The 2020 Unibet European Championship was the thirteenth edition of the Professional Darts Corporation's European Championship tournament, which saw the top players from the four European tour events compete against each other. The tournament took place from 29 October–1 November 2020 at the König Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, in front of smaller, masked, socially distanced crowds, having been moved from its original venue of the Westfalenhallen in Dortmund.[1]
Rob Cross was the defending champion after defeating Gerwyn Price 11–6 in the 2019 final. However, he was beaten 6–3 by Martijn Kleermaker in the first round, as was top seed Joe Cullen in another upset, who lost to William O'Connor by the same scoreline.
Peter Wright won the tournament for the first time with an 11–4 win over James Wade in the final.[2]
José de Sousa hit a nine-darter in his first-round match with Jeffrey de Zwaan, which he won 6–3.[3]
