It’s time for the 2025 Belgian Darts Open, which kicks off on Friday 7th March. So what is the exact Belgian Darts Open prize money for this year’s event and how lucrative a purse are the players competing for?

Belgian Darts Open Winner Will Earn £30,000 In Prize Money

The 2025 Belgian Darts Open is here, as all of the best players in the world battle it out for darting supremacy in the first European Tour event of the year this weekend in Belgium.

Last year we saw Luke Littler defeat Rob Cross 8-7 in an epic final. ‘The Nuke’ even hit a nine-dart finish in the final against ‘Voltage’, and will be hoping for more of the same this year as he aims to go back-to-back in Wieze.

It comes as absolutely no surprise to see that the best UK betting sites have listed Littler as the overriding favourite to win his second successive Belgian Darts Open. Time will tell if he does or not, but you certainly wouldn’t put it past him.

Over the course of the tournament there is £175,000 up for grabs in Belgian Darts Open prize money that is broken down as per the table below.

As previously mentioned, the best betting apps in the UK have listed Luke Littler as the outright favourite, with world number one Luke Humphries second favourite in the latest odds. The likes of Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen are also amongst the most fancied players in Wieze this weekend.

Below we have gone through the 2025 Ladbrokes UK Open prize money, where to watch the tournament and how it will be structured.

Who Is The 2025 Belgian Darts Open Favourite?

According to the best cash-out betting sites, Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler (5/2) is the player the rest of the field have to beat, as he has been installed as the 2025 Belgian Darts Open pre-tournament favourite.

Behind Littler is Luke Humphries, who is of course the reigning world number one on the PDC Order of Merit. ‘Coolhand’ is the 9/2 second favourite this year, as he looks to claim victory in Belgium for the first time.

The 2020 Belgian Darts Open winner Gerwyn Price (9/1) is third in the betting market, with 2023 winner Michael van Gerwen (10/1) next in line. Rob Cross, Stephen Bunting, Chris Dobey, Gary Anderson and Jonny Clayton some of the other names amongst the favourites.

It comes as no surprise to see Luke Littler the most favoured to go on to lift the coveted trophy for a second successive year, but could any of his counterparts stop him?

When Does The Belgian Darts Open Start?

Round 1 of the Lecot Belgian Darts Open 2025 gets underway on Friday 7th March, with the Final just two days later on Sunday 9th March.

The tournament runs right through the three days with non-stop games, with the matches coming thick and fast in both the afternoon and evening for three days straight.

With the tournament spanning over just three days, it means the the eventual winner can win £30,000 for just three days of work. More than likely just two days work unless one of the non-seeded Top 16 players upsets the odds and goes on to be victorious.

Fingers crossed for some 170 checkouts or perhaps even a nine-darter this week in Wieze!
