After some intense all-round action across Europe during this season's PDC Pro Tour, 32 of the best European darts players are set to compete at the 2025 European Championship, beginning Thursday, October 23.
Nathan Aspinall comes in as the top seed after an impressive European campaign that saw him win the European Darts Trophy, European Darts Open, and German Darts Championship.
He will look to go all the way through and claim his first European Championship; however, Aspinall will be competing against a stacked field that includes World No. 1 Luke Humphries, defending world champion Luke Littler, and four-time European Championship winner Michael van Gerwen.
Ritchie Edhouse won last year's European Championship after a dominant 11-3 win in the final against Jermaine Wattimena, however, he failed to qualify for this year's event.
