2027 Premier League darts schedule: Luke Littler's title defence to begin in Glasgow

The 2027 Premier League darts schedule has been confirmed, with the 17-night tournament kicking off in Glasgow on Feb. 4.

Luke Littler regained his title in May, beating Luke Humphries in a dramatic final at the O2 Arena which ended 11-10 in the double world champion's favour after a nail-biting deciding leg.

The 17 cities that hosted last year's Premier League will do so again in 2027.

Where last year's campaign kicked off in Newcastle, the next edition will begin in the Scottish capital before moving on to Berlin. The Premier League then returns to Newcastle before touring Belfast, Cardiff and Nottingham as the league table takes shape.

The league phase ends Sheffield, as it did this year, before finals night is held at the O2 Arena in east London.

The Premier League's format has been criticised by some fans who have described the same eight players repeatedly facing off against each other across the four-month competition as having grown stale.

PDC founder and former chairman Barry Hearn, who is the president of Matchroom Sport which majority owns the PDC, told The Sun in July that his "gut feeling is at least one more year with the same format, then we'll have to see." The PDC have not indicated that the format will change for 2027.
