2025 European Championship field and draw confirmed

The 2025 Machineseeker European Championship draw for next week has been confirmed, and top seed Nathan Aspinall will face two-time champion Rob Cross in the opening round.

After Sunday’s Elten Safety Shoes German Darts Championship, in which Aspinall won his third European Tour title of the season in Hildesheim, the 32-player field was finalized.

With Aspinall returning to Germany as the top seed, the top 32 players on the 2025 European Tour rankings will now square off for the coveted title at Dortmund’s Westfalenhalle from October 23–26.

Round One of the Machineseeker European Championship will be played over two sessions on Thursday and Friday night; the exact schedule will be announced soon.

After Round Two on Saturday, the remaining 16 players will compete in the quarterfinals on Sunday afternoon, which will be followed by the pivotal semi-finals and final on Sunday night.
