The 2026 UK Open (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2026 Ladbrokes UK Open) was a professional darts tournament that took place from 6 to 8 March 2026 at the Butlin's Resort in Minehead, England. It was the 24th staging of the UK Open by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). The winner received £120,000 from a total prize fund of £750,000.
The tournament's 157-player field consisted of 126 PDC Tour Card holders, 15 top players from the 2025 editions of the PDC Development Tour and the PDC Challenge Tour, and 16 amateur qualifiers. Players entered the tournament incrementally based on their PDC Order of Merit ranking, with an open draw conducted for each round.
Luke Littler was the defending champion, having defeated James Wade 11–2 in the 2025 final. In a repeat of the previous year's final, he retained his title by beating Wade 11–7. Littler became the fourth player to defend the title, after Raymond van Barneveld, Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen, and was the first to achieve the feat since Van Gerwen in 2016.
Danny Noppert hit a nine-dart finish to win his fourth-round match against Dimitri Van den Bergh.
