The PDC has announced the schedule for the 2022 Premier League Darts. However, it became clear that the competition will not be finished in May as usual.
Only the first six weeks have been given a date and location. It is not known on which date the ten remaining rounds and the play-offs will be played. The PDC did announce that a round will be played in Berlin on Monday June 13.
On Thursday 3 February the Premier League Darts gets underway in the Welsh capital Cardiff. Defending champion Jonny Clayton opens the event with a match against newcomer Joe Cullen. World number one Gerwyn Price takes on James Wade in front of his own audience. World Championship runner-up Michael Smith gets a new chance against Peter Wright, against whom Smith lost the battle for the world title. Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson close the first week of play.
New format
The eight participants play a tournament sixteen times. It will be arranged so that a player meets the other participants twice in the quarter-finals. During two weeks of play, in the eighth and sixteenth week, the draw is determined by league standings heading into each night.
Points can be scored with results in the sixteen tournaments. A semi-final earns two points, a second place three points and a tournament win five points and a £10,000 bonus.
Based on these points the new Premier League Darts ranking is formed. The four best players advance to the Premier League Darts play-offs.

- Have you noticed in honour of the great man ,Richie Burnett that Waitrose have designed their current carrier bags with a bright green W...very reminiscent of the shirt Richie wore in the 90s Never in the history of darts do we need a player to withdraw and provide that safety net for the greatest player in darts. Seeing as Richie Burnett is a World Champion he should have a permanent tour card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2026
- Come on big lad,you say something, delete it,so what's the beef? You lost 5-0. Did he just lose his tissue whilst crying? If you can't do it, don't. You wouldn't catch your dad wiping your nose! All the greats of the past,and a snotty kid boy who lost. Boo boo. Come on Mr Burnett,you know you agree with me!!! You are a true gentrick6707-01-2026
- What's he moaning about? His dad not letting him borrow his drill bits to throw with? Come on boy,the dartboard doesn't move,if you're like this now,best you get driving for Uber,and shut up lad. Gamesmanship is part of it,grow your hair or grow a pairrick6707-01-2026
- Bunting over Noppy? No thanks, I'm out. My PDC sub lapses at the end of the month, maybe I'll renew it for the next WDC.thebogeyman06-01-2026
- I definitely won't be watching this tripe. Picking fatty Bunting so he can mime and do those pathetic hand gestures in a desperate attempt to appease the crowd is completely criminal. This worthless goof and peoples chump is taking home £80000 from the competition Why not pick Justin Hood? A refreshing and very popular characterrichieburnettrocks05-01-2026
- With those averages,I can really not see anyone quaking in their shoes!rick6705-01-2026
- Well,I won't be be watching the weekly tirade of this 'league!' It's honestly a waste of time,I'm fed up with writing it,but it's a weekly p**s up for fans,and a payday for 8 players and the pdc. Helps not 1 single other playerrick6705-01-2026

- Good luck to Richie Burnett A World Champion and the greatest player in darts COME ON RICHIE!!!!richieburnettrocks05-01-2026
- Have 2 groups of 8 players, alternate weeks. 1st & 4th ranked in 1st pot, 2nd & 3rd in the 2nd. Halves the number of potential match-ups. Top 4 from each group then mix up to fight out for the 4 final night spots.Arazi9204-01-2026
