Belgian Darts Open 2024: Schedule, dates and how to watch with Luke Littler & Michael van Gerwen set to take to oche

THE Belgian Darts Open has been nothing short of phenomenal - and Michael van Gerwen is eyeing back-to-back wins at the tournament.

Last year, the Dutchman beat Luke Humphries 8-6 in an epic final to claim the title in Wieze.

And Van Gerwen is the hot favourite to take home the trophy again in 2024.

Teenage sensation Luke Littler will make his European tournament debut in Wieze after qualifying via the European Tour Card Qualifier in Wigan earlier this year.

The Belgian Darts Open will have a huge £175,000 prize pot this year, with the winner going home £30k richer.
