Premier League Darts 2026

Eight of the world’s top players will compete in a weekly knockout format across the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany, with a total prize fund of £1.25 million on offer.

As well as the £10,000 weekly winner’s bonus, 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.

The new Premier League Darts season will commence in Newcastle on Thursday February 5, as darts’ biggest party returns to 17 venues across the UK and Europe.

The tournament will be staged on consecutive Thursday nights as the sport’s top stars – including reigning champion Luke Humphries, back-to-back World Champion Luke Littler and seven-time Premier League champion Michael van Gerwen – battle it out for the coveted title.

Gian van Veen enjoyed a sensational run to the final of the World Darts Championship, losing out to an imperious Littler on January 3, and the 23-year-old receives an automatic Premier League spot for the first time as the new world number three.

Littler is bidding to continue his remarkable spell of dominance and regain the title he won on debut two years ago, while Humphries looks to become only the third player to successfully retain this title.

World Series Finals champion Van Gerwen, the world number four, makes his 14th consecutive Premier League Darts appearance.

The night in Cardiff precedes the UK Open, which gets under way in Minehead the following day, meaning Exeter has been dropped from the schedule after hosting the Premier League since 2009.

The race to The O2 will intensify in April, with further league nights to be held in Manchester, Brighton, Rotterdam, Liverpool and Aberdeen, before the season draws to a close in May.

The final three league nights will take place in Leeds, Birmingham and Sheffield, which will be followed by the season-ending Finals on a bumper night at The O2 in London on Thursday May 28.
