New Zealanders Jonny Tata and Ben Robb have completed the field for the inaugural Dabble Darts Premier League.
The duo join six Australian stars for the eight-night ANZ Premier League, which will begin at the John Cain Arena in Melbourne on Saturday October 4.
The event also visit Newcastle, Canberra, Hobart, Adelaide, Wellington and the Gold Coast on successive Saturdays, before the top four players compete in the Play-Offs in Brisbane on November 22.
Wellington-based truck driver Tata will get the chance to compete in his home city during the eight-night event, after topping the 2025 DPNZ ProTour rankings.
The 33-year-old won five of the final seven DPNZ ProTour events to top the final standings, and landed a nine-dart leg in Sunday's Event 12 final as he sealed his ANZ Premier League qualification.
Tata competed recently in the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam, and took part in both the Australian Darts Masters and New Zealand Darts Masters events in August.
Robb, meanwhile, won Monday's DPNZ Top 16 Play-Off to secure his place in the tournament, having finished second to Tata in the 2025 DPNZ ProTour rankings.
Robb has played previously in five World Championships and three times at the World Cup of Darts, taking a wealth of experience onto the ANZ Premier League stage.
The first seven nights of the ANZ Premier League will mirror the format of the PDC's Premier League, which sees quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final take place in one action-packed session – as the eight stars face each other once in quarter-final ties.
League nights will be played over the best of nine legs, with points awarded as follows:
Winner - 5 points
Runner-Up - 3 points
Semi-Finalists - 2 points
The Play-Offs on Saturday November 22 in Brisbane will feature the top four players from the final league table, playing semi-finals over the best of 15 legs and the final over the best of 19 legs.
The eventual champion will earn $30,000 and secure a place in the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship.
The runner-up will take home $24,000, and each of the semi-finalists are guaranteed $20,000.
