In the upcoming 2025 season, darts fans can look forward to a jam-packed schedule with over 130 days of PDC ranked events, making it the biggest year on the professional circuit. In addition to the ranked events, there will also be secondary tours and qualifying events to keep players busy throughout the year.
One of the exciting changes for the 2025 season is the expansion of the PDC European Tour to 14 events. The German city of Göttingen will be returning as a host for one of the three-day tournaments, joining the 13 other venues from the 2024 season. This expansion promises to bring more high-quality darts action to fans across Europe.
Furthermore, there will be an additional four one-day Players Championships held next year, bringing the total number of events for players on the PDC ProTour to 34. This provides ample opportunity for players to compete and earn ranking points on the professional circuit.
Another significant development is the expansion of The Masters, which will now feature 32 players and become a ranked event. The tournament will be held over four days in Milton Keynes from January 30 to February 2, adding to the excitement of the darts calendar.
The darts season kicks off with the PDC Qualifying School from January 6 to 12, with events taking place simultaneously in Milton Keynes and Kalkar. Following this, the Premier League and Players Championship seasons will commence in February, culminating with the UK Open at Butlin’s Minehead Resort from February 28 to March 2.
March will see the start of the European Tour in Wieze, Belgium, with the first eight events scheduled over a three-month period. Exciting international events such as the World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt from June 12 to 15 and the World Matchplay in Blackpool from July 19 to 27 are set to thrill fans around the world.
The European Tour will conclude in the autumn with visits to Belgium, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland, and Germany, leading up to the European Championship in Dortmund from October 23 to 26. Amsterdam will once again host the World Series of Darts Finals from September 12 to 14, with dates for the global World Series events to be confirmed later.
Overall, the 2025 season promises to be a thrilling and action-packed year for darts fans, with a record number of events and opportunities for players to showcase their skills on the professional circuit. Get ready for an unforgettable year of darts!
