The European Darts Trophy will take place between Friday, March 21 and Sunday, March 23.

SunSport can reveal why Luke Littler is not playing this tournament.
Why is Luke Littler not playing in the European Darts Trophy?
While Littler has not stated his exact reason for pulling out, it has been confirmed he will not appear at the European Darts Trophy 2025.
Action from Lokhalle, Gottingen in Germany is set to take place between Friday, March 21 and Sunday, March 23.
One potential reason for Littler pulling out could be his recent displays, going far in many competitions.
He won the UK Open and the Belgian Open, as well as making it to the final of Premier League Darts three weeks in a row, winning two of those.
The teenage sensation has had a hectic – and brilliant – start to 2025 and is probably taking a well-earned rest.
