Premier League Darts 2026 Dates & Venues | Belgium to host historic first night
Premier League Darts will head to Belgium for the first time in 2026, with the schedule confirmed for next year’s roadshow event.
The AFAS Dome in Antwerp will host the sport’s elite on Thursday February 12 on a ground-breaking night for the prestigious invitational.
The new BetMGM Premier League season will commence in Newcastle a week earlier on Thursday February 5, as darts’ biggest party returns to 17 venues across the UK and Europe.
“We’re delighted to be able to take the BetMGM Premier League to Belgium in 2026 during what will be our widest-reaching season yet,” said PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter.
“Belgium has successfully hosted sell-out European Tour events in recent years and the sport has enjoyed huge growth there in recent years, supported by our broadcast partners VTM and inspired by the big-stage success of Dimitri Van den Bergh and Mike De Decker.
“We’re sure that the visit to the AFAS Dome will be another hugely popular event, adding an extra dimension to the Premier League following the sell-out success of the 2025 season and the thrilling finale we enjoyed in London.”
The tournament will be staged on consecutive Thursday nights from February until May, as the sport’s top stars – including reigning champion Luke Humphries, World Champion Luke Littler and seven-time Premier League champion Michael van Gerwen – battle it out for the coveted title and £1.25m in prize money.
Following the opening night in Newcastle and the event’s debut in Antwerp, February will also feature league nights in Glasgow and Belfast during an action-packed opening month, before visits to Cardiff, Nottingham, Dublin and Berlin in March.
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.
Tickets for the 2026 Premier League will go on sale during October 2025, with ticket information to be confirmed in due course.
The world’s top four ranked players are set to be joined by a further six decorated stars, with the line-up likely to be finalised after the World Championship.
The weekly knockout format, which was introduced in 2022, is also likely to be retained for a fifth straight season.
