Qualification and format[]

The top 16 players from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 13 May automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.[2] The remaining 32 places went to players from three qualifying events - 20 from the UK Qualifier (held in Coventry on 20 May),[3] eight from the European Qualifier on 1 June[4] and four from the Host Nation Qualifier on 28 July.

On 27 July 2016, Phil Taylor withdrew from the tournament, moving seeds 14-16 up a place, and promoting Alan Norris to 16 seed, which also meant a 5th Host Nation Qualifier would also qualify for the tournament.

The following players will take part in the tournament:
