The 2025 World Grand Prix will take place at Leicester’s Mattioli Arena from October 6-12, as reigning champion Mike De Decker bids to retain the double-start title.
The field of competitors has been finalised following the conclusion of this year’s European Tour event in Basel, with Raymond van Barneveld sealing his qualification in last-gasp fashion.
Van Barneveld needed to reach the quarter-finals on Swiss soil, and the Dutchman was up to the task, overcoming Australian number one Damon Heta and European Champion Ritchie Edhouse en route to reaching the last eight.
The Dutch icon subsequently overhauled two-time runner-up Dave Chisnall, who will miss out on the World Grand Prix for the first time since 2011 following a run of nine straight European Tour defeats.
The draw for the 2025 World Grand Prix - which will pit the PDC's top 16 against the 16 ProTour representatives - will be made on Monday September 29, and will be available through the PDC’s and BOYLE Sports’ social media channels.
The tournament will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK, through the PDC's worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay, and on PDCTV (excluding subscribers based in the UK, Germany, Austria & Switzerland).
