Schedule European Championship Darts 2024: Humphries and Anderson remain in wide open draw

We have arrived at the quarter-finals of the 2024 European Championship in Dortmund with a draw completely wide open going into the final day.

It is the seventeenth time the European Darts Championship has been held. Peter Wright crowned himself European champion for the second time in 2023 by beating James Wade in the final. Van Gerwen and Phil Taylor are the record champions at the European Darts Championship with both winning four titles.

First, it is Dirk van Duijvenbode who will make an attempt to qualify for the last four. After wins over Martin Schindler and Daryl Gurney, 'Aubergenius' faces Luke Woodhouse. 'The Shed' won over Ross Smith and Ryan Searle earlier in the tournament.

Gary Anderson was responsible for the elimination of Michael van Gerwen on Saturday, having also previously won over Stephen Bunting. Now 'The Flying Scotsman' will take on tournament sensation Ritchie Edhouse. The Englishman started his tournament with a 6-1 victory over Gian van Veen with an average of 109 and was then also too strong for former world champion Michael Smith.

Jermaine Wattimena surprised in the second round by sending James Wade home, having earlier defeated defending champion Peter Wright 6-0. The task now becomes even more difficult, however, as none other than reigning world champion Luke Humphries awaits at the last eight. Cool Hand Luke' recorded convincing victories over Nathan Aspinall and Jonny Clayton.

In the final match of the afternoon, it is Danny Noppert and Ricardo Pietreczko who will battle for a spot in the last four. Noppert previously eliminated Joe Cullen and Mike de Decker. Pietrezcko advanced to the quarterfinals at the expense of Damon Heta and Andrew Gilding.

The tournament will be broadcast fully live in the UK on ITV and afternoon sessions start at 12:45 on Saturday and Sunday `and 6pm for evenings.

The first round will be completed on Thursday, Oct. 24, and Friday, Oct. 25. The 16 winners of the first round will compete for a spot among the final eight on Saturday, Oct. 26. The quarterfinals will be on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 27, followed by the semifinals and finals in the evening.

Compared to 2023, the prize pool has been increased by £100,000. The amount for the winner and runner-up has remained the same, so the extra money flows to the players who do not make it to the final.

All 32 participants are guaranteed a starting premium of 7,500 pounds, which is 25 percent more than last year. This amount eventually rises to a sum of 120,000 for the winner of the 2024 European Darts Championship.
