The 2025 ProSieben Celebrity Darts World Championship is gearing up for another electrifying installment this January, merging the world of darts with celebrity appeal. Scheduled for January 5, 2025, at 20:15, the event promises to deliver not only impressive darts but also plenty of entertainment—all taking place at the Maritim Hotel Düsseldorf.
This marks the seventh edition of the ProSieben Promi-Darts-WM, where familiar faces from the world of sports, entertainment, and television team up with professional dart players to vie for the prestigious title. It's not just another darts competition; it's where precision meets showbiz, and fans can expect high-stakes excitement as celebrities throw darts alongside seasoned pros.
This year's lineup of celebrity participants includes notable names such as Wolff-Christoph Fuss, Germany's top football commentator; Vanessa Mai, the Schlager superstar; and Axel Stein, renowned actor and comedian. They will be joined by Patrick Owomoyela, ex-BVB legend, and reality star Evelyn Burdecki, alongside comedian Simon Gosejohann. On the professional side, darting legends like three-time champion Michael van Gerwen will compete, alongside previous champions like the 2024 winner Luke Humphries and rising star Luke Littler.
Viewers are set to witness teams executing the classic '501' scoring system, where each duo starts with 501 points and must collaborate to be the first to reach zero points. This means not only skillful throws are required, but also seamless teamwork to achieve victory. "Jedes Team beginnt mit 501 Punkten und versucht, diese Zahl durch gezielte Würfe möglichst schnell auf Null zu bringen,” says the competition's rule highlight, emphasizing the strategic aspect of this format.
Fans will be able to catch the event live on ProSieben and through the free streaming service Joyn, making it accessible to everyone who wants to enjoy the spectacle. The event promises to deliver significant entertainment value with its combination of sportsmanship and celebrity glamour. The broadcast will start timely at 20:15, promising to engage audiences just after the PDC World Championship final, setting the stage perfectly for fans of both darts and celebrity culture.
Adding to the excitement, this year's event will again be moderated by Christian Düren, who promises to deliver engaging commentary, alongside the expert analysis from Elmar Paulke, known as the voice of darts in Germany. Their presence is sure to heighten the suspense and fun for viewers as teams battle it out for the championship title.
Last year, it was Eko Fresh, the rapper, with his pro partner Ricardo Pietreczko, who claimed the title, demonstrating the unique blend of entertainment and sportsmanship at the Promi-Darts-WM. They triumphed over formidable teams, showcasing not only raw talent but also the charisma these celebrities bring to the game. Fans are now left wondering: who will take home the prestigious title this year? "Wer wird Darts-Weltmeister 2025?" is the burning question on everyone’s lips.
The format ensures some great matchups; teams will first compete within two groups before transitioning to knockout rounds, where only the best will advance to the finals. This unique blend of competitive darts and engaging celebrity antics makes every throw count, with the hopes of both teams resting on their ability to collaborate effectively under pressure on the big stage.
With history on their side, dart fans will eagerly be tuning in as historic champions, including the formidable Michael van Gerwen, look to prove their prowess alongside their celebrity partners. Being two days after the professional championship guarantees high stakes and intense concentration as the stars of different worlds collide for sports glory.
So mark your calendars, prepare your snacks, and settle down, because the 2025 ProSieben Promi-Darts-WM is not just another event—it's where celebrity shows meet darting prowess and where entertainment takes aim!
