Qualification

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no events were held on the World Series of Darts between the 2019 and 2020 finals.[3] Instead of the standard rules of the top 8 players on the World Series Order of Merit being seeded, the PDC invited eight top players to make up the seeds. Twelve more players were invited unseeded, with the final four players being determined by a qualifier for Tour Card holders held on September 11 at Halle 39, Hildesheim, Germany.[1]

Kyle Anderson was originally invited, but withdrew due to personal reasons. Glen Durrant replaced him.[4]

The following players qualified for the tournament:[1]
