Premier League Darts 2025 line-up: When will the eight stars be announced and who is in contention?

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.

When will the Premier League Darts 2025 line-up be announced?

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 2023 cast wasn’t revealed until after The Masters at the end of January.
