The 2023 Dutch Darts Championship was a professional darts tournament that took place at the WTC Expo in Leeuwarden, Netherlands from 28 to 30 April 2023. It was the sixth of thirteen European Tour events on the 2023 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 Danny Noppert 8–7 in the 2022 final,[1] but he lost 6–4 to Peter Wright in the third round.
Dave Chisnall won his second European Tour title of the year, and as with the first one, he defeated Luke Humphries 8–5 in the final.[2]
This was the first time in European Tour history that all the top four seeds made the semi-finals.
The prize money was increased for the first time in 4 years for all European Tours:[3]
