Beau Greaves and Fallon Sherrock have learned their opening Women’s World Matchplay assignments after the PDC confirmed the full 2026 field and draw. The eight-player event will return to Blackpool’s Winter Gardens, giving the women’s game another major-stage showcase alongside the wider Betfred World Matchplay programme.
Greaves heads the qualification list as the clear number one seed, with Lisa Ashton and Sherrock also among the headline names in the field. The draw confirmation gives players and supporters a firm Blackpool route map, with match-ups now locked in rather than left as a rankings race.
Blackpool route now set for leading women’s stars
The PDC confirmed the field and draw in its latest Women’s World Matchplay update, listing Greaves at the top of the qualification standings on £45,700, followed by Ashton on £15,550 and Sherrock in the chasing pack.
For Greaves, the immediate focus is turning that top-seed status into another statement on a televised stage. NineDartNews has already tracked the Beau Greaves Women’s World Matchplay draw, and the confirmed bracket now sharpens the wider tournament picture.
Sherrock’s presence adds another familiar storyline. She remains one of the most recognisable names in the women’s game, and the Fallon Sherrock Women’s World Matchplay draw gives Blackpool another obvious broadcast pull as well as ranking significance.
The key point is certainty. The field is no longer a projection, and the leading contenders can now prepare for specific opponents at one of the sport’s most visible summer events.
