The field for the 2020 Ladbrokes Players Championship Finals is confirmed.

The event will take place between Friday 27-Sunday 29 November at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry. The event has moved from the now traditional home of Butlin’s Minehead due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Michael van Gerwen will start the defence of his title against Darius Labanauskas. Peter Wright will face Ryan Meikle, with the World Champion being the number one seed and Meikle being the number 64 seed. Meikle, who famously beat The Ferret Jonny Clayton 6-0 in round one last year, replaces Jeff Smith. The Silencer has withdrawn from the event.
