Premier League Darts 2021 Schedule Announced
The PDC has announced the dates – and venue – for this year’s delayed Darts Premier League.
While we await news of the fixtures, we at least have a start date for Darts longest-lasting event.
Unfortunately, the understandable decision to postpone proceedings in order to tour the event around local venues in order to allow for fans, hasn’t paid off.

Darts Premier League Once again in Milton Keynes
The weekly first stage, which will last for nine nights, will take place in its entirety at the now extremely familiar Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.
It will, of course, take place behind closed doors too.
Judgement Night, as ever, will see the bottom-placed two players in the league table eliminated.
From there, seven more nights will take place as we work our way towards the playoffs, which according to the latest government guidelines, might well finally allow for fans to be in attendance as we potentially work our way out of lockdown.
As always, players will earn two points for a win, and one for a draw, with the first stage of the tourney played to the best of 12 legs.
The top four players in the table after 16 rounds will contest the playoffs.
We also know this year’s Premier League Darts line-up. It was confirmed after the Darts Masters in January, which was won by the other member of Wales’ Darts World Cup winning duo Jonny Clayton.
As such, Clayton joins other PDC maiden victors, Jose De Sousa and Dimitri Van den Bergh as the three debutants of this year’s event which will begin on the 5th of April.
They are joined in the 10-player tournament by defending champion Glen Durrant, new world number one Gerwyn Price, five times DPL winner Michael van Gerwen, plus Nathan Aspinall, Peter Wright, Gary Anderson and Rob Cross.
