During the last Euro Tour tournament of the season there were no more changes in the field of participants. A few players were very close to participating in Dortmund, but Cameron Menzies (first round eliminated), Niels Zonneveld (semifinalist) and Kim Huybrechts (losing finalist) were all one win away from qualifying for the final tournament. This allowed Dirk van Duijvenbode to breathe a sigh of relief, as the former World Grand Prix finalist occupied the last qualifying spot.

Martin Schindler though who is top seed is Van Duijvenbode's opponent in the first round of the European Darts Championship, who leads the ranking after two Euro Tour titles.

The draw for the first round also produced some absolute crackers. Dave Chisnall meets former world champion Michael Smith, while Stephen Bunting faces Gary Anderson. Reigning world champion Luke Humphries opens against two-time major winner Nathan Aspinall, and Rob Cross faces off with James Wade.

While other big names such as Luke Littler faces Andrew Gilding and Michael van Gerwen takes on Gabriel Clemens.

The 2024 European Championship will take place from Thursday, Oct. 24, to Sunday, Oct. 27. It will be the seventeenth time the tournament has taken place. Peter Wright crowned himself European champion for the second time in 2023 by defeating James Wade in the final. Van Gerwen and Phil Taylor are the record champions at the European Darts Championship with both winning four titles.
