Historic Premier League Darts record broken! Night Nine in Manchester smashes the glass ceiling

In the Premier League Darts, Thursday night in Manchester featured Night Nine on the schedule. Gerwyn Price claimed the nightly title with a 6-2 win in the final over Gian van Veen. The standard in Manchester was exceptionally high once again, to the point that records were set.

Night Nine of the Premier League Darts 2026 delivered a historic moment. With an unprecedented overall nightly average of 101.55, a new record was set in the prestigious competition. This round will therefore go down as the strongest ever based on the collective level of the participants.

The previous record belonged to Night 12 in 2025, when an average of 100.56 was recorded. That was already an impressive feat at the time, but the players managed to raise the bar even further in 2026. The jump to 101.55 underscores how high the level in the Premier League Darts is at the moment.

The Premier League Darts has been renowned for years for its world-class field and spectacular matches, but this new record confirms that the sport continues to evolve. Players are throwing consistently high scores and increasingly making the difference on the doubles. The result is matches of exceptional quality, with fans treated to elite darts almost every week.

The fact that an entire nightly average breaks this barrier says a lot about the depth of the field. It’s not just individual outliers, but a collective top performance from all players contributing to this record. On Night Nine, no fewer than nine 100+ averages were recorded. Gerwyn Price produced the highest average with 112.91 during his 6-2 semi-final win over Stephen Bunting. Price went on to win the final later in the evening.

With this new milestone, the bar seems to have been raised again for the rest of the season. The main question now is: can this level go even higher, or have we already witnessed the absolute peak of the Premier League Darts 2026? One thing is certain: the competition is fierce and the fans are the big winners.
