The longest ever Premier League season has finally ended - nine months after it began due to the pandemic - with Glen Durrant defeating fellow debutant Nathan Aspinall in the Play-Off final at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

In doing so he won his first PDC major at the age of 49 and also banked a huge huge prize of £250,000 in addition to the £25,000 he pocketed as a bonus for topping the regular season table six weeks earlier.

Premier League Challengers

There will be nine challengers, playing one night each.

John Henderson (Aberdeen, Night One)
Fallon Sherrock (Nottingham, Night Two)
Jonny Clayton (Cardiff, Night Three)
William O'Connor (Dublin, Night Four)
Luke Humphries (Exeter, Night Five)
Stephen Bunting (Liverpool, Night Six)
Chris Dobey (Newcastle, Night Seven)
Jeffrey de Zwaan (Rotterdam, Night Eight)
Jermaine Wattimena (Rotterdam, Night Nine)

Scottish crowd favourite John Henderson is set to get the campaign off to a bang at the new P&J Live in Aberdeen, before history-maker Fallon Sherrock, who dominated nearly all of the global headlines during the World Championship with her astonishing victories against Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic, takes centre stage in Nottingham.

The Premier League roadshow then rolls on to Cardiff and Dublin where Welsh number two Jonny Clayton and Irish World Cup runner-up William O’Connor will make their Premier League debuts respectively.

World Youth Champion Luke Humphries will feature in Exeter, while Merseyside man Stephen Bunting will make his Premier League comeback in Liverpool.

Two-time televised semi-finalist Chris Dobey will hope to enjoy another memorable night in Newcastle, before Dutch duo Jeffrey de Zwaan and Jermaine Wattimena entertain the sea of orange in Rotterdam.

Points won by Challengers will not count towards the league table, however their opponents will retain any points gained from the matches. Challengers will receive financial bonuses for winning or drawing their matches.

2020 Premier League Darts Odds

Michael van Gerwen is the even-money favourite to win this title for the sixth time and fifth in succession but new world champion Peter Wright is now regarded as his chief rival after defeating him in the Alexandra Palace final.

Snakebite, who started the new season by winning the Masters, is 9/2 ahead of Gerwyn Price (7/1) while Gary Anderson comes next in the betting at 10/1.

MVG - 1/1
Wight - 9/2
Price - 7/1
Anderson - 10/1
Cross - 12/1
Aspinall - 18/1
Smith - 20/1
Durrant - 25/1
Gurney - 28/1

Premier League Darts History

The Premier League, a much-loved event for all darts fans and punters, was launched by Sky Sports in 2005 and takes the sport's biggest names all over the UK and Ireland as they compete in a round robin format in a bid to reach the play-offs, when the title is ultimately decided.

The world's top four automatically qualify for the event and are joined by six wildcard selections made by the PDC and Sky Sports to complete a final field.

Unsurprisingly Phil Taylor is the most successful Premier League player of all time having topped the table eight times and going on to lift the trophy on six occasions, while he also went a record 44 games unbeaten from 2005-2008.

James Wade first broke his dominance in 2009 when defeating Taylor's conqueror Mervyn King 13-8 and The Power only won it twice since then, with Gary Anderson (2011 & 2015), Michael van Gerwen (2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 2019) and Raymond van Barneveld (2014) being the other champions.

Should MVG win it for a sixth time then not only will he equal Taylor's record but also set a record of most successive titles with five.

Below we have details of the past finals, a selection of records, the final table of each previous season and a look at which players have ever featured in the event.
