PDGA unveils 2026 schedule with 11 Majors and global reach
PDGA’s 2026 calendar stacks 11 Majors, 18 Elite Series stops and 262 A-Tiers, with the European Open landing in Tallinn, Estonia, June 18-21.
The 2026 PDGA calendar packs 11 Majors, 18 Disc Golf Pro Tour Elite Series events and 262 A-Tiers into a season that runs from February through October, with the European Open set for June 18-21 in Tallinn, Estonia. That mix gives the year a hard spine: the biggest trophies sit beside a deep amateur ladder, and the crowded middle of the schedule will shape who stays sharp, who starts traveling in circles, and which storylines survive the summer grind.
The 11 Majors are the PDGA Champions Cup, College Disc Golf National Championships, Tim Selinske United States Masters Disc Golf Championships, United States Amateur Disc Golf Championship, PDGA European Open, Junior Disc Golf World Championships, United States Women’s Disc Golf Championships, Amateur Disc Golf World Championships, Professional Disc Golf World Championships, Masters Disc Golf World Championships and the United States Disc Golf Championship. The European Open remains the lone Major in Europe, and its place at the Song Festival Grounds in Tallinn keeps a major title on the continent even as most of the sport’s biggest dates remain concentrated in North America.
The deepest layer of the calendar is where the season gets truly busy. PDGA’s 262 A-Tiers are spread across 45 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces, with 22 NADGT Amateur A-Tiers, six DGPT A-Tiers, three DGMT A-Tiers, 221 other A-Tiers in the United States and 10 more in Canada. The PDGA also said the 2026 Event Sanctioning Form is enabled, which opens the door for local scheduling to move fast now that the backbone of the season is in place. After more than 10,000 events were sanctioned worldwide in 2025, the sport is not just adding events, it is filling nearly every workable weekend.
The tour side of the calendar is just as deliberate. DGPT said its 2026 season will include 18 Elite Series tournaments and five PDGA Pro Majors, a 23-stop run between February and October. The circuit also said its 2026 European schedule is designed to keep touring players together across the full swing, rather than scattering the field. Jeff Spring tied that approach to feedback from European organizers, Tour Card players, the DGPT Player Council and data on spectators and viewership.
That matters because the European stretch has already shown real pull. DGPT said the 2025 European summer swing drew more than 25,000 spectators in person, and Championship Sunday at the 2025 Pro World Championships in Finland drew more than 1.3 million live viewers. Compared with 2025, when the PDGA calendar listed 11 Majors, 20 DGPT Elite Series events, 19 NADGT Amateur A-Tiers, 219 other U.S. A-Tiers and 13 other Canadian A-Tiers, the 2026 schedule trims a little volume in one lane while keeping the sport’s overall scale intact and its international footprint growing.
