Until Wednesday, each player plays once a day against the other players in the group. The winner of this group goes directly to the final group on Saturday.

The numbers two and three of the ranking will play a new group against three new players on Thursday evening and Friday evening. This is Jamie Kelling, Rob Collins and Deta Hedman.

The numbers five and six of the ranking on Wednesday will also play a new group against new participants. In this group, Nick Fullwell, Stephen Burton and Anastasia Dobromyslova are the entrants.

They will be in action on Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon. Three players from the evening group go through to the final and two from the morning group, so that the final consists of six players.

Unlike the first edition of the Modus League in 2020, the game will not be played online via a webcam connection, but at a location in Southampton, England. The matches can be followed via the Online Darts YouTube channel .
