How does Premier League Darts work?

Premier League Darts is essentially the Champions League of darts, where the biggest names in the sport battle it out to take on the ultimate title.

The competition takes place every Thursday night over 17 matches from February to May.

Over the first 16 weeks, all players compete every night in an eight-person knockout bracket, meaning each player will face off against everyone twice. The player that wins the final that night receives five points, the runner-up gets three and the semi-finalists win two. At the end of the 16 weeks the top four players with the most points will progress to the play-offs.

In the play-offs, the first placed player will face the fourth in a semi-final, while the second and third play each other. Then, the winner of each semi-final will go head to head to claim the prize.
