Resolution criteria

The 2026 Premier League Darts runs from February 5 to May 28, with the final taking place at the O2 Arena in London. The winner will be determined by a mini tournament format each night with quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals, where matches are best-of-11 legs and the winner receives five points. The top four players after the first 15 weeks contest two knock-out semi-finals, with the final determining the overall winner. Resolution will be based on the official PDC announcement of the 2026 Premier League Darts champion, available at Sky Sports Darts.

Background

Luke Humphries is the defending champion after defeating Luke Littler in the 2025 final, but Littler enters as favourite after winning his second consecutive world title in January 2026. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries occupy the top two positions in the Order of Merit and are guaranteed to feature, as is Gian van Veen after his World Championship semi-final run, and seven-time winner Michael van Gerwen. Gian van Veen and Josh Rock are making their Premier League debuts. The 2026 Premier League champion will receive £350,000.

Considerations

Premier League qualification involves four automatic spots for the top players on the PDC Order of Merit and four wild-card selections chosen by the PDC. The provided answers list includes all eight confirmed players for the 2026 tournament, so the market will resolve to one of these eight competitors only.
