Former European Tour event winners Justin Pipe and Mervyn King will clash on the opening day of the 2020 Belgian Darts Championship on Friday.
The 2020 European Tour will begin with the series' first visit to Belgium, as Expo Hasselt hosts the £140,000 tournament from February 28-March 1.
Friday's first round in the tournament - streamed to PDCTV Subscribers worldwide as well as through bookmakers' websites - will feature five Belgian players amongst 32 competitors in action.
Two-time World Youth Champion Dimitri Van den Bergh will headline the Belgian challenge, taking on Dutch debutant Derk Telnekes in round one ahead of a possible clash with 2019 Czech Darts Open winner Jamie Hughes in the last 32.
Former European Tour winner Kim Huybrechts will be up against one Ryan Harrington, who was one of the two PDPA Associate Member Qualifiers on Thursday night, while three other places for Belgian players were won in the Host Nation Qualifier.
Pipe and King meet in a clash of two former winners on the European Tour circuit, while Steve Beaton - another former champion - takes on Hong Kong's Kai Fan Leung.
Recent Players Championship winner Ryan Searle meets debutant Darren Penhall, while Australian ace Damon Heta, last year's Brisbane Darts Masters, makes his first European Tour appearance against Michael Barnard.
Reigning World Youth Champion Luke Humphries, former BDO Champion Stephen Bunting and 2019 World Cup runner-up Steve Lennon are also in action in Friday's first round, while Andy Hamilton makes his European Tour return after winning back his PDC Tour Card last month.
The 16 seeded stars, including World Champion Peter Wright and world number one Michael van Gerwen, enter the action in Saturday's second round, with the tournament then concluding with the final stages on Sunday.
Tickets for the Belgian Darts Championship are available through PDC Europe and at Expo Hasselt.
The Belgian Darts Championship can be watched through PDCTV at video.pdc.tv as well as through a series of bookmakers' websites worldwide.
