The 2024 BoyleSports World Grand Prix was a darts tournament and the 27th staging of the World Grand Prix. It took place from 7–13 October 2024 at the Leicester Arena in Leicester, England.

Luke Humphries was the defending champion after defeating Gerwyn Price 5–2 in the 2023 final.[1][2] He was defeated in the final 4–6 by Mike De Decker, who won his first TV title.[3][4]

All matches were played as double in, double out; requiring the players to score 501 points to win a leg, beginning with as well as finishing on either a double or the bullseye. Matches were played to set format, with each set being the best of five legs (first to three).[5]

This is the only "double in" tournament on the PDC circuit, and along with the PDC World Darts Championship the only tournament which uses the set format.[5]

On 25 April, it was announced that the semi-finals and final had been extended to best of 9 and best of 11 sets respectively.[6]
