World No. 1 Luke Humphries won the Czech Darts Open in 2024, beating Kim Huybrechts 8–1 in the final. Humphries, who completed the Triple Crown earlier this year, returns to defend his crown, but he is set to face stiff competition from the man of the moment, Luke Littler.

The No. 2 is eyeing Humphries’ top spot, and winning the Czech Darts Open will take him one step closer to his goal.

Considering there are not too many dropouts, which is sometimes the case in Euro Tour events, we are going to have these athletes battling it out this weekend:

Who is the Favourite to Win 2025 Czech Darts Open?
The best of the best are set to participate in the 2025 Czech Darts Open this weekend. Luke Humphries won the event last year comfortably, but he does not head into Prague as the favourite this year.
Having won four of his last five events, Luke Littler is the red-hot favourite to continue his winning streak. He is bubbling with confidence, and it will take something special to deny him the win in Czechia.
Luke Littler is 18 years old and he’s now won 6 of the 10 PDC ‘majors’

Of course, nothing is ever guaranteed in a game of such fine margins. So, Humphries cannot be counted out of the running.
Josh Rock is another in-form athlete worth keeping an eye on. He won Players Championship 10 in April, World Cup of Darts in June, and was a finalist at Players Championship 12.
Rock also qualified for UK Open semi-finals, performed well at the World Matchplay, and climbed to a career-high 11th in the PDC Order of Merit.
