The Winmau World Youth Championship will then see its early rounds staged in October before the final takes place at November's Players Championship Finals in Minehead.

The top two non-qualified players from the final PDC Women's Series Order of Merit will also qualify to compete in the 2024/25 World Darts Championship, with the top-ranked player also assured of a Grand Slam of Darts spot.
