Wales won the tournament for the second time, defeating Scotland (Peter Wright and Gary Anderson) 10–2 in the final.[2]

The top four nations based on combined Order of Merit rankings are seeded to the second round, while the next twelve nations are seeded in the group stage.[3]

The top two players from nations represented by the PDC Order of Merit were confirmed on 29 May; the top players from nations on the PDC Asian Tour were confirmed on 1 May, and the top players from the Nordic & Baltic regions were confirmed on 5 June.[3]

The expansion sees Bahrain, Guyana,[5] Iceland and Ukraine enter for the first time, while Croatia will compete for the first time since 2013, France for the first time since 2014, India for the first time since 2015, Thailand for the first time since 2018, and China return having missed the 2022 tournament.

Following the first round draw, Michael van Gerwen withdrew due to a dental operation, and was replaced with Dirk van Duijvenbode. This resulted in Wales moving ahead of the Netherlands in the seedings.[6]

The teams and players were as follows:
