The stars of the PDC do battle in Blackpool at the 2024 Betfred World Matchplay, and you can follow the latest results and schedule of play here.
The 31st staging of the prestigious ranking tournament will see 32 players battle it out for an £800,000 prize fund at the iconic Winter Gardens from July 13-21.
The top 16 players in the main Order of Merit are joined in the field by the next 16 highest ranked players from the ProTour Order of Merit.
Nathan Aspinall is the defending champion after he defeated Jonny Clayton 18-6 in last year’s final to become the 12th different winner of the event since 1994.
Fifth seed Aspinall is bidding to become only the fourth player to successfully retain the Betfred World Matchplay title, alongside Phil Taylor, Rod Harrington and Michael van Gerwen.
Other former champions in the field include Gary Anderson, Peter Wright, Rob Cross, Dimitri van den Bergh and James Wade – who is making his 19th consecutive appearance in the event.
Gerwyn Price, Raymond van Barneveld, Michael Smith are among the former finalists in action, while Luke Littler, Gian van Veen, Ricardo Pietreczko, Ritchie Edhouse and Luke Woodhouse are the five debutants in this year’s competition.
First Round matches are to be contested over the best of 19 legs, with Second Round matches best of 21, Quarter-Finals best of 31, Semi-Finals best of 33 and the final best of 35.
All matches must be won by two clear legs, with a match being extended if necessary for a maximum of six extra legs before a sudden death leg is required. For example, in a first to ten First Round match, if the score reaches 12-12 then the 25th leg will be the sudden death decider.
