With the World Series of Dartsschedule wrapping up in New Zealand this past weekend, the qualifiers are mostly set for next month's World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam.
The usual top names will be competing in the Finals, but there are some additional names, like regional qualifiers and players who got invitations.
What players qualified for the 2025 World Series of Darts Finals?
32 players qualify for the Finals. Let's start out by looking at those who qualified as seeded players in the top 8.
Top 8 seeds
The top eight seeded players are very familiar faces, consisting of players who were mostly in every WSoD event in 2025.
- (1) Stephen Bunting
- (2) Luke Littler
- (3) Gerwyn Price
- (4) Luke Humphries
- (5) Rob Cross
- (6) Chris Dobey
- (7) Nathan Aspinall
- (8) Mike De Decker
Bunting, Littler, Humphries, Price and Cross were among those who won at least one title this year on the WSoD tour.
Deep runs from Aspinall and De Decker helped them accumulate enough prize money to be seeded players at the Finals.

14 non-seeded qualifiers
The next players to qualify for the finals consist mostly of 14 players who participated in events in 2025 for the WSoD, but weren't high enough to be seeded.
- Damon Heta (Australia)
- Michael van Gerwen (Netherlands)
- Josh Rock (Northern Ireland)
- Peter Wright (Scotland)
- Jonny Clayton (Wales)
- Raymond van Barneveld (Netherlands)
- Kevin Doets (Netherlands)
- Jermaine Wattimena (Netherlands)
- Danny Lauby (United States)
- Jason Brandon (United States)
- Krzysztof Ratajski (Poland)
- Haupai Puha (New Zealand)
- Simon Whitlock (Australia)
- Jonny Tata (New Zealand)
There are some very strong names on this list of qualifiers, as several can compete with the list of eight qualifiers in any potential matchup.
Even though Michael van Gerwen is out of form, he's a five-time WSoD Finals champion who won't be fazed by the fact that he's unseeded.
Josh Rock would have had a good chance to be seeded if he had competed in more events outside of just Australia and New Zealand, and he is fresh off a World Matchplay semifinal round appearance.
Damon Heta and Jonny Clayton are two top-10 players on the Main OoM, so they can pose as a threat to any players they play early on in the tournament.

Werner rankings ladder qualifiers
Four additional players were chosen to compete next month and were given invitations based on their standing on the Werner rankings.
- James Wade (England)
- Dave Chisnall (England)
- Ross Smith (England)
- Danny Noppert (Netherlands)
Wade was a recent finalist at the World Matchplay and will be looking for another deep run at this tournament.
Dave Chisnall is the world number 13, and with past runs at this tournament, he'll be eyeing to make the final, already having two career semifinal appearances.
Smith and Noppert finish off the last two players who qualified via this route, and currently stand as world number 14 and 15, respectively.

The last six spots are given out to tour card holders who will compete for spots through a qualifier event on Aug. 27.
