Schedule Sunday afternoon session at 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy featuring Dave Chisnall, Peter Wright and Michael van Gerwen
PDC
The 16 remaining players continue to battle for the title at the 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy in Budapest on Sunday. Eight former major winners are still competing for the title at this European Tour tournament. Sunday afternoon starts a jam-packed final day with the eighth finals, before the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final take place in the evening.

We start the session with the defending champion in Budapest. Dave Chisnall took the title at last year's Hungarian Darts Trophy by beating Luke Humphries 8-7 in the final. ‘Chizzy’ qualified for the third round by beating Jonny Clayton 6-1. Chisnall will cross swords with Daryl Gurney, who won 6-5 against Florian Hempel in the second round.
In the quarter-finals, Peter Wright and Chisnall could face each other for the third European Tour tournament in a row. ‘Snakebite’ still has to beat Ryan Searle first, after the Scot treated Damon Heta to a whitewash earlier. Searle also had an easy start. He beat Alberto Bezjian 6-1.
Wessel Nijman is the first Dutchman to take the stage on Sunday afternoon. After his sensational 6-5 victory over Gerwyn Price, World Championship semi-finalist Scott Williams is now his opponent. Williams himself was responsible for the elimination of Chris Dobey (6-4).
We will see at least one Dutchman in the quarter-finals, as Danny Noppert and Gian van Veen face each other in the fourth match of the afternoon. Noppert won 6-4 against Nathan Aspinall in the second round, while Van Veen dealt with Keane Barry (6-4). Both Dutchmen have met three times already this year; Noppert won twice and once the win went to Van Veen.

Ross Smith eliminated Raymond van Barneveld on Saturday night at the Hungarian Darts Trophy. As a result he earned a meeting with Ricardo Pietreczko. The German himself won against another Dutchman. He triumphed 6-5 against Niels Zonneveld.
Stephen Bunting also continues his tournament against a German player. On Saturday afternoon, his opponent Cor Dekker hit a nine darter, but Bunting claimed a 6-2 victory. Now he meets Martin Schindler, who was too strong for Jim Williams (6-5).
Michael van Gerwen gets the chance to revenge against Gabriel Clemens on Sunday afternoon. Two weeks back, ‘Mighty Mike’ lost to the German at the Flanders Darts Trophy. Van Gerwen had a good start on Saturday at the Hungarian Darts Trophy by beating Martin Lukeman 6-2 thanks to an average of 104. The Dutchman also produced a nine-darter in his first match at this event. Clemens caused a big surprise by eliminating reigning world champion Luke Humphries 6-5.
In the final match of the afternoon, Rob Cross and Josh Rock will battle against each other for a place in the last eight. Cross celebrated a 6-1 win over Andrew Gilding in the second round, while Rock survived eight matchdarts against James Wade.

TV and live stream
The Hungarian Darts Trophy will be broadcast on PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Hungarian Darts Trophy consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 12:00, while the evening sessions start at 18:00.
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 denouement 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 Hungarian Darts Trophy 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 Hungarian Darts Trophy eventually goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.

I stumbled into the world of darts quite by accident back in 2013. For a Journalism School assignment, I had to produce a live sports report and as it happened, the European Tour event in Veldhoven was the only available option. That weekend, I caught the darts bug. The post-match interviews especially appealed to me, as darts players tend to be much more open and approachable than what you usually see with footballers on television.
After a few detours, I joined Dartsnieuws.com in 2017 as editor-in-chief. I don’t have much competitive experience myself, although I once entered a PDC Development Tour weekend just to experience what it’s like from a player’s perspective. I even managed to win a leg against a Tour Card holder and, quite by accident, earned £50 in prize money.
In 2022, I was also involved in the founding of the TOTO Dart Kings, a commercial darts team, where I worked as media manager for three years. Unfortunately, due to new legislation in the Netherlands, that project came to an end in 2025.
Through my work in darts, I’ve been fortunate to travel to some incredible events, from Premier League nights at Ahoy Rotterdam, to several World Championships, and even the US Darts Masters at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Beyond darts, I’m a passionate sports fan in general. You can always wake me up for a game of tennis or padel, and I love following football, tennis, padel, cycling, Formula 1, and ice skating.

- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
- Probably i will receive a lot of backlash and hate for this reaction, but well, so be it. I am more than sick and tired of those lies of you Barry Hearn. How dare you defend yourself over the back of Fallon’s son! He has a disability and not an illness, so let me correct that for you! I know because I have the exact same disability. I have tried to reach out to Fallon in the past, and offered her to help her and her son, because I was struggling with the same problems, and I understood the boy. I wanted him to have finally someone who understood him. However she told me that she did not want my help, and I have respected Fallon’s choice. I have never asked Fallon for money. They don’t need money in that case. I only ever wanted the best for Fallon and Rory, but I have to be honest about the situation. Fallon should tell the true story and not be forced to tell lies. I don’t hate Fallon, and I don’t begrudge or envy a single penny that she gets, but this situation/case is just not fair. I hate the lies and the dishonesty and injustice. I don’t want Fallon to be hated because there is an unfair disadvantage created. Don’t proclaim your false lies over the back of Rory! I only stand for integrity and justice. I am precisely the one who always sticks up for Fallon. And you don't, you don't give a damn about them. You were never there for them, and now you only want to save your own position! You are just trying to talk your way out of your own bad behavior at the expense of someone with a disability. And to Fallon, I don’t know if this may ever reach you, and you read it, but I want you to know I love you and I love your son Rory very much, I am sorry how things developed and went. I hope you and Harriet are still friends. I am sorry if I were too persistent to you, or you experienced it that way, but it was never my intention. Please understand I have autism as well. As Barry Hearn would say, I am only just a human being too, and I also make mistakes and misjudge things sometimes. I promise you I did everything out of the deepest love and care for you and Rory. If I were you, I should just keep all the money, only please never be dishonest or tell lies anymore for Barry Hearn, or anyone else. I hope you have the best life, and I wish nothing more than the best for you. I have always loved the two of you. Farewell.Hiddo05-11-2026
