QUARTER-FINALS ✅ A dramatic afternoon in Dortmund saw eight become four! 🕖 Tune in for the final session from 1900 CET (1800 GMT). #ECDarts | QF 📺 bit.ly/2023ECLive
After a very exciting afternoon session, the semifinals and final of the European Darts Championship are on the program Sunday evening. Four men will battle it out for final victory.
That Danny Noppert is still in the tournament may be called a miracle. The dart player from Joure was 7-0 behind in his quarterfinal against Gerwyn Price. However, Noppert managed to pull himself together and defeated 'The Iceman' after an unparalleled comeback 10-8. In the semi-final 'The Freeze' will take on Peter Wright, who was too strong for Chris Dobey with a 10-8 win.
Gian Van Veen caused a huge sensation by beating Michael van Gerwen 10-6. The dart player from Poederoijen also faces a surprising semifinalist himself. Where many people expected Luke Humphries to reach the last four, it was James Wade who outsmarted 'Cool Hand Luke' in the quarter-finals. After the semifinals, there will be a 15-minute break before the grand finale takes place later in the evening.
In the UK, the tournament in full will be shown on ITV, with our territories being shown on a variety of platforms including Viaplay in the Netherlands, DAZN in Germany and PDCTV in those without TV coverage.
The PDC has provided £500,000 in prize money for this event. All 32 participants are guaranteed a £6,000 starting premium.
With a win in the first round, the proceeds rise to £10,000. This eventually rises further to £120,000 in prize money for the winner of the European Darts Championship.
