Fixtures confirmed ahead of Premier League Darts return in August
PDCWednesday, 22 July 2020 at 16:15
The Premier League Darts will return in August with six successive nights being held in Milton Keynes to start it all off. Fixtures have now been confirmed for the first three nights.
Taking place between August 25-30 which includes Judgement Night, the Marshall Arena which is currently hosting the World Matchplay will be the home of the Premier League Darts when it returned.
The first three nights see the final three Challengers in Chris Dobey, Jeffrey de Zwaan and Jermaine Wattimena - get their chance which they didn't get due to Coronavirus albeit behind closed doors.
On the opening night among the ties include league leader Glen Durrant against World Champion Peter Wright and Michael van Gerwen as reigning champion will face Rob Cross.
Durrant and Van Gerwen will face off in a huge tie on the Wednesday between the current top two while Rob Cross and Michael Smith will be involved in a repeat of the 2019 World Matchplay final.
Judgement Night on the Thursday sees the bottom placed player eliminated. Daryl Gurney is currently bottom and he will face Wright, Cross will face Durrant and Price will take on Wattimena, all looking to stave off the drop.
Also Van Gerwen will face Gary Anderson in one of the ties of the night before the remaining eight players will face off over seven more league nights.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
