Overview

In December 2024, the International Darts Federation announced they would be hosting multiple tournaments throughout 2025. They confirmed the biggest tournament is the IDF World Darts Championship which, at the time, had no date of when it would be hosted. The championship is the largest of all the IDF events featuring over 90 players, with the top 32 highest ranked players on the IDF Order of Merit seeded through to the second round. Players ranked 33rd to 64th on the Order of Merit, and 32 other players from various qualifiers, started in the first round.

On January 15, 2025, it was announced that the event would be held from June 17 through to June 24, 2025. They announced that the event would use the sets format instead of the legs format and would be a much longer event for the players. The IDF announced that they would donate £1,000 to charity Prostate Cancer UK for every maximum score of 180 achieved during the tournament. Additionally, they inaugurated the Ballon d'Art for the player who achieved the most maximum scores throughout the event.

Format

All matches were played as straight in, double out, requiring the players to score 501 points to win a leg, finishing on a double. The matches were played in the set format, with a minimum of three sets required to win a match. The following rules were observed:

• All sets were played to the best of five legs in the first round, and also in non-deciding sets of subsequent rounds.
• In the deciding set of all but the first round, the first player to win at least three legs and be leading by two or more won the set and the match. If the set reached a 5–5 tie without a winner, it was decided by a sudden-death leg with no throw for the bull.

Round	Best of (sets)	First to (sets)
First & Second	5	3
Third & Fourth	7	4
Quarter-finals	9	5
Semi-finals	11	6
Final	13	7

Ranking

Rankings in the IDF Order of Merit are calculated on a two-year basis. Most of the players were planning on saving their IDF Order of Merit prize money from the 2023 IDF World Darts Championship; in which if they didn't reach at least the fourth round, they would lose the money they originally gained. At the end of the tournament, the IDF Order of Merit prize money from that event was deleted from their rankings. After the tournament, the top 64 in the IDF Order of Merit received a one-year extension on their tour card. The players in the final year of their tour card who finished the tournament outside the top 64 lost their tour card, unless players inside the top 64 resigned their tour card.

Prize money

The total prize pool for the tournament will be £2.5 million in total.

Position (no. of players)		Prize money (Total: £2,500,000)
Winner	(1)	£500,000
Runner-up	(1)	£200,000

Qualification

Seeding

The world number two Alex Brow will be number two seed going into the tournament.

Seeding for the tournament was conducted in a different format compared with the 2023 and 2024 editions. In February 2025, it was announced that the field would expand to 96 players, with 32 seeded players receiving byes into the second round. Reigning world champion Max Mad was named the top seed, having won both the 2023 and 2024 IDF World Darts Championships as well as the 2023 World Matchplay, results that elevated him to world number one on the IDF Order of Merit. Alex Brow was seeded second; although he had not won a major title, consistent success in non-major tournaments during 2023 and 2024 allowed him to accumulate sufficient prize money to reach world number two.

The reigning world champion Max Mad was the number one seed after winning the back-to-back. He is the current world number one. The number two seed is Alex Brow, who narrowly lost to Lukas Parker in the Home Masters final. He also had an impressive 2025, claiming victory at the Australian Open and consistently challenging Mad's supremacy. His status as world number two underscores his determination to dethrone Parker. Meanwhile, Parker secures the third seed after showcasing his exceptional talent in the IDF Premiere League, establishing himself as one of the most promising players of the year.

Blake Carter holds the fourth seed following his remarkable performance on the IDF Australian Tour, where he dominated every event, losing only 5% of his games. His consistency and precision have marked him as a formidable competitor. Ryan Thomas, Nate Parker, Mason Owens, and Aiden Brooks complete the top eight seeds, each bringing their own strategic prowess and competitive edge to the championship.

Pro Tour qualification

Unlike the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), the IDF provides additional qualification routes through non-major events on the Pro Tour and Players Championship circuits. On the Pro Tour, players qualify automatically by either winning three events or reaching the quarter-finals on five occasions. In the Players Championships, qualification requires accumulating 150 points before a set deadline, with points awarded for each round. The system prevents players from securing the total solely through a handful of appearances, instead requiring consistent participation and strong results. Although Alex Brow won only Pro Tour events, he was listed on the main IDF Order of Merit, which made Oscar Peterson the highest-ranked non-seed on the 2025 Pro Tour Order of Merit. Peterson was one of four Pro Tour event winners to qualify for the World Championship, alongside Patrick Richards, Reed Scott, and Spencer Taylor. Two players who reached finals of IDF majors in 2025 also qualified via the Pro Tour: Tanner Vaughn at the IDF European Championship and Uriah Walker at the Grand Slam of Darts. Their consistent form across the season ensured their places at the 2025 IDF World Darts Championship.

Other players qualifying via the 2025 Pro Tour included event winners from 2024, such as Vince Young, Wesley Adams, Xavier Baker, and Zion Carter, as well as 2025 UK Open semi-finalist and 2025 Pro Tour event runner-up Andy Dawson. Brady Evans, a 2024 World Championship semi-finalist and 2023 Pro Tour event winner, also qualified alongside Chase Foster, the 2025 Challenge Tour Order of Merit winner and a Pro Tour event runner-up in both the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Derek Greene, a 2025 Pro Tour event runner-up, qualified via both the 2025 Pro Tour and the IDF Nordic and Baltic circuit but was drawn as a Pro Tour qualifier. Other players qualifying via their Pro Tour ranking included Elliott Harris and Frank James, each showing remarkable consistency and resilience throughout the competitive season. Wesley Adams and James Hurrell are set to make their IDF World Darts Championship debuts, adding an extra layer of excitement to the tournament lineup.

International qualifiers

Gage Kelly, Harrison Lewis, Isaiah Mitchell, Jonah Nelson, and Kade Owens qualified through the IDF Youth Tour, showcasing exceptional talent and consistency throughout the series. Micah Quinn, Nathan Reeves, and Oliver Sanders earned their spots through the IDF Development Tour, marking their emergence as rising stars in the sport. Reece Hargrove, Sam Kendrick, and Tyler Montague secured qualification from the IDF Challenge Tour, demonstrating their competitive edge and determination.

Zachary Clayton and Ashton Barrett qualified through the IDF North American Tour, while Brandon Lawson and Curtis Monroe earned their places via the IDF European Tour, representing a growing international presence in the competition. Dominic Steele and Ethan Langley made their way through the IDF UK Tour, with Felix Thornton and Gavin Calloway advancing from the IDF Oceanic Tour.

Hayden Sharpe and Jason Beaumont claimed qualification spots through the IDF Latin American Tour, while Kieran Doyle and Lewis Aldridge emerged from the IDF African Tour. Max Chambers and Nick Hawthorne progressed through the IDF Asian Tour, showcasing the expanding global reach of darts.

Oscar Milton, Patrick Lane, Quentin Marsh, Riley Chapman, and Sebastian West earned their positions via the IDF International Qualifiers, highlighting the worldwide appeal of the championship.
