The pro-am tournament is part of the midweek series of events. The Hyde Park Darts Championship, featuring the sport’s top players, will be played out on BST Hyde Park’s famous Great Oak Stage.

The Hyde Park Darts Championship tickets also include access to The Summer Garden simultaneously hosting BREW//LDN, renowned for the UK’s largest and most diverse craft drinks festival, celebrating innovation and excellence across the worlds of craft beer, cider, and spirits. As well as serving the latest drinks trends, BREW//LDN is also a cultural celebration – complete with street food, DJs, and a vibrant festival atmosphere.

But the star of the show will no doubt be new World Darts Champion, teenage sensation Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler. Littler followed up his historic run to the 2023/24 World Championship final by capturing the title in fairy-tale fashion on debut in his first year as a professional. Littler landed a nine-darter in the final – one of four perfect legs he produced in 2024 – and his haul of ten titles in the 2024/25 included the Grand Slam of Darts, World Series of Darts Finals and World Series event wins in Bahrain and Poland. The 2023 World Youth Champion, he ended his first year on the circuit full-time by claiming World Championship glory in January 2025, defeating Michael van Gerwen in the final at Alexandra Palace.

Among the sporting stars taking on Littler at Hyde Park is three-time World Champion Michael Van Gerwen. Mighty Mike’ - has established himself as one of the game’s all-time greats following a decade of darting dominance. A teenager wonderkid when he broke through to win the 2006 World Masters in the BDO, the Dutchman waited six years to pick up his next televised title at the 2012 World Grand Prix, a victory which sparked a golden run of success. Van Gerwen lifted three World Championship crowns in 2014, 2017 and 2019 during his eight-year spell as number one, amassing over 150 PDC titles in the process. The Dutchman completed the full set of televised PDC titles in October 2019 when he won the in Leicester – the first and only player to achieve this feat.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 2nd May.
