The 2024 Betfred World Matchplay was the 31st annual staging of the World Matchplay, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. The tournament took place at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, from 13 to 21 July 2024.
Nathan Aspinall was the defending champion, having defeated Jonny Clayton 18–6 in the 2023 final,[1][2] but he was eliminated in the second round, losing 11–8 to James Wade.
Luke Humphries won his first World Matchplay title, beating Michael van Gerwen 18–15 in the final.[3] He became the fourth player to win the World Darts Championship and the World Matchplay in the same year after Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright and only the second player after Phil Taylor to average more than 100 in all five matches on the way to the title.[4]
