The playing schedule for the 2023 European Darts Championship has been announced. No fewer than five (former) world champions will be in action during the opening day of the tournament in Dortmund, Germany.
The 32 best players of the European Tour will gather in Dortmund from October 26 to 29, where the 16th edition of the European Championship is scheduled. The first round will be played on Thursday and Friday evening. The 16 players in the top half of the tournament schedule will play on the opening day.
The top event of the first night is the clash between reigning world champion Michael Smith and five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld. However, more world champions appear on stage that evening. Rob Cross meets Dimitri van den Bergh, who is the only Belgian participant at this year's European Darts Championship. Gerwyn Price crosses swords with Keane Barry, while Peter Wright faces Gabriel Clemens.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
