The Deaf Darts Organisation (DDO) is proud to announce yet another milestone in our history — the Ladies’ registration for the Grand Slam of Darts 2026 is officially SOLD OUT! 


The Ladies register is now full.. Who will walk away with the Grand Slam Title in 2026!

For the very first time, the entire 32-player Ladies’ roster filled up at lightning speed, setting a new record for our organisation. To put that in context, last year it took several weeks to fill the Ladies’ category — but this year, it was all snapped up within days. The demand is proof of how fast women’s darts is growing, and how much excitement surrounds the biggest event on the DDO calendar.


This follows hot on the heels of the Men’s category selling out in just 48 hours, where 64 spots were gone in record time. Together, these achievements show that the Deaf Darts Grand Slam has never been bigger, stronger, or more loved by our community.



Why the Rush?

The Grand Slam isn’t just another tournament — it’s the crown jewel of Deaf darts. It’s the event where reputations are built, rivalries ignite, and champions are made.


Last year’s Grand Slam gave us unforgettable battles, electric crowds, and a true showcase of skill and spirit. Players left everything on the oche, and fans were treated to a weekend they’ll never forget.


It’s no surprise then that demand for 2026 has reached an all-time high. Players know the stakes are higher, the stage is bigger, and the opportunity to make history is right there for the taking.



Ladies’ Field is Stronger Than Ever

With 32 players locked in, the Ladies’ competition in 2026 promises to be the most competitive in DDO history. Every throw, every double, every finish will count — and with new faces lining up alongside established players, fans can expect a fascinating mix of experience and raw determination.


This year, the standard is set to rise even higher. The growth of the Ladies’ game is not only inspiring more players to step up but also raising the level of performance across the board. It’s no exaggeration to say the Ladies’ Grand Slam is becoming just as unmissable as the Men’s.



If You’re In, Better Get Practising!

For those 32 who made the list — congratulations! You are officially in. That means the countdown has begun, and with 11 months until the first dart is thrown, it’s time to put in the hours on the practice board.


Sharpen your scoring. Nail your doubles. Build your focus. Because when July 2026 arrives, the pressure will be high, the lights will be bright, and only one player will walk away holding the most coveted prize in Deaf darts.



The Trophy Awaits

At the heart of it all stands the Grand Slam trophy — the shining symbol of Deaf darts glory. Last year it was lifted in dramatic fashion, but in 2026 a new story will be written.


Will a favourite defend their reputation? Or will a rising star take the spotlight and carve their name into DDO history? Whatever happens, fans can expect unforgettable darts from start to finish.


The crown jewel of Deaf Darts.. Grand Slam trophy is waiting to be lifted again.

A Tournament Like No Other

With both the Men’s and Ladies’ categories now SOLD OUT, the Deaf Darts Grand Slam 2026 is already breaking records before it even begins.


With 96 players competing, international competitors confirmed, and the Deaf darts community buzzing with anticipation, this summer promises to be the biggest and most electrifying event the DDO has ever staged.


History is already being made — and we haven’t even started the first match.
