The 2025 BetMGM Premier League Darts lineup has been announced.

Six players from 2024 will return to the event this year, with Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey returning to the annual roadshow.

It marks the first time since the 2019 event that there will be no debutant in the field.

Bunting and Dobey return as Wright and Smith miss out

The field is headlined by defending champion and recently crowned World Champion Luke Littler. Littler of course won the title with a nine dart leg in the final, just the second player to do so after Phil Taylor.

Alongside The Nuke, last year’s runner up and world number one Luke Humphries is back for a second consecutive year, as well as seven time Premier League champion Michael van Gerwen.

Rob Cross qualifies as a result of him being ranked in the top four of the PDC Order of Merit.

2025 World Championship semi finalists Stephen Bunting and Chris Dobey return to the tournament. For Bunting, his return comes 10 years after playing in the 2015 event and comes off the back of a 2024 campaign that saw him win the Masters.

Dobey’s wait hasn’t been quite so long as he played in the 2023 edition.

Rounding out the field are two previous Premier League runners up in Nathan Aspinall and Gerwyn Price, who return for their fifth and seventh appearances respectively.

The event gets underway in Belfast on Thursday 6 February, visiting a further 15 arenas across the UK, Ireland and Europe. It culminates with the Play-Offs at The O2 in London on Thursday 29 May, with the players playing for more than £1m in prize money.
