The European Tour is set to return with events confirmed for Budapest and Gibraltar in September, as the PDC visits Hungary for the first time.<\/p>\n

The Hungarian Darts Trophy will take place at the Papp L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Sportar\u00e9na in Budapest from September 3-5, marking the start of the 2021 European Tour.<\/p>\n

This will be followed later in the month by a return to Gibraltar, an established and popular European Tour destination, for the Gibraltar Darts Trophy from September 24-26.<\/p>\n

Both tournaments will see a field of 48 players competing across three days of action, with further qualification and seeding details listed below.<\/p>\n

The PDC is continuing to work with its partners towards additional European Tour events for 2021, with details to be confirmed once available.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the postponed 2020 Hungarian Darts Trophy will remain valid for this year\u2019s event, with further ticket information to be released in due course. Ticket information for the Gibraltar Darts Trophy will also be confirmed in due course.<\/p>\n
