How much does the winner of the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship get  with the total prize pot a whopping £2.5m… As Luke Littler is favourite to take home top prize ahead of former champion Michael van Gerwen

The PDC World Darts Championship final is tonight and this year’s winner will pocket a massive six figure payout.

Teenage sensation and last year’s runner-up Luke Littler will face off against former three-time champion Michael van Gerwen in what is set to be a blockbuster showdown.

Littler, 17, has had a whirlwind of a year, first bursting onto the scene at last year’s competition where he made it all the way to the final, only to be denied his fairytale ending by current world number one Luke Humphries. 

His impressive run last year earned him a staggering £200,000 cheque but this year he will be hoping to do one better and take home the top prize. The only thing standing in his way is the Dutch veteran who will be looking to equal the largest payout of his career.

Here is how much the winner of the 2025 World Darts Championship will earn, as well as the full breakdown of the £2.5million prize fund.
