Day 2 of the 2026 Betfred World Matchplay took place on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at the iconic Winter Gardens in Blackpool. The action-packed day featured a bumper double session with eight first-round matches, seeing tournament giants like Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson, and James Wade advance into the second round.
2018 champion Gary Anderson put on an absolute masterclass, brushing aside Ryan Joyce with a clinical 10–2 victory.
The opening match of the day between Dirk van Duijvenbode and Chris Dobey required extended legs, with Van Duijvenbode finally breaking through to win 13–11 in a tiebreak.
Beyond Van Gerwen's steady triumph over Andrew Gilding, young Dutch stars Gian van Veen and Wessel Nijman both secured crucial debut-round wins to lock in an exciting head-to-head second-round matchup.
