- The draw features Luke Littler against Simon Whitlock, Luke Humphries against James Wade, Michael van Gerwen against Wessel Nijman, and top seed Stephen Bunting against Danny Noppert.
- The first two rounds are best-of-11 legs, a Pro Tour-length format that allows less margin for error and has historically produced more upsets.
- The prize fund totals £400,000 with £80,000 to the winner in a high-profile PDC event that does not carry ranking points.
- UK viewers can watch live on ITV4 with a free stream on ITVX, while the latest odds make Littler the 15-8 favourite ahead of Humphries at 5-1 and Gerwyn Price at 15-2 after his PC26 win and PC27 runner-up finish.
