The tournament took place at the SACHSENarena, Riesa, Germany from 14–16 September 2018.

Gerwyn Price won his first European Tour title by beating Simon Whitlock 8–3 in the final.

This tournament was also the first in European Tour history in which none of the top 4 seeds reached the quarter-finals.

This is how the prize money is divided: Prize money will count towards the PDC Order of Merit, the ProTour Order of Merit and the European Tour Order of Merit, with one exception: should a seeded player lose in the second round (last 32), their prize money will not count towards any Orders of Merit, although they still receive the full prize money payment.

[1][2] The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 30 August will automatically qualify for the event and will be seeded in the second round.
