The 2025 Premier League Darts, also known as the BetMGM Premier League Darts for sponsorship reasons, is an upcoming a 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 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.
