Premier League Darts Final 2025: Prize money, start time, format and schedule
Premier League Darts 2025 reaches its climax on Thursday night as just four players remain ahead of the Play-Offs at The O2 in London.
Luke Littler comes in as the defending champion as he looks to retain the title he won on debut last year.
The Nuke beat Luke Humphries in the showpiece 12 months ago and Cool Hand is back for another shot at the prestigious non-ranking title this time round.
Gerwyn Price gets a shot at Littler in the semi-finals, with Nathan Aspinall taking on Humphries and the winners going on to meet in the final.
Littler is the only one of the four men to have won the tournament before, although the other three have all been to a final.
The Play-Offs night is the finale to an epic event which began on February 6 in Belfast and took in 16 weeks of action in the league phase.
Michael van Gerwen, Chris Dobey, Rob Cross and Stephen Bunting have all now fallen by the wayside and the final four will battle it out for the mammoth top prize in London.
Coverage of the Premier League Play-Offs begins at 7pm on Thursday May 29 on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports+.

Premier League lift little-known broadcasting blackout in major boost for football fans
PREMIER LEAGUE chiefs have axed a little-known broadcasting rule ahead of next season. There have been restrictions in place to stop youth-team matches being shown at the same time as senior top-flight games. 1 But that blackout has reportedly been lifted for the 2025/26 campaign. Under-21 games in the Premier League 2 can now be live streamed even if they clash with fixtures on Sky Sports or TNT Sports. Official club channels are ready to "take the lead" in showing the action. But there are rumours of a TV deal in the coming years should viewing figures be significant. The rule change is a major boost for football fans up and down the country - especially Manchester United supporters. Viewers have long complained about MUTV not showing enough youth-team fixtures live. Just 14 of 35 Under-21 games were shown last season and just eight of those were Premier League 2 clashes. Sir Jim Ratcliffe 's brutal job cuts. Premier League fans are set to deal with another year of the 3pm blackout, which prevents games being broadcast live at that time to protect attendances Though reports suggest the measure could be axed when the current TV deal expires at the end of the 2028/29 season.

Rory McIlroy's attitude concerns me ahead of U.S. Open bid, admits Paul McGinley
McIlroy is looking to claim his second Major win of the year at Oakmont having already won the Masters at Augusta in April, however he has had his fair share of struggles in recent weeks. The World No.2 was outraged that his name was leaked after failing a driver compliance test at the US PGA Championship last month, refusing to talk to the media in the aftermath, and he missed the cut at the Canadian Open last week after struggling off the tee in a second round 78. As well as that, McIlroy has admitted to suffering from a lack of motivation in the aftermath of the monumental effort it took to complete the Career Grand Slam, his Masters victory meaning he has now won all four Major titles. As a result, along with the resurgence of World No.1 and US PGA champion Scottie Scheffler, the 35-year-old has fallen down the list of favourites to win this week in Pennsylvania and, after his Tuesday media briefing, McGinley shared his concerns. 'You'd have to say it was very worrying looking at his press conference there. His eyes weren't alive. The energy was not there,' said the Irishman on Sky Sports. 'He certainly didn't have the pointy elbows the way we saw coming into the Masters. (At the Masters) he was a man on a mission, he was a man on a bounce, he was a man out to prove something. 'Get out of my way, here I come.' You could see that and feel the energy. 'You don't see it at the moment. I know from my own experience, when you win tournaments, you check out. You don't feel the same. You want to be there and you put in the energy but something inside you is just missing. 'It takes some time for that to reset and I think he's going through a period of that. He's completed a Grand Slam – it's a huge achievement. 'I'm no psychologist but it looks like the air has been sucked out of him a little since that, not just in the way he's played but in his press conferences. It's very un-Rory-like to have such low energy. This is not normal Rory. 'This is not when he's at his best in my opinion. I think he's at his best when he's p****d off or following off a big loss or something that went wrong.'

Luke Littler ready for ‘one of the best feelings' playing at World Cup
Luke Littler plans to add World Cup success with England to his growing list of achievements this weekend. The 18-year-old will team up in Frankfurt with Luke Humphries, who beat Littler in the Premier League final at the O2 Arena last month. Humphries guided England to a record-breaking fifth World Cup success with Michael Smith last year and a sixth crown is being plotted at Eissporthalle ahead of the tournament starting on Thursday. 'I've not spoke to anyone about putting the shirt on for your country, but I am sure it is one of the best feelings you'll ever have. I'm sure me and Luke are ready for it,' Littler reflected. 'Obviously Luke won it last year with Michael Smith, I'm sure he'll want to go back-to-back. For myself, I want to win it on debut just as much as Luke wants to retain it.' If Littler is to enjoy a maiden World Cup of Darts triumph, he will have to improve his recent form in Germany. The start of a hex can be charted back to September when Littler collapsed from a position of strength to lose to Peter Wright in the German Darts Championship final. Boos occurred on that occasion and Littler struggled on Night Nine of the Premier League in Berlin at the start of April before three weeks later he fell short of German Grand Prix success in Munich. Littler added: 'The only bad one last year was Hildesheim against Peter Wright. I think I was 5-2 up, lost 8-5 and obviously as soon as you're beating the home favourite, as everyone likes to call it, that is when they don't start to like you. 'I wouldn't say it's upset me but I would say I was obviously a bit angry. I wouldn't say (during) Premier League. The biggest one is Germany, but I did what Gerwyn Price always does, go on Instagram, have a bit of a moan and take it down half an hour later.' World Cup delight with England – with the holders set to start their campaign in the second round on Saturday – will help Littler forget about his past tricky experiences in Germany and may change his mind on whether darts should be entered into the Olympics. 'Yeah, there was a lot of talk last year on the Olympics and for myself, I don't have a clue,' Littler admitted. 'Would it be good? Would it be bad? I'm not really an Olympics person, so I won't sit there and watch it. 'I don't know if it would be good or bad for darts. I am not sure if it would fit in as much.'
