Schedule for 2020 World Cup of Darts confirmed: Top seeds England set to headline opening session against Philippines
PDCMonday, 02 November 2020 at 17:00
The World Cup of Darts is set to take place this weekend between Friday November 6 and Sunday November 8 at the Salzburgarena in Austria.
Due to a change of regulations, the World Cup will now be held behind closed doors which has meant that Singapore have had to withdraw due to the restrictions affecting Harith Lim's ability to return. This has meant a debut for Portugal headed up by Jose de Sousa.
Beginning proceedings will be a double session starting Friday afternoon with four-time winners England (Michael Smith & Rob Cross) facing Philippines duo Lourence Ilagan and Noel Malicdem headlining.
Beginning proceedings is Lithuanian duo Darius Labanauskas and Mindaugas Barauskas facing Gibraltarian debutants Justin Hewitt and Craig Galliano.
Also in action during the afternoon session include former finalists Belgium (Kim Huybrechts and Dimitri van den Bergh) as well as host nation Austria (Mensur Suljovic and Rowby-John Rodriguez).
Scotland's title defence will commence in the evening as the new look duo of John Henderson and Robert Thornton replace Peter Wright and Gary Anderson. They will face the dangerous Japanese pairing of Seigo Asada and Yuki Yamada.
Four-time champions Netherlands are also in action with Michael van Gerwen and Danny Noppert, with the latter making his debut. Also in action is a top tie between former finalists Republic of Ireland (Steve Lennon and William O'Connor) and Australia who this year will have Damon Heta pairing Simon Whitlock.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
