The participants at the Austrian Darts Open 2023
The field of participants for the largest darts tournament in Austria extends to a total of 48 players.

As of March 7, 2023, the Welshman is not in the top 16 of the PDC Pro Tour Order and was unable to assert himself in the qualification.
With Martin Schindler, currently Germany’s best darts player, and Ricardo Pietreczko, there are two players for Germany. Rowby-John Rodriguez and Mensur Suljovic take the two places for the highest-ranked Austrian players and thus have a home game.
There are also two players who have asserted themselves through the Host Nation Qualifier.
