On Friday afternoon, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Michael Smith, Devon Petersen, Dimitri van den Bergh, among others, will perform on the main stage. This also applies to the squatter between Adrian Lewis and Simon Whitlock.

In the evening session, Michael van Gerwen and Niels Zonneveld are the only Dutchmen on the main stage. Van Gerwen takes on Darius Labanauskas in the first round. A meeting with James Wade awaits for Zonneveld.
The second job opens with a Dutch meeting between Vincent van der Voort and Derk Telnekes. Later in the evening Maik Kuivenhoven, Jermaine Wattimena, Jeffrey de Zwaan and Danny Noppert will also come into action on this track.
