German Darts Championship. Among others,
Michael van Gerwen,
Michael Smith and
Peter Wright will attempt to qualify for the final day of the Euro Tour tournament in Hildesheim on Saturday night.
Van Gerwen will take on
Steve Lennon in the second round. 'Mighty Mike' is the only Dutchman in action on Saturday night. A number of other big names will take to the stage in the Halle39. The evening session gets underway with a duel between
Joe Cullen and
Arron Monk, before

Gabriel Clemens. Then it's time for one of the night's crackers between
Nathan Aspinall and
James Wade.
German fans will also get to see a German encounter between
Martin Schindler and
Ricardo Pietreczko. Peter Wright will cross swords with
Chris Dobey, while
Luke Humphries will face

Where can I watch the German Darts Championship live?
In the UK, the European Tour will be shown on PDCTV as usual, with DAZN and Viaplay in other territories also having the coverage. Sessions start at 12pm and 5pm respectively on all three days.
How much prize money is to be won?
During each Euro Tour tournament, £175,000 in prize money is distributed. All qualifiers are guaranteed £1,250, while the top-16 players on the German Darts Championship's placement list will receive £2,500 anyway. However, these 16 players must win their first game in the second round for the prize money to actually count toward the world rankings and other rankings.
Per victory, the prize money earned increases. For example, the finalists already receive a minimum of £12,000. The winner of the tournament goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
