Of course, we've already had some tournaments in the month of January, but February is traditionally the month when the darts season really gets going.

The Premier League Darts is about to start, while the Players Championship circuit is also about to begin again. The same goes for the tournaments on the Development Tour and the Women's Series. Below is a complete overview of all PDC events and what to expect from them.
Feb. 6: Premier League Darts - Week 1
The Premier League Darts 2025 gets underway in Belfast! Eight top players begin a series of 16 nights of play, competing weekly for points and ultimately a spot in the Playoffs. Defending champion Luke Littler, world number one Luke Humphries and seven-time winner Michael van Gerwen are among the favorites to eventually stand with the trophy in their hands during the final night at the O2 Arena in London.
Feb. 9: UK Open Amateur Qualifiers 3-4
The UK Open offers a unique opportunity for amateur players to qualify for the main tournament in March through qualifying tournaments. This weekend the third and fourth qualifiers are scheduled, with players without a Tour Card fighting for their dream of playing against the PDC's best. The winners of these qualifiers will receive a ticket to the legendary UK Open weekend in Minehead. In addition, four starting spots will also be given away via ranking.

Feb. 10-11: Players Championship 1-2
The first two-part Players Championship tournament takes place in Wigan. These are major ranking tournaments where Tour Card holders compete for the top prize of 15,000 pounds, as well as valuable prize money in the qualifying races for the major tournaments.
The field of participants in a Players Championship tournament consists of 128 players. These are usually the 128 PDC Tour Card holders. If a Tour Card holder does not register or later withdraws, the highest ranked players on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit are invited to fill the vacant spots.
Playing Players Championship tournaments is the only route for players to grant themselves entry to the Players Championship Finals. At the end of the season, the 64 best players get to compete in the final tournament in Minehead.
Feb. 12: ET 1-2 Tour Card Holders Qualifiers

The European Tour is a crucial part of the PDC calendar. On this day, qualifying matches are held for the first two European Tour tournaments of the season. Players outside the top-16 of the PDC Order of Merit and cleaned Pro Tour Order of Merit will have the chance here to secure one of the ten spots.
Feb. 13: Premier League Darts - Week 2
The second round of Premier League Darts play will take place in Glasgow, Scotland. After the opening night in Belfast, the players get another chance to collect points. One bummer for Scottish fans, however, is that for the first time since 2010 there will be no Scottish player in action.
Feb. 15-16: Women's Series 1-4

The PDC Women's Series begins in Leicester with the first four tournaments of the season. This circuit offers female darters a chance to compete with the best and qualify for major events such as the World Darts Championship and the Grand Slam of Darts. Beau Greaves, Fallon Sherrock and Noa-Lynn van Leuven are the big names to keep an eye on at the start of the women's circuit.
This season, the Women's Series circuit consists of a total of 24 tournaments. The top two players of the season get to compete in the Darts World Cup, while the number one also receives an invitation to the Grand Slam of Darts. Through the Women's Series, ladies can also qualify for the Women's World Matchplay, which also includes a World Cup spot and participation in the Grand Slam of Darts.
Will Beau Greaves call the shots again at the Women's Series this season?
Feb. 17-18: Players Championship 3-4
The absolute world's top players are expected at the Autotron in Rosmalen on February 17 and 18 for the next two Players Championship tournaments. It is the very first time that Rosmalen is hosting a series of floor tournaments. Especially for Michael van Gerwen, this is good news. The three-time world champion lives barely a 15-minute drive from the playing venue.

Feb. 19: ET 3-4 Tour Card Holders Qualifiers
Rosmalen also hosts the Tour Card qualifiers for the International Darts Open and German Darts Grand Prix. Ten starting tickets are up for grabs at both qualifiers. The top 16 of the world ranking and top 16 best Pro Tour players do not have to participate in these qualifiers and already have an invitation in their pocket to participate in these Euro Tour tournaments.
Feb. 20: Premier League Darts - Week 3
We stay outside England for a while in Premier League Darts, as the third round of play will take place in the Irish capital of Dublin. The 3Arena always guarantees an atmospheric night in the Premier League. The stands with the noisy Irish fans are close to the stage, which creates energetic atmosphere when the players are on stage.
Feb. 21-23: Development Tour 1-5

The Development Tour season begins in the English city of Milton Keynes. This circuit is specifically for players aged 16 to 23 and is the springboard to the top. Players such as Michael van Gerwen, Dimitri van den Bergh, Luke Humphries, Josh Rock, Gian van Veen and Luke Littler have shown their talent on this tour before breaking through to the highest level. This weekend, the first five tournaments will be played.
The Development Tour consists of a total of 24 tournaments spread over five different weekends. For the two best players of the year, a PDC Tour Card is waiting for the next two seasons. In addition, two starting tickets for the Darts World Cup will also be handed out and, in addition, the leader of the rankings may participate in the Grand Slam of Darts.
Feb. 27: Premier League Darts 4
The traditional visit to Exeter prior to the UK Open. So again this year, the Premier League circus stops at the Westpoint Arena, one of the smaller venues in Premier League Darts. Who can boost their confidence before the next major tournament is on the schedule?

- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026

- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
- Probably i will receive a lot of backlash and hate for this reaction, but well, so be it. I am more than sick and tired of those lies of you Barry Hearn. How dare you defend yourself over the back of Fallon’s son! He has a disability and not an illness, so let me correct that for you! I know because I have the exact same disability. I have tried to reach out to Fallon in the past, and offered her to help her and her son, because I was struggling with the same problems, and I understood the boy. I wanted him to have finally someone who understood him. However she told me that she did not want my help, and I have respected Fallon’s choice. I have never asked Fallon for money. They don’t need money in that case. I only ever wanted the best for Fallon and Rory, but I have to be honest about the situation. Fallon should tell the true story and not be forced to tell lies. I don’t hate Fallon, and I don’t begrudge or envy a single penny that she gets, but this situation/case is just not fair. I hate the lies and the dishonesty and injustice. I don’t want Fallon to be hated because there is an unfair disadvantage created. Don’t proclaim your false lies over the back of Rory! I only stand for integrity and justice. I am precisely the one who always sticks up for Fallon. And you don't, you don't give a damn about them. You were never there for them, and now you only want to save your own position! You are just trying to talk your way out of your own bad behavior at the expense of someone with a disability. And to Fallon, I don’t know if this may ever reach you, and you read it, but I want you to know I love you and I love your son Rory very much, I am sorry how things developed and went. I hope you and Harriet are still friends. I am sorry if I were too persistent to you, or you experienced it that way, but it was never my intention. Please understand I have autism as well. As Barry Hearn would say, I am only just a human being too, and I also make mistakes and misjudge things sometimes. I promise you I did everything out of the deepest love and care for you and Rory. If I were you, I should just keep all the money, only please never be dishonest or tell lies anymore for Barry Hearn, or anyone else. I hope you have the best life, and I wish nothing more than the best for you. I have always loved the two of you. Farewell.Hiddo05-11-2026
- She is a professional. If darts is her income, she is a professional. Same as Adrian Lewis, Martin Adams. A tour card just means someone can play on the PDC tour. You could even make a case that Clayton wasn't a professional (until recently I believe) because he had employment elsewhere.BandB04-11-2026
