The 2020 Ladbrokes UK Open was a darts tournament staged by the Professional Darts Corporation. It was the eighteenth year of the tournament where players compete in a single elimination tournament to be crowned champion. The tournament was held for the seventh time at the Butlin's Resort in Minehead, England, between 6–8 March 2020, and has the nickname, "the FA Cup of darts" as a random draw is staged after each round following the conclusion of the third round until the final.

Contents

Nathan Aspinall was the defending champion after defeating Rob Cross 11–5 in the 2019 final. [1] However, he lost 10–8 to Michael van Gerwen in the fourth round.

Michael van Gerwen won the UK Open for the third time, and the first time since 2016 after beating Gerwyn Price 11–9 in the final. It was Van Gerwen's first title since he won the 2019 Players Championship Finals, where he beat the same opponent, by the same scoreline, at the same venue.

It was the first edition of the UK Open to have more than one nine-darter hit. Jonny Clayton hit a nine-darter on Stage Two during his sixth-round match with Chris Dobey, before Michael van Gerwen did the same against Daryl Gurney in the semi-finals.

Prize money

The prize fund remained at £450,000.
