The 2024 Hungarian Darts Trophy, set to take place from Friday, September 20 to Sunday, September 22 in Budapest, promises to be an exhilarating spectacle. As the 11th Euro Tour event of the season, the tournament is drawing some of the biggest names in darts for three days of fierce competition.
A Storied Tournament
Since its inception in 2021, the Hungarian Darts Trophy has quickly gained a reputation for producing memorable moments. Gerwyn Price won the inaugural title, defeating Michael Smith 8-2 in the final. A year later, Joe Cullen pulled off an upset, beating William O’Connor by the same scoreline. In 2023, Dave Chisnall added his name to the winners’ list, claiming victory over Luke Humphries.
Who to Watch
The 2024 edition boasts a star-studded lineup of 48 participants, all vying for glory in Budapest. The top-16 seeded players, including Michael van Gerwen, Dave Chisnall, Ross Smith, Luke Humphries, and Gerwyn Price, are automatically seeded into the second round. Littler, dubbed “The Nuke,” is gaining widespread attention, with some even suggesting he’s better than van Gerwen was at the same age—a sentiment Dirk van Duijvenbode shared in a recent interview.

Big Names in the Mix
Other fan favorites like Jonny Clayton, Michael Smith, Raymond van Barneveld, Peter Wright, James Wade, and Nathan Aspinall will have to navigate the first round. These darting legends have been invited based on their world rankings, adding even more drama to the early stages of the tournament.
Qualifiers Bringing the Heat
The remaining players in the field earned their spots through various qualifying tournaments. Dirk van Duijvenbode, Wessel Nijman, and Cor Dekker are among those who fought their way into the event. Dekker secured his place by winning the Nordic & Baltic region qualifier, while Sebastian Białecki earned his spot as the East European qualifier.
All Eyes on Budapest
