The 2017 European Darts Trophy is the twelfth of twelve European Tour events on the 2017 PDC Pro Tour. The tournament will take place at Lokhalle Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany, between 22-24 September. It will feature a field of 48 players and £135,000 in prize money, with £25,000 going to the winner.

Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion after defeating Mensur Suljović 6–5 in the final of the 2016 tournament.

This is how the prize money is divided:

The top 16 entrants from the PDC ProTour Order of Merit on 21 September automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.

The remaining 32 places went to players from five qualifying events - 18 from the UK Qualifier (held in Dublin on 28 September), eight from the West/South European Qualifier (held on 21 September), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 12 October), one from the Nordic & Baltic Qualifier (held on 12 August) and one from the East European Qualifier (held on 27 August).
