# 2020 Belgian Darts Championship

The 2020 Belgian Darts Championship was the first of four PDC European Tour events on the 2020 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Expo Hasselt, Hasselt, Belgium, from 28 February–1 March 2020. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.
This was the first PDC European Tour event to take place in Belgium.
Gerwyn Price won his third European Tour title with an 8–3 win over Michael Smith in the final.

## Prize money

This is how the prize money is divided, with the prize money being unchanged from the 2019 European Tour:
| Stage (num. of players) | Stage (num. of players) | Prize money |
| Winner | (1) | £25,000 |
| Runner-up | (1) | £10,000 |
| Semi-finalists | (2) | £6,500 |
| Quarter-finalists | (4) | £5,000 |
| Third round losers | (8) | £3,000 |
| Second round losers | (16) | £2,000* |
| First round losers | (16) | £1,000* |
| Total | £140,000 | £140,000 |
* Seeded players who lose in the second round and Host Nation invitees who lose in the first round do not receive this prize money on any Orders of Merit.

## Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 4 February will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.
The remaining 32 places will go to players from four qualifying events and to two invitees – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 14 February), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 27 February), three from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 27 February) and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 7 February).
The two highest ranked Belgian players on the cut-off date will also qualify.
From 2020, all Tour Card holders will enter into one qualifier instead of two separate ones for the UK and Europe. For this tournament, there is no Nordic & Baltic qualifier due to the event being a late addition to the calendar. The place will be taken by an extra Host Nation qualifier.
The following players will take part in the tournament:
