Luke Humphries arrives as the defending champion and is bidding to become the first man to defend his title since Gary Anderson back in 2016.

‘Cool Hand Luke’ has enjoyed a remarkable 12 months, winning three titles and sitting comfortably at the top of the world rankings. However, he’ll expect a stern challenge in London as there’s an impressive field that includes a host of former world champions and rising superstars.

Perhaps the biggest threat is 17-year-old Luke Littler who since losing in the 2024 final has won the Premier League, World Series and Grand Slam trophies. Other contenders include three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen, second seed Michael Smith and serial winner Rob Cross.

Outside of the top seeds there is a wealth of talent with plenty of players possessing the ability to score heavy and produce big checkouts. These include rising Belgian star Mike De Decker, Scottish ace Anderson, Wessel Nijman of the Netherlands and Welsh star Gerwyn Price.
