Luke Littler will open his 2026 bet365 US Darts Masters campaign against Canadian veteran David Cameron at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night. The fresh draw places the world No.1 in the headline 9.15pm local-time slot in New York, with Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen and Gerwyn Price also seeded in a 16-player World Series field.
The update gives Littler a clear route through a North American-heavy first round, with the winner of Josh Rock against Jim Long waiting in Friday’s quarter-final bracket. Humphries starts against Leonard Gates, Price faces Brayden Hall and Van Veen meets Fred Krueger, while James Wade, Stephen Bunting and Jonny Clayton complete the PDC contingent.
Madison Square Garden draw sets up busy two-day sprint
The round of 16 is scheduled for Thursday, June 25, before the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final are all played on Friday, June 26. The US Darts Masters draw and schedule lists a £100,000 prize fund, with £30,000 reserved for the champion.
For Littler, the Cameron tie is another test of how efficiently he can carry his televised form across the Atlantic. For the North American qualifiers, it is the annual chance to turn one upset on the Madison Square Garden stage into a weekend-defining run against the PDC elite.
