Qualification and format

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 16 March automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.

The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 18 March), two from the Associate Member Qualifier (held on 24 April), the two highest ProTour ranking Austrian players, two from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 28 April), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 18 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 6 March).

Top seed Gerwyn Price and qualifier Adrian Lewis withdrew before the start of the tournament, so Ross Smith was promoted into the seeded positions and two extra places were made available in the Host Nation Qualifier.
