Glen Durrant was the two-time defending men's champion after beating Mark McGeeney, 7–6 in the previous year's final.

Durrant successfully defended his title to become the first three times consecutive BDO Men's World Champion since Eric Bristow in 1986, and the first male player in history to win his first three world championship finals.

Lisa Ashton was the two-time defending women's champion, after winning her fourth world title, with a 3–1 win over Anastasia Dobromyslova in 2018, but was defeated in the first round by Mikuru Suzuki.

Suzuki went on to become the fifth BDO Women's World Champion, after defeating Lorraine Winstanley 3–0 in the final. In doing so, she hit the highest ever average in a Women’s World Championship Final.

Three-time champion Martin Adams missed out on the event for the first time since his debut appearance in 1994.
