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.
The prize money for the 2025 edition of the tournament remains at £1 million, including a £10,000 bonus to each night's winner.
The top four players of the league stage contest in the play-offs to decide the champion of the Premier League.
Five points are awarded for a night win, three points for the runner-up and two points for the losing semi-finalists. When players are tied on points, nights won is used first as a tie-breaker and after that overall matches won.
In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the tournament will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Viaplay and DAZN will also air the tournament. The PDC's streaming service, PDCTV, will broadcast the tournament for Rest of the World subscribers.
