The recently-revamped tournament will take place at Arena MK from January 29 to February 1 and will feature the top 24 players on the PDC Order of Merit joined by a further eight players who will progress from Preliminary Rounds held on Wednesday January 28.
The sets format will be best of three legs per set and will offer all non-qualified Tour Card holders, the top eight players from each of the PDC’s 2024 Secondary Tours and Global Affiliate Tours, plus four players from the Junior Darts Corporation, the chance to qualify.
The Preliminary Rounds will be streamed live and will initially be played in a round-robin phase of 32 groups, followed by a knockout phase from the Last 32 onwards to determine the eight qualifiers for the main event.
Luke Humphries is the defending champion after he edged out Jonny Clayton 6-5 in a dramatic final 12 months ago to become the first name on the new trophy.
Humphries is the number two seed in this year’s event as he bids to retain the title, while back-to-back World Champion Luke Littler aims to add this trophy to his ever-growing haul of major silverware.
World Championship finalist Gian van Veen and former World Champions Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and Gary Anderson are also amongst the seeded contingent.
Premier League stars Clayton, Josh Rock and Stephen Bunting also feature, alongside Nathan Aspinall, James Wade and Ryan Searle.
