The 2024 PDC World Cup of Darts, known as the BetVictor World Cup of Darts for sponsorship reasons,[1] will be the fourteenth edition of the PDC World Cup of Darts. It will take place from 27 to 30 June 2024 at the Eissporthalle in Frankfurt, Germany.

Wales (Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton) are the defending champions, after defeating Scotland (Peter Wright and Gary Anderson) 10–2 in the 2023 final.

Format

There will be 40 teams. The top four teams are seeded to the second round, with the other 36 competing in a group stage of twelve groups of three, with one qualifying from each group.[2]

In the new format all rounds consist of a doubles match, removing singles matches, which had been a part of World Cups in previous years, entirely.

Group stage: Best of seven legs.
Second round, quarter and semi-finals: Best of fifteen legs.
Final: Best of nineteen legs

Prize money

Total prize money is £450,000, with the winners getting £80,000.[2]

Teams and seedings

The top four nations based on combined Order of Merit rankings are seeded to the second round,[3] while the next twelve nations are seeded in the group stage.

As in 2023, a qualifier was held to determine the Latin American representative, which was won again by Guyana.[4] For the first time, an Asian qualifier was held. However, five Asian teams were given automatic spots, with three more spots available in the qualifier. Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia came through the qualifier.[5] Taiwan will make their World Cup debut, while Malaysia return for the first time since 2014.[6]

Ukraine will not return after debuting in 2023, while Norway return for the first time since 2016.[7]
