* (25) 25 qualifiers from 2023 Q-School not ranked in the top 64 of the PDC Order of Merit following the World Championship.
	+ NOTE: On 10 January, Corey Cadby had his Tour Card revoked, after not playing any event in the previous 12 months, meaning his card was made available at Q-School.

* (8) The daily winners from the 2024 Q-Schools.

Afterwards, the playing field will be complemented by the highest qualified players from the Q-School Order of Merit until the maximum number of 128 Pro Tour Card players has been reached. In 2024, that means that a total of 23 additional players will qualify this way.

### Q-School

The PDC Pro Tour Qualifying School (or Q-School) was split into a UK and European Q-School. Players that are not from Europe can choose which Q-School they want to compete in.

Q-School was split into two stages; with all players who lost their Tour Cards after the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship and the players who finished from second to fourth in the 2023 Challenge Tour and Development Tour Orders of Merit exempted to the final stage. The first stage consisted a block of three days, with the last eight players on each day qualifying into the final stage. A ranking of other players will also be produced with players qualifying via that ranking to produce a full list of 128 players for each final stage.

Stage One took place between 8–10 January; with the Final Stage held between 11–14 January. The winner of each day's play in the Final Stage were given a PDC Tour Card.

The UK Q-School was held at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, England; with the European Q-School held at Wunderland Kalkar, Kalkar, Germany.

An Order of Merit was created for each Q-School. For every win after the Last 64, the players will be awarded 1 point.

To complete the field of 128 Tour Card Holders, places were allocated down the final Q-School Order of Merits in proportion to the number of participants, with 10 cards going to the UK Q-School and 13 going to the European Q-School.
