The Women's World Matchplay has been held in each of the past three years and on each occasion it has been staged inside the Empress Ballroom at Blackpool's Winter Gardens.
The top eight players on the Women's Order of Merit will feature at the 2025 Women's World Matchplay.
Last year's field included two-time winner beau Greaves and 'Queen of the Palace' Fallon Sherrock, whilst the likes of Lisa Ashton, Mikuru Zuzuki and Noa-Lynn van Leuven were also included.
The line-up for this year isn't expected to be much different to that of 2024.
The Women's World Matchplay is played out across a single afternoon's play, with all four quarter-finals, both semi-finals and the final being played over a leg format, as shown below:
The 2025 staging of the Women's World Matchplay will be the fourth edition of the competition with back-to-back winner Beau Greaves the most decorated player in tournament history.
Fallon Sherrock is the only other player to have reigned supreme in Blackpool, capturing the title on its inaugural staging in 2022, with a 6-3 victory over Aileen de Graaf.
The first of Greaves' two successes came in 2023 when she dropped just four legs en-route to a 6-1 demolition of Japanese number one Mikuru Suzuki, before defending her crown 12 months later with a 6-3 triumph over Sherrock.
