How Does Premier League Darts Work?
Eight of the world's best players compete at a different venue every week in a tournament format, featuring four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and a final, to crown a different winner each night.
The performance of the players in these weekly tournaments translates to points. They receive two points for a semi-final finish, three points if they are the runner-up and five points for winning a final.
These points create a league table and at the end of the 16-weeks, the top four players in the Premier League Darts standings go through to the play-offs. A knockout format, with two semi-finals and a final, will decide who wins the 2025 Premier League Darts.

Other Premier League Darts Betting Markets
There are a range of outright betting markets available for the 2025 Premier League Darts.
Littler is a 4/71.57 shot in the To Reach The Final market, with Humphries at 1/12.00 if you fancy a repeat of the 2024 final.
Van Gerwen lost to Littler in the final of the 2025 World Darts Championship and is 8/52.60 to reach the final of the Premier League for a record-increasing 10th occasion.
With Littler and Humphries in the mix, it's no surprise that the favourite in the Winning Nationality market is English at 1/71.14. Dutch is the second favourite at 5/16.00, with Welsh priced at 14/115.00.
Littler won the league stage last season with 40 points and is the favourite to do so again in the To Top The League market at 4/51.80. Humphries is 9/43.25 and Van Gerwen at 13/27.50.
In the Top 4 Finish market, Littler at 1/71.14, Humphries at 3/101.30 and Van Gerwen at 8/151.53 are all considered certainties to make the play-off spots. The oddsmakers think that Gerwyn Price and Stephen Bunting are the main contenders for the fourth position at 11/102.11 apiece, with Chris Dobey at 7/42.75, Rob Cross at 15/82.88 and Nathan Aspinall at 11/53.20.
If you're looking to bet on failure rather than success, you can also wager on a player To Not Qualify for the Semi Finals. Aspinall leads the betting at 3/101.30, ahead of Cross at 4/111.36.
Aspinall is also the 6/42.50 favourite To Finish Bottom. Cross is 5/23.50, with Dobey at 13/53.60.
Premier League Darts Tips
Finally, here's some Premier League Darts betting strategy tips to help you to enjoy a profitable season.
Asp Has Premier League Bite
Aspinall is the favourite to finish bottom of the Premier League Darts 2025 at 3/101.30, despite having a strong record in this tournament. A beaten finalist on his Premier League debut in 2020 after finishing third, he was third again in 2021 and finished fifth in both of the last two years.
The Asp struggled with an elbow injury last season, but his consistent, scrappy style has proven to be suited to this format. If we rule out Aspinall from finishing bottom, then consider Cross at 5/23.50 who finished ninth in 2021, Dobey at 13/53.60 - seventh in 2023 - or Price at 9/110.00 who was second from bottom last year.

Bunting Wins Popularity Contest
Bunting had a great 2024 and he's started this year in brilliant form. He's also developed into the most popular PDC player amongst darts fans, who have warmed to his electric walk ons, humble personality and big scoring.
With the "let's go Bunting mental" chant set to reach new heights in huge arenas, the Liverpudlian won't be lacking for support. The 11/102.11 for Bunting to finish in the top four could provide value.

Little Value in Littler
One player who it might be hard to find any value for is the defending champion Littler. His odds are predictably short to hang onto his crown and rightly so.
Yet Littler has lost to Price at the Bahrain Masters and Bunting at the Dutch Masters this year. It would be natural if the 18-year-old suffered a bit of a hangover after his World Championship win. That was the case for Humphries last year, but he eventually recovered and finished not far behind Littler in second place, before losing to him in the final.
There could be more value with backing Cool Hand a 11/43.75, rather than The Nuke at 6/52.20.
