The 2025 Premier League of Darts, sponsored by BetMGM is a tournament featuring 8 of the worlds best darts players facing off week in and out across stages around the UK and Europe organised by the Professional Darts Corporation.
The tournament kicks off on February 6th at the SSE Arena in Belfast and runs every Thursday night for 17 weeks, culminating in Finals Night on May 29th at the O2 Arena in London.
This will be the 21st edition of the tournament and adopts the format that was first introduced in the 2022 edition. Initially, there will be 16 nights consisting of a knockout tournament each night between the 8 participants. All 4 Quarter Finals, 2 Semi Finals and 1 Final will be played in a first to 6 legs contest.
Throughout the first 7 weeks the players are assured to meet once in the Quarter Finals and once in the Quarter Finals between weeks 9-15. The weeks 8 and 16 differ as the draw for those nights are based on the league positions at that point in time.
Players receive points for wins, contributing to an overall league table. 2 points are awarded per Quarter Final win, 1 per Semi Final win and the Final winner meaning the overall night winner will receive a big 5 points on the league table.
The top 4 players on the table after Week 16 will progress through to Finals Night on Week 17. Here, the knockout semi finals will be played in a first to 10 legs contest with 1st playing 4th in the table and 2nd playing 3rd. The winners then contest the headline Final on the same night in a race to 11 legs format to decide who picks up the 2025 BetMGM Premier League Darts trophy.
