Premier League Darts is a darts tournament which launched on 20 January 2005. Now played weekly from February to May, the event originally started as a fortnightly fixture in small venues around the United Kingdom. The tournament originally featured seven players, gradually expanded to ten by 2013, before reduced again from 2022 to eight players from the Professional Darts Corporation circuit competing in a knockout style format, with nights also hosted in Europe at different venues.
The top four players in the PDC Order of Merit are joined by four wildcard selections to make up the eight-person field in Premier League Darts. Alongside the World Championship and the World Matchplay, it is considered part of the sport’s Triple Crown.
Phil Taylor dominated the Premier League Darts, winning six of the thirteen tournaments he appeared in. He went unbeaten throughout the first three seasons before James Wade ended his 44 match run in the first match of the 2008 season.
