About 24,000 people are expected to head to the city’s sports venue, which has hosted the Grand Slam since 2018, when it moved from its former home at the city’s civic centre.
As is tradition with darts competitions, many wear fancy dress, and people dressed as a traffic cone or in Where’s Wally stripes are a regular feature in the crowd.
Josh Phillips, head of media at PDC, credited the television coverage with helping to put Wolverhampton “in front of an international audience”.
He said: “The city has been central to the tournament’s identity, with the passion of the local crowd matched by fans travelling from across the UK and overseas.”
The competition also offered the chance to “showcase established stars” and catch a glimpse of those who could become “the next big names”, Phillips added.
