  • Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen and Luke Humphries will vie for the 2025 Premier League Darts title after the eight-man field was announced on Monday.

The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) is considering these factors, with a decision expected soon that could shape the future of the sport.
