The new version of the Premier League starts at the beginning of February. At 4pm on Thursday, the PDC will announce the eight players who will take part in the prestigious darts competition, which starts on Thursday 2nd February. One.

Luke Humphreys makes his Premier League darts debut as the new world champion. Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith, Nathan Aspinall and Gerwyn Price can all expect calls. Of course, the big question is whether PDC teenage sensation Luke Littler has the guts to throw himself straight into the lions’ den. The 16-year-old prodigy reached the final on his World Darts Championship debut but lost 5-7 to Humphreys after leading 4-2.

The problem that Littler may have is that there is red tape when he is 16 and leaves school to play darts. There he will have a great opportunity to compete in the ProTour, European Tour Qualifiers and European Tour Premier. You must play a league that is at least one day of school or high school. However, given his global appeal, this will be a bureaucratic process and Sky Sports News will soon find out if he will be involved.

The format of the 2024 Darts Premier League will remain the same as before. 8 players compete in weekly mini-tournaments for 16 weeks. The top four players will compete for the final victory in the playoffs on Thursday, May 23.
