The World Series of Darts Finals takes place from 17 to 20 September, serving as the season-ending event for the World Series of Darts — a series of six unranked tournaments that concluded last month with a double header in Australia and New Zealand. The prize fund has increased to £450,000, up from the previous year's total of £400,000.
The winner will pocket £100,000, while the runner-up is set for £60,000. Semi-finalists claim £30,000, quarter-finalists earn £17,500, second-round losers take home £10,000, and first-round losers receive £5,000.
The tournament features 32 players: the top 24 from the World Series rankings, the top four non-qualified players from the PDC Order of Merit, and four Tour Card holder qualifiers. Michael van Gerwen enters as defending champion, having defeated Luke Littler 11-7 in last year's final. Van Gerwen is the top seed, with Gerwyn Price as second seed and Littler third. Despite being World No. 1, Littler does not top the rankings, as seeding is based on the World Series Order of Merit, where Van Gerwen has enjoyed the most success this season.
Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen, Jonny Clayton, James Wade and Stephen Bunting are among those also involved, along with Nathan Aspinall, Josh Rock and Damon Heta, among others in the rankings qualifiers or Tour Card qualifiers.
