The PDC has published dates and venues for the 2027 Premier League: Glasgow on 4 February, seventeen consecutive Thursdays, Finals Night at The O2 on 27 May. Put the two seasons side by side and something else shows up — the 2027 tour goes to exactly the same seventeen cities as 2026, in a slightly different order.
Night 1 is Thursday 4 February 2027 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, and the season closes at The O2 in London on Thursday 27 May. In between there is no rest week: the 16 league nights and Finals Night fall on 17 Thursdays in a row, exactly as they did in 2026.
Glasgow moving to the front is the headline change. In 2026 the OVO Hydro had Night 3 and Newcastle opened the season; for 2027 those two have simply traded places.
| Night | Date | City | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thu 4 Feb | Glasgow | OVO Hydro |
| 2 | Thu 11 Feb | Berlin | Uber Arena |
| 3 | Thu 18 Feb | Newcastle | Utilita Arena |
| 4 | Thu 25 Feb | Belfast | The O2 Belfast |
| 5 | Thu 4 Mar | Cardiff | Utilita Arena |
| 6 | Thu 11 Mar | Nottingham | Motorpoint Arena |
| 7 | Thu 18 Mar | Dublin | 3Arena |
| 8 | Thu 25 Mar | Antwerp | AFAS Dome |
| 9 | Thu 1 Apr | Brighton | Brighton Centre |
| 10 | Thu 8 Apr | Manchester | AO Arena |
| 11 | Thu 15 Apr | Rotterdam | Rotterdam Ahoy |
| 12 | Thu 22 Apr | Liverpool | M&S Bank Arena |
| 13 | Thu 29 Apr | Birmingham | Utilita Arena |
| 14 | Thu 6 May | Leeds | first direct arena |
| 15 | Thu 13 May | Aberdeen | P&J Live |
| 16 | Thu 20 May | Sheffield | Utilita Arena |
| Finals | Thu 27 May | London | The O2 |
Barely, and that is the story. The 2026 tour was the one that shifted the map: Antwerp came in, Exeter came out, and Belgium joined the route for the first time. A year later the PDC has kept every single one of those host cities and reordered eight of them.
The reordering is unusually tidy. Nine nights — Belfast, Cardiff, Nottingham, Dublin, Rotterdam, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and Finals Night in London — are in precisely the slot they occupied in 2026. The other eight moved in four clean pairwise swaps.
| City | 2026 night | 2027 night |
|---|---|---|
| Glasgow | 3 | 1 |
| Newcastle | 1 | 3 |
| Berlin | 8 | 2 |
| Antwerp | 2 | 8 |
| Brighton | 10 | 9 |
| Manchester | 9 | 10 |
| Birmingham | 15 | 13 |
| Aberdeen | 13 | 15 |
Only one of the four swaps really changes the shape of a season. Berlin jumping from Night 8 to Night 2 and Antwerp dropping the other way means the tour now leaves Britain in week two rather than settling into a run of home dates first. The Uber Arena crowd gets a field that has played one night together; in 2026 it got one that had played seven.
Four of the 17 nights are outside the United Kingdom: Berlin, Dublin, Antwerp and Rotterdam. England takes nine, including Finals Night, and Scotland has two at either end of the season — Glasgow first, Aberdeen with two nights to go.

The Night 4 venue is listed as The O2 Belfast, which reads like a change but is not one. Virgin Media O2 took over naming rights at the Odyssey complex on a ten-year deal during the summer of 2026, replacing SSE. It is the same building the Premier League played in on Night 4 of 2026, under a different sign. The quirk is that the 2027 season now visits an O2 twice — Belfast in February, London in May.
One line on the 2027 sheet is worth a second look. Rotterdam keeps Night 11 and Antwerp holds a night for the second year running, and those dates land in a season that has just seen Luke Littler pull out of three Dutch tournaments in 48 hours after being booed and whistled at AFAS Live in Amsterdam.
The two situations are not the same thing, which is precisely why it matters. Players Championships and European Tour events are entered; the Premier League is a contract. A player who accepts one of the eight places accepts all 16 league nights, as our guide to the Premier League format sets out — there is no entry to decline and no night to skip. Littler was one of the eight in 2026, so he played that season’s Rotterdam night, and he would be down for the 2027 one too.
The PDC has confirmed dates and venues only. The eight-player field is settled after the World Championship ends at Alexandra Palace in early January, built from the top of the PDC Order of Merit plus the PDC’s own wildcard picks, so the line-up reveal lands in the four or five weeks between Ally Pally and Glasgow.
Littler goes into that window as champion. He beat Luke Humphries 11-10 at The O2 in May for his second Premier League title, in the third straight year the two had met in the final — Littler won in 2024, Humphries in 2025. Humphries, Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price made up the rest of the 2026 Finals Night four. Michael van Gerwen, Gian van Veen, Josh Rock and Stephen Bunting went out at the league stage, and none of the eight has any claim on a 2027 place: the field is picked from scratch every year.
The 2027 fund has not been published. For reference, 2026 carried £1,250,000 — £350,000 to the champion, £170,000 to the runner-up, £110,000 to each beaten semi-finalist, then £95,000, £90,000, £85,000 and £80,000 for fifth through eighth. Those final standings account for £1,090,000; the remaining £160,000 is the £10,000 paid to the winner of each of the 16 league nights, which is why a player can bank a six-figure sum without reaching The O2 at all.
Tickets, the line-up and the prize fund all follow in their own time. The dates are the fixed points, and there is a full season to get through before Glasgow: the World Grand Prix starts in Leicester on 28 September, then Wolverhampton, Minehead and Alexandra Palace. The 2026 calendar has the rest.
