## Teams and seedings

[edit]

The 40 nations taking part in the tournament were confirmed on 4 March with six nations to be determined by a qualifier: three from a PDC Asia Qualifier, two from a PDC Nordic & Baltic Qualifier and one from a Championship Darts Latin & Caribbean Qualifier.[3]

The Championship Darts Latin & Caribbean Qualifier was won by Argentina who will make their debut with Guyana missing out after two consecutive appearances. [4][5]

After failing to qualify in 2024, India was awarded a wild card, alongside Bahrain, China, Japan, Hong Kong and the Philippines. [3] The PDC Asia Qualifier was won by Singapore, Malaysia and Chinese Taipei, the same three nations as in 2024.[6]

The top four nations based on combined Order of Merit rankings will be seeded to the second round, while the next twelve nations will be seeded in the group stage.[2]

The top two players from nations represented by the PDC Order of Merit will be confirmed on 13 May.[3]
