The 2023 Cazoo Premier League Darts is a darts tournament, organised by the Professional Darts Corporation – the nineteenth edition of the tournament. The event will begin on Thursday 2 February 2023, at the SSE Arena in Belfast, and will finish with the play-offs, at the The O2 Arena in London on Thursday 25 May 2023.[1]

Michael van Gerwen is the defending champion after beating Joe Cullen 11–10 in the 2022 final.[2]

Format

As introduced in last year's tournament, the 2023 Premier League Darts is expected to continue using an eight-person knockout bracket every night. Each of the seven matches was played over the best-of-11 legs. The players are guaranteed to meet each other once in the quarter-finals throughout the first seven weeks and once in the quarterfinals in weeks 9–15, with weeks 8 and 16 being drawn based on the league standings at that point. Players will receive two points per semi-final finish, three points per runner-up finish, and five points per final win.[3]

Following the regular phase, the top four players in the league table will contest the two knockout semi-finals with 1st playing 4th and 2nd playing 3rd.


Venues

The 2023 tournament will keep the same 17 venues used in the 2022 Premier League. On 8 October 2022, it was announced that Liverpool and Brighton were switching dates, after Liverpool had been awarded the hosting duties for the Eurovision Song Contest.[4]
