The 2025 Premier League Darts, also known as the BetMGM Premier League Darts for sponsorship reasons, is an upcoming darts tournament, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation – the twenty-first edition of the tournament. The event will begin on Thursday 6 February 2025, at the SSE Arena in Belfast, and will conclude with the play-offs, at The O₂ Arena in London on Thursday 29 May 2025.

Luke Littler is the defending champion after defeating Luke Humphries 11–7 in the 2024 final.

Format

The 2025 Premier League Darts will use the same format that was introduced for the 2022 edition. It remains an eight-person knockout bracket every night, with each of the seven matches played as the first to six legs. The players are guaranteed to meet each other once in the quarter-finals throughout the first seven weeks, and once in the quarter-finals in weeks 9–15, with weeks 8 and 16 being drawn based on the league standings at that point. Players will receive two points per semi-final finish, three points per runner-up finish, and five points per final win.

Following the league phase, the top four players in the table will contest the two knockout semi-finals with 1st playing 4th and 2nd playing 3rd.
