The second and final regional auditions for Beat Luke Littler will take place at Manchester Central Convention Complex.
The ticketed event will see thousands of contestants attempt to make the final 20 - who will appear on a live show due to be broadcast on 30 October.
Members of the public will be in with a chance to win £501,000 - a reference to the 501 points that players work down from in darts as they aim for a score of zero.
Anybody aged 12 and over can apply for the series, but anyone under 18 attending open auditions must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Luke 'The Nuke' Littler shot to fame in 2024 when, aged 16, he reached the final of the PDC World Darts Championship.
He later won the Premier League and Grand Slam of Darts and became the youngest world champion in history by winning the 2025 world title at the age of 17.
The audition process starts with participants trying to complete a leg of 501 in 24 darts or less.
The show's judging panel includes 16 time world champion Phil "The Power" Taylor, PDC pro Laura Turner and sports promoter Barry Hearn.
Littler announced the event in a video message in July, saying: "Reckon you could beat me in a game of darts? Let's go."
