After an incredible PDC World Championship, attention turns to Premier League Darts as the world’s best slog it out for one of the most prestigious prizes in the sport.
The tournament has received a radical makeover for 2022 as each night will instead be contested as individual events before the play-offs, while the number of players has been reduced from 10 to eight. A league night will comprise quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final over the best of 11 legs.
NEW TO PADDY POWER?
How will the league table work then? Well, the winner on each night will bag five points, the runner-up will earn three and the semi-finalists will take home two. After 16 nights, the top four will progress to the play-offs.
Premier League Darts 2022 is set to take in nights across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands for the best part of four months before the big finale in Newcastle at the end of May. You’ll find everything you need to know about Premier League Darts 2022 including the dates in full and prize money below.
