2025’s Premier League lineup

The 2025 Premier League lineup has officially been announced, with the best eight players in the world taking centre stage. Don’t worry if you aren’t familiar with all of them – there are a lot of exceptional darts players in the field! We’ll take a closer look at each of the 2025 Premier League members below.

Also known as “Cool Hand Luke”, Luke Humphries is one of the most well-respected darts players in the world. He has 18 senior Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) titles and, at the time of writing, is the World Matchplay champion and Players Championship Finals champion. He was also the runner-up in the World Grand Prix 2024, Premier League 2024 and UK Open 2024. It’s no surprise to see his name top the list of the Premier League for 2025.

Luke Littler, sometimes known as Luke “The Nuke”, has accomplished an incredible amount for someone who is just 18 years old at the time of writing. In his relatively short time in the professional darts scene, Littler threw a nine-darter in Gibraltar’s MVG Masters, won a number of WDF Youth titles, and earned a place at the 2022 WDF World Championships when he was 16. His 2024 World Championship run saw him defeating two world champions on his way to the final, where he ultimately fell to Luke Humphries.

Michael van Gerwen is a well-known name to any darts fan. He was the world’s number one ranked darts player in the PDC for seven straight years from 2014 to 2021 and won the PDC World Champion three times (2014, 2017 and 2019). In total, Van Gerwen has won 47 singles events and is a six-time World Grand Prix champion, five-time PDC Masters winner, five-time World Series Finals winner, and four-time European Champion, among many other accomplishments.

Rob Cross, also known as “Voltage”, hit the world darts scene in 2017. He had the greatest debut year in the history of the PDC, in fact, winning the 2018 World Darts Championship against Phil Taylor. His success continued in 2019 when he became the fourth player to win both the World Championship and the World Matchplay. Since then, he has been a reliable addition to the Premier League and can be counted on to deliver top performances time after time.

Stephen Bunting has been in professional darts for over a decade at this point. He has won a hefty number of titles during this time, including the BDO Lakeside World Championship and the 2024 World Masters against Michael van Gerwen. He has no intention of resting on his laurels either, with his eyes firmly on the 2025 season.

Also known as the “Iceman”, Gerwyn Price is a Welsh player with a rather long list of accomplishments in the sport. He has won a total of 37 senior PDC titles throughout his career, the vast majority of them occurring after his 2016 breakthrough when he made the top 32 on the PDC Order of Merit. Perhaps most notably, Price has won the Grand Slam three times and the World Series Finals twice. We can’t wait to see what he brings to the table this year!

Chris Dobey is relatively new to the sport. His breakthrough year was 2023, when he reached the quarter-finals of the World Championship and, weeks later, secured The Masters title against Michael Smith, the then world number one ranked player. He has been a member of the Premier League since 2023.

Nathan Aspinall, also known as “The Asp”, has been a professional darts player with the PDC since 2012, though his breakthrough didn’t come until 2019. In that year, he won the World Matchplay, UK Open and US Darts Masters. In total, he has won eight senior PDC titles. His peak rank, as of the time of writing, is number four (in 2024).
