2024 World Matchplay

The 2024 Betfred World Matchplay was the 31st annual staging of the World Matchplay, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. The tournament took place at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, from 13 to 21 July 2024.

Nathan Aspinall was the defending champion, having defeated Jonny Clayton 18–6 in the 2023 final, but he was eliminated in the second round, losing 11–8 to James Wade.

Luke Humphries won his first World Matchplay title, beating Michael van Gerwen 18–15 in the final. He became the third player to win the World Championship and the World Matchplay in the same year after Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen and only the second player after Phil Taylor to average more than 100 in all five matches on the way to the title.

Dimitri Van den Bergh hit a nine-darter during his first round win against Martin Schindler.

The prize fund remained at £800,000, with £200,000 going to the winner.

All games had to be won by two clear legs, with a game being extended if necessary for a maximum of six extra legs before a tie-break leg is required. For example, in a first to 10 legs first round match, if the score reaches 12–12 then the 25th leg is the decider.

The first round was played first to 10 legs, second round first to 11 legs, quarter-finals first to 16 legs, semi-finals first to 17 legs and final first to 18 legs.

The top 16 players on the PDC Order of Merit at the cut-off point on 7 July were seeded for the tournament. The top 16 players on the ProTour Order of Merit, not to have already qualified on the cut-off date were unseeded.
