Premier League Darts 2022 fixtures confirmed as schedule disrupted by postponement
The fixtures for the majority of the 2022 Premier League Darts season have been confirmed, while the event has been extended into June.
Peter Wright and Michael Smith will meet in a repeat of January’s World Championship final on opening night in Cardiff on Thursday February 3.
Following the announcement of a radical new format for the Premier League this season, each night will now feature a mini-tournament of Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals and a final.
The season commences at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena, with the Quarter-Finals headlined by the meeting of Wright and Smith a month after their epic Ally Pally decider, which the Scot won to claim glory for the second time.
Former Premier League winners Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson also collide on opening night, while reigning champion Jonny Clayton makes his Cardiff homecoming against debutant Joe Cullen.
World number one Gerwyn Price also returns to home territory to face former Premier League champion James Wade.
The planned night in Berlin on Thursday March 24 has been rescheduled to Monday June 13 due to ongoing Covid restrictions in Germany.
This has impacted the schedule from Night Seven onwards, meaning dates and venues from that stage are now unconfirmed and Finals Night will not take place in Newcastle as originally advertised on May 26.
Quarter-Final fixtures for 14 of the 16 league phase nights are listed below in draw bracket order, with fixtures for Night Eight and Night 16 to be determined by league standings heading into each night.
All matches will be played over a best of 11 legs format, with a £10,000 bonus to each night’s winner.
Points will also be awarded from each night – with five to the winner, three to the runner-up and two to the semi-finalists – to form the league table from which the top four players will progress to the Play-Offs.
