2025 World Series of Darts

The 2025 World Series of Darts was a series of televised darts tournaments organised by the Professional Darts Corporation. Seven World Series events were held followed by one finals event, which like every year since 2021 took place in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

One new venue made its debut, with the Spark Arena in Auckland replacing the Globox Arena in Hamilton as the host venue for the New Zealand Masters.[1]

Prize money

The total prize fund for each of the seven World Series events increased from £60,000 the previous year to £100,000.[2] The total prize fund for the 2025 World Series of Darts Finals was unchanged after it was increased the previous year.[3][4] The prize fund breakdowns are shown below:
