The 2024 European Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Machineseeker European Championship), was the seventeenth edition of the Professional Darts Corporation's European Championship tournament, which saw the top players from the thirteen European tour events compete against each other. The tournament took place from 24 to 27 October 2024 at the Westfalenhallen in Dortmund, Germany.
Peter Wright was the defending champion after defeating James Wade 11–6 in the 2023 final. However, he lost to Jermaine Wattimena 6–0 in first round, becoming the sixth consecutive defending European champion to lose in the first round.
The two finalists, Ritchie Edhouse and Wattimena, were the two lowest ranked players in the field coming into the tournament (being the world number 39 and world number 40 respectively). Both were making their maiden televised semi-final and final appearances, with Luke Woodhouse, the third lowest ranked player in the field, at world number 35 also making his first TV semi-final.
Edhouse defeated Wattimena 11–3 to win his first major title. It was also his first PDC title, and with the victory, he entered the top 32 on the PDC Order of Merit for the first time in his career.
