Tournament Format

The Premier League Darts operates on a league system, with players earning points based on their performance each night. The top four players at the end of the league phase will advance to the playoffs, culminating in the final at The O2 arena in London on May 29.

Luke Humphries vs. Nathan Aspinall

Luke Humphries enters the night looking to regain momentum after showing signs of fatigue in recent weeks. Despite this, he is still odds-on at 1/2. Nathan Aspinall, known for his tenacity and ability to dig deep, is 8/5 to cause an upset. With both players eyeing playoff spots, expect a cagey but high-quality opener.

Michael van Gerwen vs. Luke Littler

A blockbuster showdown between a legend and the league leader. Michael van Gerwen, still trying to find his top gear post-injury, remains a dangerous prospect and is priced at 7/4. But it’s Luke Littler, riding high at the top with a dominant season, who commands the odds at 4/9. The Nuke looks to extend his lead and add another huge name to his growing list of scalps. This matchup could certainly favour punters who like the sound of Over 32 180s in the quarter-final session, which is now 6/1, boosted from 5/1.

Rob Cross vs. Stephen Bunting

A crucial clash for two players hovering in the middle pack. Rob Cross has been solid if unspectacular, sitting at EVS, while Stephen Bunting, fresh off a string of strong performances, edges in as favourite at 4/5. This match could prove decisive for playoff aspirations, and you can expect a tactical battle with moments of brilliance. With Wayne Mardle’s Price Boost, Stephen Bunting’s price to win the night has been boosted to 10/1, previously 8/1, offering punters a greater value bet.

Gerwyn Price vs. Chris Dobey

The night ends with fireworks as Gerwyn Price takes on Chris Dobey. Price, seeking consistency to lock in a playoff place, is a narrow 4/6 favourite. Dobey, who has showcased flashes of elite finishing and high scoring, stands at 6/5 and will be looking to spoil the Iceman’s party. It’s a tight matchup that could go the distance. Previously priced at 7/2, Humphries, Bunting and Price to win all their quarter-final matches is 9/2 thanks to Wayne Mardle’s Price Boost.

Tournament Favourites

Understandably, Luke Littler is favourite to claim the Premier League title this year at 4/5, following his success in the competition last year as well as his recent PDC Championship title. ‘Cool Hand’ Luke Humphries narrowly trails ‘The Nuke’ at 5/2, followed by Gerwyn Price at 9/1. Nathan Aspinall has shortened into 9/1 thanks to some good form. League veteran Michael van Gerwen is 14/1, while Rob Cross has drifted to 28/1. Chris Dobey and Stephen Bunting are outsiders to claim the title at 28/1 and 80/1 respectively, even after the Bullet’s recent victory.
