THE UK Open 2025 is due to be another spectacle for darts fans all around the world.
The competition is known for its unique open draw format and huge 160-player field and will take place from Friday, 28 February, to Sunday, 2 March.

With there being a total prize fund of £600,000, Luke Littler will be hoping to add to his already colossal earnings since he burst onto the scene during the 2023/24 World Darts Championship.
Since the UK Open is known for its open draw style, where well-known players face off against up-and-coming talent, many players view qualifying for the tournament as an accomplishment in and of itself.
The UK Open is a fan favourite because of this element of unpredictability.
This year marks the 23rd time the UK Open has been held. The tournament started in 2003 with a much smaller prize fund of £124,000, with the winner receiving £30,000.
Since then, the event has grown significantly in both prize money and popularity, producing a number of memorable champions and unexpected winners.
