Premier League Darts heading to Germany as the PDC releases tournament calendar for 2018


Germany will host a night of Premier League Darts in 2018 as the PDC release details of next year's tournament calendar.

The world's biggest names will descend on Berlin's Mercedes-Benz Arena on Thursday February 22 as the Premier League visits Germany for the first time while Rotterdam's Ahoy arena retains its place in the 16-week campaign for a third successive year, following two previous sell-out nights.

The Premier League action all begins at Dublin's 3Arena on February 1 while Judgement Night occurs in Belfast on March 29, with London's O2 hosting the finale of the play-offs on May 17.

Elsewhere on the overall calendar, the sport's Dutch popularity sees a second European Tour event being held in the Netherlands, with Zwolle joining Maastricht in staging a tournament next year while a new competition will be staged in Copenhagen, meaning the European Tour will be expanded to 13 tournaments.

As usual, the top PDC players will begin their seasons with the The Masters in Milton Keynes in January while the other main televised majors take place in their usual spots.
