Littler Leads Stellar Line-up in 2025 Premier League Darts; Bunting Makes Triumphant Return

Premier League Darts 2025: A New Era Begins

As the 2025 Premier League Darts approaches, all eyes are on Luke Littler, the reigning world champion, who has shattered records at just 17 years old. His recent victory over the legendary Michael van Gerwen in the World Championship final marks him as a formidable competitor entering this prestigious tournament.

Littler, who dazzled fans with a stunning nine-dart finish against Luke Humphries to claim the Premier League title last year, aims to defend his crown against a fierce line-up filled with both veterans and rising stars. The anticipation is palpable as fans look forward to his continued display of talent in the upcoming season.

A Special Return for Bunting

Adding to the excitement is the return of Stephen Bunting, who has made a remarkable comeback after a ten-year hiatus from the Premier League arena. Ranked number five in the world, Bunting's recent performance, which included a semi-final clash against Littler in the World Championship, showcases his formidable skills and competitive spirit.

Bunting's selection as one of the four wildcard entrants highlights the respect he commands within the darting community, having not participated since 2015. His long-awaited re-entry promises to thrill fans and elevate the competition to new heights.

Wildcard Selections Ignite Competition

The 2025 edition also sees a line-up filled with diversity and rivalry. Alongside Littler and Bunting, top names like Gerwyn Price, Nathan Aspinall, and Chris Dobey are set to ignite the stage. The two automatic qualifiers, Rob Cross and Michael van Gerwen, are seasoned veterans seeking further glory, making this season one to watch.

PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter emphasized the importance of entertainment and engagement, stating, "We want people on the edge of their seats. Each player is selected based on their ability to captivate an audience and create an exhilarating atmosphere as darts fans gather in venues across the UK and Europe."
