The World Grand Prix will commence at Leicester’s Mattioli Arena on September 28, broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Uniquely, competitors must begin and end every leg on a double or the bullseye.

The 32-player field comprises the top 16 competitors from the PDC Werner Rankings Ladder alongside the top 16 ProTour Ranking players who have yet to qualify, all vying for double-start supremacy.

Defending champion Luke Littler will lead the field in Leicester, where the sport’s elite will compete for a newly increased £150,000 top prize and the prestigious title.

2023 champion Luke Humphries will also be seeking a second World Grand Prix title, while Dutch number one Gian van Veen returns to the venue where he shattered a record average last year in a defeat to Littler.
