World Darts Championship 2025 prize money: How much does the winner get?
Share:
The 2025 World Darts Championship is reaching its climax, with a lot of money set to be handed out to the winner at Alexandra Palace. Thursday night’s semi-finals see Michael van Gerwen take on Chris Dobey and Luke Littler face Stephen Bunting. The bookmakers expect MVG and the Nuke to come through and create a blockbuster final between the three-time champion and last year’s runner-up who is trying to go one better and become the youngest ever winner at just 17 years old.

Dobey and Bunting will have other ideas and intend to land the top prize, but all four players have already guaranteed themselves a very profitable few days in north London. The champion, crowned on 3 January, will not only lift the huge Sid Waddell Trophy, but also claim £500,000 for their efforts in becoming world champion.

The runner-up will have to settle for £200,000, just as Littler did when he was beaten by Luke Humphries in the final a year ago. The losing semi-finalists will be gutted to miss out on the showpiece, but will be comforted by winning £100,000 for their runs to the last four.

A run to the quarter-finals at Alexandra Palace earns players £50,000, while falling at the last 16 stage – as defending champion Humphries did – is worth £35,000. Reaching the last 32 earns a player £25,000 while the last 64 is worth £15,000. First round losers at Alexandra Palace pick up £7,500, which is not bad for players such as Matt Campbell and Jim Long who won just one leg in their opening round defeats.
