The ODF Premier League Darts is a darts tournament which is set to begin on 20 June 2025. The tournament will feature eight players from the Online Darts Corporation circuit competing in a knockout style format. The top four players in the PDC Order of Merit are joined by four wildcard selections to make up the eight-person field. Alongside the World Championship and the World Matchplay, it is considered part of the sport's Triple Crown.
Format
The format of the ODF Premier League is going to be best of 11 legs, and a knockout stage type of experience. There is no additional prize fund for winning, getting any nine-darters, or anything higher. No high pegs are counted unless it is above 140. The only stage of the ODF Premier League Darts to grant prize money is the Playoffs, being 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st.
After 16 weeks of play, the top four players of the standings will qualify for playoffs which will be a different format. The playoffs are much longer matches, being First to 16 and First to 18 Legs, respectively. In 2025, the prize fund for the winner is $80,000. In the 2025 season, eight players that participated in the 2025 World Championship Event will be selected to play. The selection will be made on June 3, 2025.
