Premier League Darts is back for a new season on Thursday, live on Your Site, with Newcastle hosting the opening night of the 2026 schedule.
Eight of the world's best dart players go head-to-head over 17 nights of action, with tournaments held every Thursday from February 5 to May 28 at venues across the UK and Europe.
World champion Luke Littler and defending Premier League champion Luke Humphries headline the eight-player line-up, with world youth champion Gian van Veen and fellow Dutchman Michael van Gerwen the other automatic qualifiers.
Welsh duo Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton also feature, with Stephen Bunting - bottom in last year's Premier League - and debutant Josh Rock the other wildcard selections to complete the line-up.
Each Premier League night - since 2022 - has become a mini tournament where the eight players compete in four quarter-finals, with the winners progressing to the semi-finals and then a nightly final.
The opening night sees Littler take on Van Veen - in a repeat of the World Darts Championship final, with Clayton or Rock awaiting the winner, while Humphries plays fellow former world champion Price and Van Gerwen goes up against Bunting.
Quarter-Finals (in match order, best of 11 legs):
Josh Rock vs Jonny Clayton
Luke Littler vs Gian van Veen
Luke Humphries vs Gerwyn Price
Stephen Bunting vs Michael van Gerwen
Week one in Newcastle is taking place at Utilita Arena.
The venue has previously known as the Newcastle Arena, Telewest Arena and the Metro Radio Arena, with a maximum capacity of around 11,000.
It was first used as a Premier League venue in 2007 and has been part of the calendar every year since, except for the Covid-affected 2020 and 2021 editions.
Night one action will begin on Thursday at 7pm on Your Site+ (Sky channel 404) with coverage also live on Your Site Main Event.
