Champions League of Darts: Group draw, BBC TV coverage, tables, match schedule, results, betting odds & player profiles
The full results and tables fromr the BBC-televised 2017 Unibet Champions League of Darts, which took place in Cardiff from September 16-17.
The biggest stars in darts returned to terrestrial TV screens on September 16-17 as the legendary Phil Taylor attempted to defend his Champions League of Darts crown at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena, live on the BBC.
The Power rolled back the years to defeat Michael van Gerwen twice during the inaugural event last year - once in the group stages and then 11-5 in the final - but world number one MVG was odds-on favourite to gain his revenge this time and get his hands on the trophy for the first time.
Taylor, who was Sky Bet's 5/1 third favourite, and van Gerwen were once again drawn in the same group, alongside Adrian Lewis and Raymond van Barneveld, while Gary Anderson, Peter Wright, Dave Chisnall and 40/1 tournament outsider and debutant Mensur Suljovic would collide in the other.

What channel is the Champions League of Darts on and when can I watch it?
Well, as previously mentioned, this is only time you can see the PDC's top stars in action on BBC Sport. The opening four group games on Saturday afternoon will be on BBC One but the other sessions will be on BBC Two. The times of each sessions are listed in the schedule section above.
Champions League of Darts format
- The eight-player field have been split into two groups of four.
- They will play the other players in their group once, in best-of-19 legs play matches, with two points for a win. The two players who win their opening group games will play each other on Saturday evening, with the two losing players facing each other. The remaining games take place on Sunday afternoon.
- The top two in each group will go through to the semi-final. If players are equal on points then leg difference comes into play. If still level then it goes on head-to-head record.
- The group winners will play the runners-up of the other group over 21 legs, with the two semi-final winners then meeting with the trophy and a cheque of £100,000 on the line. That too will be played over 21 legs.
Champions League of Darts: Sky Bet odds
CLICK HERE FOUR OUR EXPERT CHRIS HAMMER'S BETTING PREVIEW & PREDICTIONS
Michael van Gerwen is Sky Bet's 4/5 favourite to win the the Champions League of Darts as he targets his 13th title of the season and his third on the trot since his return to the oche following the birth of his first child Zoe.
MVG's last appearance on the televised stage was, of course, his heavy 16-6 defeat at the hands of Phil Taylor at the World Matchplay but having missed the World Series of Darts events in Auckland, Melbourne and Perth to spend time with his family, he came back to land a fourth successive Dutch Darts Masters crown and followed that up with the German Darts Grand Prix this past weekend.
Taylor is picking and choosing his events this year as he bids to stay fresh for those he does enter and this plan paid off in style at the World Matchplay as he romped to his 16th Blackpool title.
The Power loves being in front of the terrestrial TV cameras and is intent on securing the title for a second successive year and he's 5/1 to do just that.
Two-time world champion Gary Anderson, who is in form himself having recently won the Perth Darts Masters, is 9/2 second favourite while UK Open champion Peter Wright is 6/1.
Here is a full list of tournament odds...
