Hold on to your discs, Nordic fans — 2026 is shaping up to be the most thrilling year in Swedish disc golf history. The Disc Golf Pro Tour has officially confirmed two elite-level events on Swedish soil, bringing the world’s best players right to our backyard. If you’ve ever dreamed of watching the pros battle it out on world-class Nordic fairways, this is your year.
The Swedish Open: Borås Goes Big
First up is the DGPT Swedish Open presented by Kastaplast, set for June 26–28, 2026 at Ymergårdens Discgolfcenter in Borås. Kastaplast — the beloved Swedish disc manufacturer that needs no introduction in these parts — steps up as the presenting sponsor, making this feel like a true homecoming for Nordic disc golf. Expect jaw-dropping shot-making, passionate local crowds, and the kind of energy that only a hometown event can deliver.
The Ale Open: Playing the #2 Course in the World
Just one week later, the tour rolls north to Nödinge-Nol for the Ale Open (July 3–5, 2026), hosted at the legendary Ale Disc Golf Center — currently ranked the second-best disc golf course in the entire world. Let that sink in. The planet’s top pros will be navigating the same fairways you can walk any weekend. The Ale course is renowned for its challenging terrain, stunning natural settings, and the kind of technical demand that separates the great from the truly elite. This is a bucket-list event for any disc golf fan.
A Historic Year for Nordic Disc Golf
This double-header is part of the DGPT’s major European expansion in 2026, which now spans eight events across five countries — Estonia, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, and Poland. Combined with the European Open PDGA Major in Tallinn (June 16–21) and the inaugural PDGA Europa Cup in Northern Estonia (July 23–26), Nordic fans have never had more elite disc golf action within reach. The region’s disc golf infrastructure has been booming — Norway alone now has 845 courses, and Finland’s disc golf courses outnumber traditional golf courses 6-to-1. The world is finally showing up to match the passion that’s been here all along.
Whether you’re planning to make the trip to Borås or Ale, or you’ll be watching the live streams with your jaw on the floor, 2026 is the year to be a Nordic disc golf fan. Start hyping up your crew, mark those dates in your calendar, and get ready — world-class disc golf is coming to Sweden, and it’s going to be absolutely electric. 🎯
