Starting in February 2025, several prominent sporting events will occur across the United Kingdom. The events include amateur & professional tennis matches, the Six Nations international rugby championship, and the Premier League Darts competition.
Here is an overview of the three major types of sports events occurring in February:
Tennis Competitions in the UK
Tennis is a popular sport in the United Kingdom. Many people like to watch and gamble on amateur and professional tennis competitions nationwide. The most popular online gambling platform for betting on tennis events is the BetMGM UK Sportsbook, but other sportsbooks are also available.
You can place bets on various outcomes, such as the overall match winner, game winner, set winner, exact winning score, number of games played per match, and player handicap. The sportsbook even allows you to place multiple custom bets on a single tennis event.
No scheduled WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) or ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) tours are planned for February in the United Kingdom. However, you can enjoy other notable tennis events on the Real Tennis Circuit and the ITF World Tennis Tour. They include the following:
The M25 Roehampton tennis tournament will be held between February 10th and 16th, 2025, at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton, London. It is associated with the ITF World Tennis Tour M25 event, allowing male players to earn ranking points for a spot in the ATP. The winner of the tournament will receive a total prize of £24,100.
Six Nations Rugby
The Six Nations Rugby Championship is one of Europe’s oldest and most popular annual international rugby union competitions. It features six national European rugby teams competing between February and March: England, Ireland, France, Scotland, Italy, and Wales.
The Six Nations Rugby Championship has scheduled the following rugby games in February:
- Saturday, February 1st – Scotland vs. Italy at Scottish Gas Murrayfield
- Saturday, February 1st – Ireland vs. England at Aviva Stadium
- Saturday, February 8th – Italy vs. Wales at Stadio Olimpico
- Saturday, February 8th – England vs. France at Allianz Stadium Twickenham
- Sunday, February 9th – Scotland vs. Ireland at Scottish Gas Murrayfield
- Saturday, February 22nd – Wales vs. Ireland at Principality Stadium
- Saturday, February 22nd – England vs. Scotland at Allianz Stadium Twickenham
- Sunday, February 23rd – Italy vs. France at Stadio Olimpico
There are a total of 15 rugby matches in the competition. Each team plays against each other once. A team receives four points for winning a game and two points for a draw. If a team wins all its matches against the other five teams, they receive a Grand Slam that earns them another three extra points. The team with the most points in the end is the tournament winner.
Premier League Darts
Premier League Darts, also known as BetMGM Premier League, is one of the biggest international darts competitions in the world. Eight players compete at 17 venues between February 6th and May 29th, 2025. The first match will be held on Thursday, February 6th, at the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The Professional Darts Corporation holds major darts tournaments to select the best players to participate in the league based on their ranking. Once the Premier League darts tournament begins, the eight players compete in four quarter-finals each night, with the winners progressing to the evening’s semi-finals, then the evening’s final. The winner of the night will then be declared. Every match is best-of-11 legs, with league points scored for players that reach the semi-finals or higher. Eventually, the top four players in the table will advance to Finals Night in week 17.
