2024 World Cup of Darts Draw and Schedule
Germany will begin their pursuit for the 2024 BetVictor World Cup of Darts against New Zealand on Thursday night in Frankfurt, while former champions Australia will face Japan.
The 2024 World Cup of Darts will take place at Frankfurt’s Eissporthalle from June 27 to 30, with 40 teams competing for the coveted title and a share of the £450,000 prize fund.
The revised format, which was successfully debuted last year, will return in 2024, with group and knockout stages including Doubles matches spread across four days of action.
The top four nations, based on the lowest cumulative PDC Order of Merit rating of the two participating players, are seeded and will advance to the second round stage.
Reigning champions. Wales’ championship defence will begin in the last 16, facing four-time champions England and the Netherlands, as well as two-time winners Scotland.
The remaining 36 nations have been divided into 12 groups of three for the round-robin phase, including 12 seeded nations, with the group winner advancing.
Martin Schindler and Gabriel Clemens will spearhead Germany’s title challenge at home, where they will meet 2019 quarterfinalists New Zealand and 2013 semifinalists Finland in Group C.
Damon Heta and Simon Whitlock led Australia to World Cup triumph in 2022, and their relationship will continue in 2024, when they top Group D against 2019 semi-finalists Japan and Hong Kong.
Dimitri Van den Bergh, the UK Open champion, and Kim Huybrechts, the 2013 World Cup finalist, will return to represent Belgium, which is seeded fifth and will face Singapore and Philippines in Group A.
Josh Rock will make his World Cup of Darts debut alongside Brendan Dolan for sixth-seeded Northern Ireland, which will face South Africa and Switzerland in Group B.
Former finalists. In Group E, the Republic of Ireland will face Lithuania and Chinese Taipei, while Rowby-John Rodriguez and Mensur Suljovic will represent 2021 runners-up Austria against China and Guyana.
Krzysztof Ratajski and Radek Szaganski will represent Poland in Group G, where they will face Norway and Hungary for a place in the knockout stages.
Group H consists of the Czech Republic, Bahrain, and Iceland, while Croatia leads Group I, which includes Malaysia and three-time quarter-finalists Canada, led by freshly crowned North American champion Matt Campbell.
Jacques Labre and Thibault Tricole led France to the quarterfinals a year ago, and they will continue their alliance in Group J, which also includes Latvia and tournament favourites Denmark.
Sweden, Spain, and Gibraltar will compete in Group K, while the United States, Portugal, and Italy round out Group L.
The losing nations from Thursday’s initial matches will face the third team from each group in Friday’s afternoon session, before the decisive group games on Friday evening.
