A match made in heaven continues: StarGames, darts and Dortmund reunite for the 2026 Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) European Championship at the iconic Westfalenhalle. The Greentube-owned online gaming brand has secured high-impact branding rights for the entire tournament, taking place from 22 to 25 October.
As part of the partnership, the StarGames logo will feature prominently on the sleeve of the throwing arm of all participating players throughout the event. In addition, the brand will have a strong presence on the main stage backdrop and will be displayed four times per session on arena screens.
Further highlights include exclusive and highly visible logo placement in the stage pit area, as well as the “Fan Walk-On presented by StarGames,” which will take place before every session. The brand will also be integrated into the European Championship’s digital footprint through multiple appearances across PDC Europe’s social media channels.
Ticket giveaways, fan experiences and Max Hopp on site
StarGames will create memorable moments for fans, offering both VIP and regular tickets as part of upcoming giveaways, alongside four signed tour jerseys. More details will be announced via StarGames channels in due course. Additionally, StarGames-sponsored darts professional Max Hopp will once again be on site, as he was last year, accompanying the event.
