Michael van Gerwen will be the defending champion after defeating Simon Whitlock 8–3 in the final of the 2019 tournament.

The tournament was postponed from its original date of 11–13 April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.[1] The new dates were scheduled for 31 July–2 August 2020[2], but it has been postponed once again.[3]

On 29 May the tournament was officially cancelled.

Prize money

This is how the prize money is divided, with the prize money being unchanged from the 2019 European Tour[4]:

Stage (num. of players) Prize money
Winner (1) £25,000
Runner-up (1) £10,000

  • Seeded players who lose in the second round and Host Nation invitees who lose in the first round do not receive this prize money on any Orders of Merit.

Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 3 March will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.[5]

The remaining 32 places will go to players from four qualifying events and to two invitees – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 13 March), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (date TBA), two from the Host Nation Qualifier (date TBA), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 27 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 9 February).

The two highest ranked German players on the cut-off date will also qualify.

From 2020, all Tour Card holders will enter into one qualifier instead of two separate ones for the UK and Europe.
