Overview

  • The 17-night, Thursday series starts in Newcastle on February 5 and concludes on May 28 at London’s O2 Arena.
  • Antwerp’s AFAS Dome hosts Night Two on February 12 as Belgium joins the rota, taking the spot formerly held by Exeter.
  • The campaign spans five countries with a full night-by-night venue list across the UK and Europe.
  • The total prize fund is set at £1.25m, with tickets due to go on sale in October 2025 via pdc.tv/PLtickets.
