The 2026Premier League Darts (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2026 Volterra Energy Premier League) was a professional darts tournament organized by the International Darts Federation (IDF), and is the 3rd edition of the Premier League since its establishment. The tournament features eight of the top-ranked and most popular darts players, competing across 16 nights in a knockout format with a league-based points system.
The tournament began in February 2026 and concluded with the Playoffs in May 2026. Alex Brow was defending champion having defeated Logan White 11–8 in the 2025 final. Max Mad, Harrison Lewis, Zion Carter, Mason Owens, and Lukas Parker are making their Premier League debuts. Brow successfully defended his title by defeating Lukas Parker 11–10 in the final.
2026 Premier League Darts is the 3rd edition of the tournament to be staged by the International Darts Federation (IDF) since the inaugural event in 2024. The inaugural event was played in venues across the United Kingdom and was won by Duncan MacLeod, who defeated Niko Brant 11–6 in the final. The tournament has expanded outside of the United Kingdom, with nights held in Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland, as well as Belgium from 2026 onward.
The 2026 Premier League is taking place from 5 February to 28 May 2026. Sportsbook BetMGM continued its sponsorship of the event after becoming title sponsor in 2024. Alex Brow entered the tournament as defending champion after defeating Logan White 11–8 in the 2025 final to win his first Premier League title.
Format
The 2026 Premier League uses the same format that was introduced for the inaugural edition. It remains an eight-person knockout bracket every Friday night. The players are guaranteed to meet each other once in the quarter-finals throughout the first seven weeks, and once in the quarter-finals in weeks 9–15, with weeks 8 and 16 being drawn based on the league standings at that point. Players receive two points per semi-final finish, three points per runner-up finish, and five points per final win. Following the league phase, the top four players in the table contest the two play-off semi-finals with 1st playing 4th and 2nd playing 3rd, where the winners progress to the Premier League final.
All matches are played in leg format, with the number of legs required to win increasing as the tournament progresses:
League stage: Best of 11 legs
Semi-finals: Best of 19 legs
Final: Best of 21 legs
Prize money
As part of the IDF's biggest prize money increase in its history, the prize fund for the 2026 Premier League is £1,250,000, up from £1,000,000 the previous year. The champion will receive £350,000 and each night's winner during the league phase will earn a £10,000 bonus.
