2025 Premier League Darts Lineup Announced

The 2025 Premier League Darts lineup has been announced, featuring reigning champion Luke Littler, who recently won the PDC World Darts Championship. Joining Littler are top players Luke Humphries, Michael Van Gerwen, and Rob Cross, along with Stephen Bunting, Chris Dobey, Nathan Aspinall, and Gerwyn Price, while former champions Michael Smith and Peter Wright have been left out. The tournament kicks off on February 6 in Belfast and spans 16 weeks, culminating in the playoffs in London on May 29, with a total prize fund of £1 million. Littler, at just 17 years old, is seen as the favorite to retain his title after an impressive rise in the sport, climbing from 164th to second in the PDC Order of Merit. The competition format will see players earn points through weekly matches, with £10,000 awarded to weekly winners and a substantial payout for the overall champion. PDC officials noted the exclusion of several notable players, emphasizing the depth and competition in the current field.
