The leading eight players from the year's World Series Order of Merit, following five international events, qualified by right and are seeded through to the second round on Saturday night.
The remaining 16 players compete in Friday's first round - which is set to be headlined by the clash between Michael Smith and Gerwyn Price, in a repeat of Sunday's European Championship semi-final, before the winner progresses to play World Champion Michael van Gerwen.
Wayne Jones and Jonny Clayton will play off for the right to meet reigning champion Wade, who took the title 12 months ago in Austria by edging out Smith in the final.
US Darts Masters champion Nathan Aspinall - a World Series winner in Las Vegas in July - will play Poland's Krzysztof Ratajski in another tasty first round tie, with the winner to face Daryl Gurney.
German Darts Masters finalist Gabriel Clemens will come up against Dutchman Jermaine Wattimena, with five-time World Champion Raymond van Barneveld awaiting the winner as the veteran begins his final televised event in the Netherlands ahead of retirement.
World Grand Prix finalist Dave Chisnall drew Simon Whitlock, while Mensur Suljovic will play Kyle Anderson, Ian White plays Ricky Evans and an all-Dutch tie sees Danny Noppert play Jeffrey de Zwaan.
Melbourne Darts Masters champion Damon Heta, the fifth seed, could meet former schoolmate Kyle Anderson in round two, while German Darts Masters winner Peter Wright plays Evans or White in the last 16.
Following Saturday's second round, the tournament concludes across two sessions on Sunday, with the afternoon's quarter-finals following in the decisive evening session by the semi-finals and final.
The Jack's Casino World Series of Darts Finals will be held from November 1-3 at AFAS Live in Amsterdam. Tickets are available through PDC Europe.
