Luke Humphries and Luke Littler will lock horns in a repeat of the World Championship final on the opening night of the BetMGM Premier League on February 1, with each night's opening fixtures now confirmed.
The BetMGM Premier League will see eight of the sport’s top stars contesting 16 mini-events during the season, with each league night comprising quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final over the best of 11 legs.
The 2024 season begins at Cardiff's Utilita Arena on February 1, with the opening night’s quarter-finals headlined by a blockbuster showdown between World Champion Humphries and teenage sensation Littler.
Humphries prevailed in a record-breaking World Championship final on January 3, and the world number one will make his fully fledged Premier League debut against the World Youth Champion.
Home hero Gerwyn Price will also take centre stage in Cardiff, as he plays World Matchplay champion Nathan Aspinall in a repeat of last year’s decider in the Welsh capital.
Reigning champion Michael van Gerwen faces 2023 World Champion Michael Smith in the evening’s third quarter-final, as the Dutch superstar begins his bid for a record-extending eighth Premier League crown.
Meanwhile, in the opening match of the tournament, former finalists Rob Cross and Peter Wright will go head-to-head in a battle of the World Champions.
Night Two will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin on February 8, as Van Gerwen and Aspinall open the show in the German capital, while Humphries and Wright also collide.
Wright will headline Night Three at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro when he faces his old adversary Van Gerwen, while Littler makes his debut on Scottish soil against Price.
The Welshman will also star on Night Four at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on Thursday February 22, as he takes on Van Gerwen in a repeat of last year’s final.
Night Five will then see the world's top two go head-to-head as Humphries meets Van Gerwen, while Littler is pitted against Smith in the fourth quarter-final of the evening at the Westpoint Exeter.
The sport’s biggest roadshow continues with Night Six on March 7 in Brighton, where Humphries and Price renew their rivalry in a repeat of October’s World Grand Prix decider.
Van Gerwen and Littler will clash on Night Seven in Nottingham on Thursday March 14, which also features a battle between the most recent World Champions, as Humphries faces Smith.
Quarter-final fixtures for 14 of the 16 league nights are listed below in draw bracket order, with fixtures for Night Eight and Night 16 set to be determined by league standings heading into each night.
All matches will be played over the best of 11 legs, with a £10,000 bonus on offer to each night's winner.
Ranking points will also be awarded each night - with five to the winner, three to the runner-up and two to the semi-finalists - to form the league table from which the top four players will progress to the Play-Offs at The O2 in London on Thursday May 23.
