The draw and first round matches for the 2025 Players Championship Finals have been confirmed.

After a dramatic conclusion to the Pro Tour season in Wigan, 64 players will compete at Butlin’s Minehead Resort between Friday 21 and Sunday 23 November for the last leg play title of 2025.

Gerwyn Price ended the season as the number one on the Players Championship Order of Merit, and he will take on Max Hopp in round one, who qualified as the 64th and final seed.

Two time defending champion Luke Humphries, who qualified 58th on the Order of Merit, will be looking to be the first player to win the title three years in a row since Michael van Gerwen did it between 2015-17. He will play 7th seed Gian van Veen in a blockbuster tie.

World Champion Luke Littler, having qualified 36th on the Order of Merit, will begin his quest to better last year’s runner up performance by facing 29th seed Jeffrey De Graaf.

Seven time champion Michael van Gerwen will miss out on the Players Championship Finals though, having failed to finish in the top 64.

Other standout first round ties include:

• Martin Schindler facing former World Champion Michael Smith
• Chris Dobey up against Keane Barry
• 2018 World Champion Rob Cross playing Swiss youngster Sebastian Bialecki
• Stephen Bunting playing 2024 European Champion Ritchie Edhouse
