $784.95 while our USA Darts rep flying Southwest out of Wichita cost around $406. New York is not the cheapest travel location, but it's certainly a worldwide bucket list destination spot.
Since the US Darts Masters takes place on Friday through Saturday, we recommend flying in on Thursday if you're on the West Coast or Midwest as it will take all day to cross the country. You don't want to miss Friday's evening session at 7:00 PM. We also suggest flying out late morning or afternoon on Sunday since the finale on Saturday night won't end until around midnight — you'll definitely be up late celebrating and partying hard!
After you land in New York for the US Darts Masters and gather your luggage, we recommend taking an Uber or Lyft instead of a taxi for cheaper ride rates to your hotel. With Uber or Lyft, it's about a 45-minute to an hour-long ride (depending on traffic) to The New Yorker, so plan accordingly.
Going through TSA with darts
Bringing your darts along to the US Darts Masters can really elevate your experience, but if you're traveling with steel tip darts — don't risk it! TSA doesn't allow steel tip darts in your carry on, so check in your back to avoid having your darts taken while going through security.
If you don't want to check in your bag, we recommend bringing soft tip darts and conversion points instead. Fully disassemble your darts setup and place everything in your toiletries bag. Check out conversion points available on our website below:

BULLHITTERS X USA DARTS | FIRST TIME IN AMERICA!
We caught up with the UK’s favorite darts YouTubers as they experienced New York City for the first time! From late-night chaos to life-changing pizza slices and jaw-dropping sights, the lads share their unfiltered thoughts on NYC and the legendary US Darts Masters event.
BULLHITTERS AMERICAN FAST FOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME!
The Bullhitters are BACK from the UK and ready to dive headfirst into their very first taste of American Fast Food! This time, they tried out Chick-fil-A, Shake Shack, and Raising Cane's. Expect laughs, debates, and plenty of cheeky banter when you watch the full-length video!
$100 DARTS CHALLENGES
What happens when you take some of the best dart players in the world and one of the most popular darts creators in the UK and give them the silliest darts we could find? Well, take a look at our $100 Darts Challenges series, where we offer up a crisp $100 bill to see if these players could step up to the challenge!
Two of the best players in the world, Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries, were brave enough to take on our $100 bill dart challenge with "baby darts" and American Woody darts. Can they get $100 richer? Find out by watching the video to the left!
We even roped Damon Heta, Australian darts star, into our shenanigans for a shot at the $100 bill challenge using the same mini darts. But, a twist: Damon suggests a $100 donation to support fellow darts pro Danny Baggish and his son, who is currently battling leukemia.
If you want to help contribute to the cause, help us rally behind the Baggish family by donating with the link below. Anything helps.
Last but not least, we teamed up with the Bullhitters for yet another exciting video where they take on the $100 challenge together. Can they take home the cash prize? We won't spoil you — stick until the end of the video to find out!
USA DARTS WITH BBC NEWS
While at the 2024 US Darts Masters in New York, Jen and Will were approached by BBC Sport News to do an interview about the growth of darts here in the US. Luckily, they were nice enough to send us the clip for you all to watch. It was an extremely humbling experience for our team to get interviewed about American darts, and we're happy to share the joy with all of you too.
More Travel Tips
Although the main attraction of your trip will be the US Darts Masters, we suggest exploring New York to make the most of your trip! Read along for some of the best New York travel tips we have to offer:
how to dress
The US Darts Masters is typically held in late Spring, so the weather in New York will be a bit hot and humid. Depending on the day, it'll be roughly around 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit with lows of 55 to 65 degrees at night. Humidity will be around 50 to 75%. With the warm weather in New York, you'll want to bring versatile clothing for warm weather during the day and a cool breeze at night, especially for the US Darts Masters evening sessions. The Theater venue has great air conditioning, so don't worry about overheating during the darts action unless you typically run very hot.
A lot of destinations in New York will be walkable from the hotel and US Darts Masters venue, so bring comfortable walking shoes! Explore the area and sightsee as much as you can on your trip. Every darter loves a classic short-sleeved jersey and shorts or jeans.
things to do
You'll be in the heart of Manhattan for the US Darts Masters event, and there are TONS of things to do in the area. An affordable and quick way to travel within the city is the New York Subway system. It's chaotic and confusing at times, especially if you're not used to taking the subway, but it's a memorable experience nonetheless. You might get lost or see a rat or two... but it's all part of the fun!
Google Maps and Apple Maps will be your best friends when navigating to your destination. Here are some of our personal favorite activities from our previous travels to New York.
9/11 Memorial
Pay your respects to the lives lost in the tragedy of September 11th at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum located at the World Trade Center. You'll need to drive or take transit to the Memorial if you're staying near the US Darts Masters venue, but it's one of the biggest beacons of hope in the US.
The Memorial features large manmade waterfalls that flow into the Memorial pools and you can read the engravings of every person's name that perished in the attacks.
Central Park
Central Park is the first ever landscaped park in the United States, spanning a whopping 843 acres! It's an absolutely HUGE park and every acre of it is a beautiful sight to see. Check it out before or after the US Darts Masters event to make the most of this huge park.
Because it's so large, there's an endless list of things to do in Central Park. You can check out the Central Park Zoo, go on park tours and rent bikes just to name a few.
Statue of Liberty
Everyone knows the Statue of Liberty, but if you haven't had the chance before to see it up close now's your chance! While you're on your trip for the US Darts Masters, make sure to snap some photos with the legendary copper monument.
You can check out the statue up close if you take the ferry to Liberty Island where the statue lives, but you can also see the monument from across the water as well.
Edge Observation deck
Even grander than the Empire State Building is the Edge Observation Deck, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. And it's only a short walk away from the US Darts Masters venue!
Photographs can hardly do the view any justice. Being able to see all of New York from the top of the building is simply breathtaking. It's not the cheapest experience, but you can't beat the incredible views. This breathtaking building is also where Luke Humphries proposed to his long-time girlfriend, overseeing the stunning skyscrapers of New York. Quite the romantic and memorable scene for anyone!
Check out more of our team's photos below from their visit to the Edge Observation Deck.
food
Like most big cities, the food scene in New York is unforgettable. Make sure to eat whenever you can while you're on your US Darts Masters trip as you'll be drinking quite a lot. Most dart fans drink while watching the US Darts Masters games and each event is roughly 4 hours long.
Below are some highly-rated recommendations from our team and from other New York natives that you may want to check out while traveling.
PIZZA
NY Pizza Suprema is a fan favorite of our crew and only a short walk away from the US Darts Masters; however, there are endless pizza options. Thin crust is the signature of New York pizza, so be on the lookout for that!
BAGELS
Bagels were introduced to New York by Jewish immigrants back in the 1800s. Almost all New Yorkers have an endless obsession with bagels, and rightfully so. Our crew thoroughly enjoyed Liberty Bagels, the number one ranked bagel shop in Manhattan. Try the Lox if you're a salmon and capers fan.
HOT DOGS
You just have to. They're iconic, they're cheap and they're readily found on every corner of New York. One of the best street foods New York has to offer and a great snack for the US Darts Masters.
Each hot dog is dressed with the standard New York toppings: sweet onion relish, sauerkraut, and deli-style mustard.
SANDWICHES
Katz's Delicatessen is an absolute MUST stop for incredible sandwiches, no questions asked. This Jewish deli is the oldest in all of New York and they're famous for their Pastrami sandwiches. Because it's so popular, you'll need a lot of time to travel there and queue in line, so we'd recommend going for lunch in between the US Darts Masters sessions.
Share a sandwich with a friend, they're HUGE!!! We strongly preferred the Pastrami over the Reuben. The best part is that you can sample the meat as you're ordering in line. Truly the best.
COFFEE
Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts get the job done for a quick caffeine fix, but there are also tons of coffee shops to try near the US Darts Masters for a unique New York experience. Locals online have raved about Café Grumpy for their endearing logo and rich espresso. Their prices will run you around the same as the average Starbucks drink, so make sure to check it out.
If you're looking for a classic cappuccino, flat white or espresso - we recommend the Culture 307 location near MSG. There you can grab one of their award-winning chocolate chip cookies!
KOREAN FOOD
Only a few blocks away from the US Darts Masters venue is New York's historic Koreatown, home to a bustling community of Korean culture. If you're interested in trying some Korean food, Woorijip (oo-ree-jip) is a great grab-and-go spot with super cheap meal options ranging from $5 to $15. They offer an impressive 8% discount if you pay in cash, and sometimes they also have 50% off some meal options after dinner time.
A classic starter kit would be the kimchi fried rice and japchae (jap-chay) with iconic Korean flavors that anyone would love. And of course, you can't forget the side dishes!
souvenirs
Don't forget to leave room in your suitcase for any souvenirs you might pick up in New York! Picking up some gifts for your loved ones as mementos of your trip is a great way to show someone that you were thinking of them. If you don't have much to spend on souvenirs, an I LOVE NY t-shirt or fridge magnet is a simple and affordable gift found on every corner.
