The elite stars from 32 nations head to Hamburg for the annual World Cup of Darts, and you can follow the latest results and fixtures here.
The top two players from each nation will battle it out across four days for £350,000 in prize money as the unique invitational returns to the darting hotbed of Germany.
Netherlands are the reigning and four-time champions after defeating Scotland in last year’s final, and a successful title defence would see them eclipse England to become the most decorated nation in the history of the competition.
Michael van Gerwen will be partnered by debutant Jermaine Wattimena, the Dutch number two, with Raymond van Barneveld missing out on the event for the first time.
England, who were guided to four titles by Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis, will be represented by world number two Rob Cross and world finalist Michael Smith.
Two-time beaten finalists Scotland are again represented by Peter Wright and Gary Anderson, while Wales, Australia and Belgium are the other competing nations to have previously reached the final.
The tournament runs from June 6-9 at the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany.
All First Round matches are to be contested over the best of nine legs (pairs). Second Round, Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals will be played as two best of seven legs singles matches. 
In the event of both nations winning one singles match apiece, a best of seven-leg Doubles match will be played to decide the tie.
The final will be played as two best of seven leg singles matches, followed by a best of seven-leg doubles match and then reverse singles matches. The first team to win three games is declared the winner.
