The 2024 German Darts Grand Prix, known as the 2024 NEO.bet German Darts Grand Prix for sponsorship reasons, was a professional darts tournament that took place at the Kulturhalle Zenith in Munich, Germany from 30 March–1 April 2024. It was the second of thirteen European Tour events on the 2024 PDC Pro Tour. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.

Michael Smith was the defending champion after defeating Nathan Aspinall 8–5 in the 2023 final.^[1][2] However, he lost 6–4 to Josh Rock in the third round.

Luke Humphries won the German Darts Grand Prix for the second time, his sixth European Tour title in all, beating Michael van Gerwen 8–1 in the final.^[3][4]

The prize fund remained at £175,000, with £30,000 to the winner:^[5][6]

• Pre-qualified players from the Orders of Merit who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.^[7][8]

A massive overhaul in the qualification for the 2024 European Tour events was announced on 7 January.^[9]

For the first time, both the PDC Order of Merit and the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit rankings were used to determine 32 of the 48 entrants for the event. The top 16 on the PDC Order of Merit qualified, along with the highest 16 ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit (after the PDC Order of Merit players were removed). From those 32 players, the 16 highest ranked players on the PDC ProTour Order of Merit were seeded for the event. The seedings were confirmed on 6 February.^[10]

The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 14 February), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 17 February), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 16 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 10 February).

Gary Anderson withdrew through injury and was replaced by Luke Woodhouse. Stephen Bunting moved up to become the 16th seed.^[11]

The following players took part in the tournament:
