2024 Belgian Darts Open

The 2024 Belgian Darts Open, known as the 2024 Blåkläder Belgian Darts Open for sponsorship reasons, was a professional darts tournament that took place at the Oktoberhallen in Wieze, Belgium from 8–10 March 2024. It was the first of thirteen European Tour events on the 2024 PDC Pro Tour. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.

Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion, defeating Luke Humphries 8–6 in the 2023 final, but he was eliminated in the second round after a 6–4 loss to Peter Wright.

Luke Littler won the title on his European Tour debut, beating Rob Cross 8–7 in the final. Littler also hit a nine-dart finish in this match.

Prize money

The prize fund remained at £175,000, with £30,000 to the winner:

* Pre-qualified players from the Orders of Merit who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.

Qualification and format

A massive overhaul in the qualification for the 2024 European Tour events was announced on 7 January.

For the first time, both the PDC Order of Merit and the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit rankings were used to determine 32 of the 48 entrants for the event. The top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit qualified, along with the highest 16 ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit (after the PDC Order of Merit players were removed). From those 32 players, the 16 highest ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit were seeded for the event. The seedings were confirmed on 6 February.

The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 14 February), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 7 March), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 16 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 10 February).
