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.
The 2025 Premier League Darts remained an eight-person knockout bracket every night, with each of the seven matches played as the first to six legs. The players were 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 received 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 contested 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 format introduced in 2022 continued, which would encompass eight players, each playing against each other in a knockout tournament each night. The winner of each night received an additional £10,000 towards their prize money. Those who make it out of the last 8 each receive 2 points, the runner-up received 3 points and the winner received 5.
The top 4 players on the PDC Order of Merit automatically qualified. The remaining 4 were announced on 6 January 2025.
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.
The top four players after 16 nights will advance to the play-offs.
