PREMIER LEAGUE DARTS is on the cusp of returning with 17 weeks of blockbuster action beginning NEXT MONTH. Last year saw teenage sensation Luke Littler win the competition in his maiden year. The 17-year-old will compete in the Premier League once again in 2025 as he looks to successfully defend the prestigious crown.

World No1 Luke Humphries and three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen are also set to feature in the star-studded eight-player field. But the remaining five spots are up for grabs with some huge names to miss out. The Premier League Darts 2025 line-up will be announced in January.
At the time of writing, a specific date has not been scheduled for the announcement to be made. That said, last year's Premier League line-up was revealed the day after the World Darts Championship concluded. However, the 2022 cast wasn't revealed until the end of The Masters at the end of January.
The top four players on the Order of Merit plus four Wildcards make up the eight-player field for the Premier League. Three stars have secured their spots in the 2025 edition of the Premier League due to their position in the Order of Merit. This means just five spots remain for this year's blockbuster £1million competition.
Here are the key names in contention:. Night 1 - The SSE Arena, Belfast - Thursday, February 6. Night 2 - OVO Hydro, Glasgow - Thursday, February 13. Night 3 - 3Arena, Dublin - Thursday, February 20. Night 4 - Westpoint Exeter - Thursday, February 27. Night 5 - The Brighton Centre - Thursday, March 6.
