The 2024 BoyleSports World Grand Prix will be a darts tournament and the 27th staging of the World Grand Prix. It will be held from 7–13 October 2024 at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester, England.

Luke Humphries is the defending champion after defeating Gerwyn Price 5–2 in the 2023 final.[1]

Format

[edit]

All matches were played as double in, double out; requiring the players to score 501 points to win a leg, beginning with as well as finishing on either a double or the bullseye. Matches were played to set format, with each set being the best of five legs (first to three).[citation needed]

On 25 April, it was announced that the semi-finals and final had been extended to best of 9 and best of 11 sets respectively.[2]
