darts tournament
The 2025 Belgian Darts Open, known as the 2025 Lecot Belgian Darts Open for sponsorship reasons, was a professional darts tournament that took place at the Oktoberhallen in Wieze, Belgium from 7 to 9 March 2025. It was the first of fourteen PDC European Tour events on the 2025 PDC Pro Tour. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.
Luke Littler was the defending champion after defeating Rob Cross 8–7 in the 2024 final.
Littler retained the title by defeating Belgium's Mike De Decker 8–5 in the final.
Prize money
The prize fund remained at £175,000, with £30,000 to the winner:
Pre-qualified players from the Orders of Merit who lose in their first match of the event shall not be credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualifies as a qualifier, but later becomes a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players shall be credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progress in the event.
Qualification and format
In a change from the previous year, the top 16 on the two-year main PDC Order of Merit ranking were now seeded and entered the tournament in the second round, while the 16 qualifiers from the one-year PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit ranking entered in the first round. The seedings were confirmed on 7 February.
The remaining 16 places went to players from four qualifying events – 10 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 12 February), four from the Host Nation Qualifier (held on 6 March), one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier (held on 14 February), and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier (held on 1 February).

Why this record matters
“2025 Belgian Darts Open” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Belgian, Darts and darts provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131859494. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025 and 2024.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
