Top seed Gerwyn Price will begin his bid for a second Keno GO Australian Darts Masters title against Simon Whitlock, as Gian van Veen and Raymond Smith prepare to go head-to-head in Wollongong.

The year's final World Series of Darts event will take place at the WIN Entertainment Centre on August 21-22, with Jonny Clayton bidding to claim back-to-back titles following his victory in New Zealand.

Price - the inaugural Australian Darts Masters champion in 2024 - will take centre stage on Friday night when he faces Australian icon Whitlock, as the pair prepare to renew their rivalry on the big stage.

Following Friday's opening night, the 2026 Australian Darts Masters will conclude with the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final during a blockbuster Saturday evening session.
