World number two Peter Wright said: “I love the walk-ons and the feeling I get from fans everywhere we go is incredible. It will be a brilliant moment for the lucky winners to experience what we get to enjoy in the Unibet Premier League.” “Fans often tell us what song they would come on to and what they would do for their Walk-On so now is their chance to strut their stuff.” Each week the tournament sponsor Unibet will be running a social media competition that will encourage fans to send in their best darts Walk-On videos. The two best videos in each city will be selected and the winners will not only have the chance to recreate their Walk-On live at the event, they will enjoy a full VIP experience and compete on-stage in a 9-Dart Challenge in front of a capacity crowd. Of the 16 locations the Unibet Premier League will be visiting in the coming weeks the two cities with the highest combined 9-Dart score will see those fans represent their home town in a Final 9-Dart Showdown at the O2 in London – all expenses paid! So choose your music, walk your walk and send a
video to @unibet performing your best darts Walk-On using #unibet180. A night of the darts is synonymous with fun and fancy dress and fans attending the events will also stand to win tickets to the Finals Event at the O2 Arena in London simply by tweeting their ‘Best Photo of the Night’ to @Unibet using the #Unibet180. In addition to this, there will be give-aways, ticket upgrades and spot-prizes up for grabs for those heading to a night at the arrows. The 2018 Unibet Premier League will take place in 16 different cities across the UK, Ireland, Netherlands and for the first time in Berlin, Germany, leading to the Play-Offs in London in May. The tournament will see ten of the best darts players from around the world, compete over 16 gruelling weeks to be crowned the Unibet Premier League Champion.

PDC event, has world number one and defending champion Michael Van Gerwen the favourite to win the tournament at 17/20 with current world champion Rob Cross following at 3/1. 17-20 Van Gerwen; 3 Cross; 11-2 Anderson; 7 Wright; 33 Gurney, Van Barneveld; 40 Suljovic; 50 Smith; 100 Price; 150 Whitlock
