José de Sousa was the defending champion, after defeating James Wade 16–12 in the 2020 final, but he was eliminated in the second round, losing 10–9 to Peter Wright.
Gerwyn Price won the tournament for the third time in four years, defeating Peter Wright 16–8 in the final.
Due to the dissolution of the British Darts Organisation in 2020, there was no BDO/WDF representation for the first time in the event's history.
During her 5–0 victory over Mike De Decker in the group stage, Fallon Sherrock averaged 101.55, setting a new record for the highest televised average by a woman. She then went on to become the first woman to advance to the knockout stage, where she defeated Mensur Suljović in the second round, before losing to Peter Wright in the quarterfinals.
Michael van Gerwen set a new Grand Slam record average of 115.19 during his 5–2 victory over Joe Cullen, surpassing the record set by Dimitri Van den Bergh the previous year.
