The 2020 Premier League line-up has been confirmed as well as the first two challengers in the aftermath of the World Championship Final.
Headlining will be of course World Champion Peter Wright and reigning Premier League champion, Michael Van Gerwen.
Gary Anderson will make his return to the line-up after a year away. Rob Cross, Daryl Gurney and Michael Smith will also get another crack at the weekly event.
Glen Durrant will get his debut in the tournament; after a brilliant year on the Tour which has seen him reach multiple semi-finals and establish himself as one of the best players in the World in such a short period of time since leaving the BDO.
Nathan Aspinall will also get his shot at the line-up as he continues the streak of players getting into the line-up after winning a major tournament in the UK Open.
The first two Challengers were also revealed with John Henderson and his brilliant walk-on will once again grace Aberdeen. Fallon Sherrock will also get a night to continue her rise in Nottingham.
The rest of the line-up will be revealed in due course with seven more set for the requisite nights.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
