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.
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?

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
