European Championship News

The 2025 European Darts Championship takes place in Dortmund, and you can find the latest news, results and live stream information here.

The £600,000 ranked major features the top 32 players from the European Order of Merit, which is comprised from the prize money earned solely from the 14 European Tour events held over the course of the year.

This year’s European Championship will take place from October 23-26 at the Westfalenhalle – the fourth consecutive staging at this venue.

Players are drawn in a fixed bracket according to their seeded position, with the top qualifier playing the 32nd, the second playing the 31st and so forth.

With 2024 champion Ritchie Edhouse having failed to qualify, this year’s European Championship will be the first not to feature a defending champion.

Nathan Aspinall, who clinched his third European Tour title of the season at the German Darts Championship last week, is the number one seed.

Luke Littler, winner of four major titles this year, is the fourth seed and will launch his quest for a maiden European Championship title.

World number one Luke Humphries is also bidding to get his hands on this trophy for the first time, as are 2019 finalist Gerwyn Price, multiple World Series event winner Stephen Bunting and World Cup of Darts winner Josh Rock.

Former champions include Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright, James Wade, Rob Cross and Ross Smith.

Niko Springer, Wessel Nijman and Cameron Menzies will make their debuts in this year’s competition.
