The 2025 Home Masters Darts Championship marks the inaugural edition of the tournament. The competition is structured across six sessions, culminating in an action-packed final day on January 6.

The event's planning began in August 2024, led by [[Freddie Goodwin]], who explored various tournament formats to ensure an engaging experience. Initially intended to follow the Sets format, the decision was made in December 2024 to switch to the Legs format, allowing the event to conclude within a few days rather than spanning several weeks. This adjustment aimed to streamline the competition while maintaining its excitement and accessibility.

This tournament marks the first step in establishing the ADC Order of Merit, with the results laying the foundation for future rankings and competitive opportunities.

=== Prize money ===
