Highlights: What You Need to Know
Here’s a little more about the key events on the PDC darts calendar that pro darts players will take part in between now and the end of the year.
World Series of Darts Finals (12–14 September, Amsterdam)
The World Series of Darts brings big-name pros to global, often exotic venues. The Finals in Amsterdam wrap up the tour, offering a football-style grand finale that features only the best performers across international events.
This tournament frequently delivers some of the most exciting, high-stakes matches of the year.
Grand Slam of Darts (8–16 November, Wolverhampton)
Unique in its combined inclusion of PDC and invited BDO players, the Grand Slam mixes tournament formats with group stages followed by knockout rounds.
Its quirky blend of players, established stars and lesser-known qualifiers, often results in surprises that keep the darting world talking.
PDC World Darts Championship (11 Dec – 3 Jan, London)
The year truly culminates at Ally Pally. The PDC World Championship begins in mid-December and stretches through New Year’s Day, featuring expanded fields and blockbuster stakes.
While technically beginning in 2025 and ending in 2026, it’s traditionally considered the grand closing chapter of the year’s PDC darts calendar, making it a must-watch for anyone marking 2025’s darts journey.

Why the PDC Darts Calendar Matters
The PDC darts calendar is more than just a list of dates — it shapes the entire competitive season and determines which players rise, fall, and cement their legacies. For fans, it’s the roadmap to months of world-class darts action. For players, it’s the battleground on which rankings and careers are made or broken.
Unlike many sports, darts’ professional calendar is relentless. From January through to December, there is barely a week where PDC action isn’t taking place somewhere in the world. Events span the UK, Europe, Asia, and beyond, making the PDC truly a global organisation.
How the PDC Ranking System Works
Understanding the calendar is much easier when you understand how PDC rankings work. The PDC uses two main ranking lists:
- PDC Order of Merit: Based on prize money won from ranking events over a rolling two-year period. This is the main ranking list that determines seedings for major tournaments and Tour Card status.
- PDC ProTour Order of Merit: Based on prize money from Players Championship events only, used to determine qualifiers for the Players Championship Finals.
This means performing well across multiple events throughout the calendar year is essential — one big result won’t carry a player all the way. Consistency across the full calendar is what separates the elite from the merely good.
Key Tournament Formats
- Majors: The biggest prize money events — World Championship, Premier League, World Matchplay, Grand Slam of Darts, European Championship, UK Open, and World Grand Prix.
- Players Championships: Smaller events held throughout the year, open to all Tour Card holders. These form the backbone of the professional calendar.
- European Tour: A series of events held across Europe, providing ranking points and prize money.
- World Series of Darts: International events held outside Europe — in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Asia, and beyond.
How to Watch PDC Darts in the UK
In the UK, PDC darts is primarily broadcast on Sky Sports Darts. Premier League nights, major finals, and the World Championship are all shown live. For those without Sky, PDC.tv offers a streaming subscription service covering a wide range of events including Players Championships and European Tour events. DAZN also broadcasts certain PDC events in some markets.
