The 2020 European Darts Grand Prix was the third PDC European Tour event on the 2020 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament took place at the Glaspalast, Sindelfingen, Germany from 16–18 October 2020. It featured a field of 48 players and £140,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.

Ian White was the defending champion, after defeating Peter Wright 8–7 in the 2019 final. However, he lost 7–6 to José de Sousa in the semi-finals.

De Sousa won his first European Tour title after beating Michael van Gerwen 8–4 in the final.

The tournament was postponed from its original date of 20–22 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.^[1]

Prize money

This is how the prize money is divided, with the prize money being unchanged from the 2019 European Tour:^[2]

• Seeded players who lose in the second round and Host Nation invitees who lose in the first round do not receive this prize money on any Orders of Merit.

Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 4 February automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.^[3]

The remaining 32 places went to players from four qualifying events and to two invitees – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 14 February), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 15 October), two from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 15 October), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 12 October 2019), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 8 February).

The two highest ranked German players on the ProTour Order of Merit as of the 14 February cut-off date also qualified.

Seeded players Peter Wright & Adrian Lewis; and unseeded players Ryan Joyce & Darren Webster all withdrew prior to the draw. The highest ranked qualifiers José de Sousa & Vincent van der Voort became seeds, and the number of places available from the Host Nation Qualifier increased from two to six.^[4]
