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 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.
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.
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.
