Schedule UK Open 2024: program for first three rounds announced

The playing schedule for the 2024 UK Open has been announced. On Friday, March 1, the 'FA Cup of Darts' will kick off in the English coastal town of Minehead. During the first afternoon session, the first participants will start the first three rounds.

The field of participants for the UK Open has as many as 158 participants. They enter the tournament in phases. This order is based on the position of these players on the world ranking list. The higher the ranking, the later this player has to start the tournament.

This tournament is the largest television tournament of the PDC. World leaders such as world champion Luke Humphries, Michael Smith, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright, Nathan Aspinall, defending champion Andrew Gilding and teenage sensation Luke Littler will join in from the fourth round.

Gilding surprisingly won the UK Open last year. After a thrilling final, 'Goldfinger' was too strong for Van Gerwen with 11-10 and the Englishman took his first PDC major.
