Silverstone's Chief Commercial Officer Nick Read said: "We're always looking for new ways to elevate the fan experience, and this announcement reflects exactly that ambition. The British Grand Prix is already one of the biggest weekends on the UK sporting calendar, and bringing a world-class darts spectacle to Silverstone adds a new level of drama and atmosphere.
"Fans can enjoy two major sports in one ticketed experience, creating a one-of-a-kind day on and off the circuit. It's about delivering more excitement, more entertainment, and even greater value for everyone who joins us."
It follows the announcement that David Guetta will headline Silverstone's Main Stage on Thursday night, with John Newman, Pendulum, Rudimental and MK performing at the T1 afterparty.
Reigning world champion Lando Norris claimed first place on the podium at the 2025 British Grand Prix, followed by Oscar Piastri and Nico Hülkenberg.
