2023 European Darts Open

The prize money was increased for the first time in 4 years for all European Tours:[3]

• Seeded players who lost in the second round of the event were not credited with prize money on any Order of Merit.[4]

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 31 January 2023 automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.[5]

The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 13 February), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 10 February), the two highest ranked Germans automatically qualified, alongside two from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 10 February), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 17 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 11 February).

On 23 March, it was announced that Joe Murnan had withdrawn from the tournament for personal reasons, so using the new Reserve List system, José de Sousa (as the highest ranked non-qualifier) took his place.[6]

On 25 March, Luke Humphries withdrew from the competition due to medical reasons, which meant that Brendan Dolan received a bye to the third round.

The following players took part in the tournament:
