What is the Premier League Darts format?

Eight players will compete in Premier League Darts 2025, with the top four of the Order of Merit and four wildcards making up the numbers.

Each of the players will meet each other once in weeks 1-7 and again in weeks 9-15, but fixtures for weeks 8 and 16 are drawn based on league standings.

How each player performs on each night will earn them points which will determine their place in the Premier League table.

Here is how the points system works:

• Winner: 5 points
• Runner-up: 3 points
• Two losing semi-finalists: 2 points

Following the conclusion of week 16, the top four in the Premier League table will secure their tickets to Finals Night.

Finals Night at London's O2 Arena begins with the semi-finals as first in the table takes on fourth and second faces third.
