Q-School will be completed at two different venues over two stages. The UK Q-School will take place in Milton Keynes, while the European Q-School will be held in Niedernhausen, Germany. Players from outside Europe may choose which Q-School they participate in.
The first stage is from Jan. 9 to 11. The eight quarter-finalists from each day, at both locations, qualify for the final phase. Through a points ranking, spots for the final phase can also be earned, so that at both locations the final phase of the Q-School will start with 128 participants.
Some players are already directly admitted to the final phase of the Q-School. This applies to players who lost their PDC Tour Card after 2022, as well as the top-16 players on the Challenge Tour and Development Tour.
Participation in the Q-School costs £450. Registration can be done through this link until Friday, January 6 at 3 p.m.
