The World Series of Darts Finals 2027 take place from 16 to 19 September 2027 at the AFAS Live in Amsterdam. It is the thirteenth edition of the PDC tournament, first played in 2015, which closes the World Series season, during which seven individual events are staged in different countries over the course of the year. In the 2027 PDC calendar the Finals are slotted in as one of the big televised tournaments, between the European Tour event in Basel (10 to 12 September) and the Players Championships in Den Bosch. The field is determined by a separate World Series ranking: points are awarded at the seven events of the series (winner 12, finalist 8, semi-finalists 5, quarter-finalists 3, first-round players 1 point). Eligible to play there are the top 4 of the PDC Order of Merit after the World Championship plus four further top players, joined by regional qualifiers. Since 2024 the tournament has consisted of 32 players, all of whom enter directly in the first round. In addition, the Tour Card Holder Qualifier for the Finals takes place on 23 August 2027 at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester; if a spot becomes free, under rule 3.7 of the PDC regulations the first player on the reserve list of that qualifier moves up. The first two rounds are played as Best of 11 Legs, the quarter-finals as Best of 19 Legs and the semi-finals and final as Best of 21 Legs. In total the 32 players compete for a prize fund of £450,000, of which £100,000 goes to the winner. As this is an invitational tournament, the prize money won does not count towards the PDC World Rankings. Jack's is the sponsor. The record winner is Michael van Gerwen with six titles, most recently in 2025. The defending champion is Ross Smith, who beat Gerwyn Price 11-5 in the 2026 final. Amsterdam has repeatedly hosted the Finals since 2019; Glasgow, Schwechat and Salzburg have also staged the tournament.
