Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price will headline a packed field competing for a top prize of £100,000 at the 2026 World Series of Darts Finals.

The event, which has a £450,000 prize pot, will return to the AFAS Live in Amsterdam and is set to take place between September 17-20.

Reigning champion Van Gerwen will be out to defend his title on home soil after he bested Littler in last year's final to scoop an £80,000 cheque at last year's event.

Van Gerwen has been in excellent form on the circuit this year, having already won the Bahrain Darts Masters in January and the Nordic Darts Masters in June.

He also came close to winning the inaugural Saudi Arabia Darts Masters in January, but was bested by Littler 8-5 in the final .

World Matchplay champion Littler enters the tournament as the third seed, while Price, who was beaten by the 19-year-old in the final at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool , is the second seed.

Luke Humphries also joins the 32-player field as the fourth seed, after he claimed victory at the US Darts masters in June, while New Zealand Darts Masters winner Jonny Clayton and Australian Darts Masters champion James Wade are seeded sixth and seventh, respectively.

Gian van Veen and Stephen Bunting, seeded fifth and eighth, make up the final seeded players on the list.

Those inside the top 24 of the final World Series rankings will gain a berth to play in Amsterdam.

Australian Brody Klinge, who was beaten by Wade in the final of the Australian Darts Masters, will make his debut at the World Series of Darts Finals .

Nathan Aspinall, Josh Rock and Danny Noppert will also join the field, while Ross Smith, who won the Players Championship 20 in June after picking up his maiden European Tour title earlier in the year is also in the field.

Ryan Searle, Wessel Nijman, Chris Dobey and Jermaine Wattimena have also gained tickets to Amsterdam as the four top non-qualified players from the PDC World Rankings as of August 23.

The field was confirmed following Monday night's Tour Card Holder Qualifier in which Rob Cross was among four names to book their place at the World Series of Darts Finals.
