The 2012 Premier League Darts will feature the top four players in the PDC Order of Merit following the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship plus four Wildcards, with the eight players competing over 14 weeks in the league phase before the top four progress to the Play-Offs. Gary Anderson won this year's title with a victory over Adrian Lewis, while Phil Taylor and James Wade have also been crowned as champion since the Premier League Darts was introduced in 2005.

 

Next year's event will begin in Manchester on Thursday February 9 as the eight players compete in the first of 14 nights where they will meet twice in the league phase.

 

Play will then head to the AECC in Aberdeen for night two and across the Irish Sea to Belfast for the third league night at the Odyssey Arena, before returning to England to be played at the Westpoint Arena in Exeter and The Brighton Centre on the first two Thursdays in March.

 

Premier League Darts will visit Dublin for the first time on Thursday March 22 to be held at The O2 as the league phase reaches its halfway point.

 

The Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff will host the eighth league night, with Nottingham's Capital FM Arena, Sheffield's Motorpoint Arena and the BIC in Bournemouth hosting further league nights.

 

The Echo Arena, Liverpool, Birmingham's NIA and the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle will stage the remaining league nights, before the top four players head to The O2 in London on Thursday May 17 to contest the Play-Offs.

 

"The tournament takes the sport's top players to all four corners of the UK and next year we're also excited to be visiting Dublin for our debut at The O2,” said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.

 

"We welcomed a record number of fans to the event earlier this year and are looking forward to seeing the Premier League Darts grow further in 2012."

 

The field of eight players will be confirmed in January following the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship, with the top four players from the PDC Order of Merit joined by four Wildcards.

 

Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis, James Wade and Gary Anderson currently occupy the top four places in the PDC Order of Merit, ahead of Simon Whitlock and Raymond van Barneveld.
