The PDC Qualifying Schools provide any darts player aged 16 and above the opportunity to win a two-year PDC Tour Card to compete alongside the sport’s biggest stars on the professional circuit.
Qualifying School will see players competing at venues in the UK and Germany simultaneously across the three-day First Stage and four-day Final Stage from January 6-12 2025. UK Qualifying School will take place at Milton Keynes’ Marshall Arena, with Wunderland Kalkar in Germany playing host to European Qualifying School.
First Stage will be held across three days, with the eight quarter-finalists from each day qualifying automatically for the Final Stage, while the remaining places in the Final Stage - up to a total of 128 at each venue – are decided from an Order of Merit.
Players who lose their Tour Card at the end of 2024 are exempt through to the Final Stage in either the UK or European Qualifying School (NOTE: Entry is still required)
They will be joined at Final Stage by players in the top 16 from the respective 2024 Winmau Challenge Tour and Development Tour Orders of Merit who do not already have Tour Cards for 2025, who receive free entry.
