The 2025 World Cup of Darts is taking place June 12–15 in Frankfurt, Germany, featuring a mix of established champions and emerging talents. England’s pairing of world number one Luke Humphries and teenage sensation Luke Littler highlights the tournament’s blend of experience and youth.
Forty nations are competing, with the top four seeds receiving a bye from the group stage. The remaining 36 teams are split into groups of three, playing best-of-seven leg doubles in the early rounds before advancing to knockout stages culminating in a best-of-19 final.
Littler’s meteoric rise has captured global attention. Already a World Champion and record-holder at just 17, he now teams up with Humphries—last year’s champion alongside Michael Smith. Their synergy will be a focal point as England aims to defend its crown .
Elsewhere, Wales (Jonny Clayton & Gerwyn Price) and Scotland (Gary Anderson & Peter Wright) feature top-tier lineups. With Sky Sports and talkSPORT broadcasting live, the event promises commercial appeal and compelling matches.
As the tournament unfolds, fans will watch to see if the established stars maintain dominance or whether Littler and his youthful wrist action can usher in a new era of darts excellence.
