The 2025 IDF Super Series Finals was a professional darts tournament that was held from 18 to 20 April 2025 at the Utilita Arena Sheffield in Sheffield, England. Organised by the International Darts Federation (IDF), it was the inaugural edition of the IDF Super Series Finals and formed part of the 2025 IDF major invitational calendar.
The tournament featured 32 players who qualified through the 2025 IDF Super Series standings, the IDF Order of Merit, regional tour rankings and selected invitational places. Matches were played in a legs format, with match lengths increasing from best of 11 legs in the first round to best of 21 legs in the final.
Logan White won the tournament, defeating Mason Owens 11–8 in the final. It was White's first televised IDF title of the 2025 season and one of the key results in his rise toward the top of the IDF Order of Merit. White also recorded the highest checkout of the tournament, finishing 167 in his semi-final victory over Max Mad.
Alex Brow, who entered the tournament as the reigning world champion, reached the quarter-finals before losing to Owens. Mad reached the semi-finals, while Zion Carter also made the last four.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
The IDF Super Series Finals was introduced in 2025 as the season-ending event for the IDF Super Series, a group of short-format ranking and invitational events staged during the early part of the season. The Finals were designed to reward players who performed consistently across the Super Series while also providing a televised major event between the 2025 IDF Masters and the start of the main mid-season tour block.
Although the event was not positioned above the IDF World Darts Championship, IDF Darts Premier League, IDF World Matchplay or IDF World Grand Prix, it was promoted as a high-value televised title. Its compact three-day schedule and 32-player field made it one of the fastest-paced events of the IDF season.
Venue[edit | edit source]
The inaugural edition was staged at the Utilita Arena Sheffield, a regular venue for major indoor sporting events. The IDF selected Sheffield to expand its major event presence in northern England and to provide a larger arena setting for the conclusion of the Super Series.
Format[edit | edit source]
The tournament featured 32 players in a straight knockout bracket. All matches were played in legs. First-round matches were played as best of 11 legs, with the final played as best of 21 legs.

|---|---|
| First round | Best of 11 legs |
| Second round | Best of 13 legs |
| Quarter-finals | Best of 15 legs |

Aftermath[edit | edit source]
White's victory was one of the first major signs of his improvement during the 2025 season. Although he had already reached the final of the 2025 World Championship, the Super Series Finals gave him his first televised IDF title and established him as more than a one-tournament breakthrough player.
Owens' run to the final was also significant, as it included a quarter-final victory over Brow and a semi-final win against Carter. His performances in Sheffield helped strengthen his position in the Order of Merit and secured further invitations to major events later in the season.
