It is a Dutch feel to open up. Gian van Veen kicks off the evening session with a meeting against James Wade. Niels Zonneveld next makes his appearance against Dave Chisnall, the number one seed at the Czech Darts Open.

Raymond van Barneveld will appear on stage in the third match of the evening. 'Barney' was originally scheduled to take on Gerwyn Price, but he suddenly withdrew on Saturday for this event. In all haste Maik Kuivenhoven was called up to travel to the Czech Republic. It is also an important match for Kuivenhoven, who is almost certain to participate in the World Darts Championship if he wins against Van Barneveld.

Stephen Bunting takes on Jonny Clayton later in the evening, while Luke Littler takes on Nathan Aspinall. Van Gerwen enters the fifth match of the evening session against Krzysztof Ratajski. Luke Humphries faces off with Ritchie Edhouse, while the evening concludes with a duel between Martin Schindler and Peter Wright.

TV and live stream

The Czech Darts Open will be broadcast on Viaplay and PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, this event consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 12 p.m., while the evening sessions start at 6 p.m.

The first round will take place on Friday. The 16 Order of Merit qualifiers and the winners from the various qualifying tournaments then make their appearance. The top-16 seeded players enter the tournament on Saturday in the second round. Sunday will see the conclusion of the tournament, starting with the third round in the afternoon session. Sunday evening will be followed by the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.

Distribution of prize money

At this Euro Tour tournament, a total of £175,000 in prize money will be divided among the 48 participants. They will receive at least 1250 pounds in starting money. The top-16 seeded players who enter the Czech Darts Open from the second round will receive 2,500 pounds anyway.

They do - like the 16 Order of Merit qualifiers starting in the first round - have to win their first match in order for the prize money to count toward the world rankings and the other rankings. The winner of the Czech Darts Open will ultimately go home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
