The second half of the 2021 Unibet Premier League will be held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes in May, the PDC has confirmed.
The season will end with three nights from May 10-12, four nights from May 13-16 before the Play-Offs on Friday May 28. All action will be live on Sky Sports.
This means the Premier League will not have the usual ‘road show’ element for 2021. However, the PDC still holds out hope of empowering fans.
“The CSP will continue to liaise with the relevant authorities regarding the potential for a living population in Milton Keynes in the 2021 season, with any information to be announced once it is available,” read a statement.
In the nine opening nights the 10 players will face each other once in the round stage. The bottom two players will be eliminated on Judgment Night.
In the second level the other eight players will see each other play once.
The top four in the table will face off in semi-finals and a final on the final night to decide a winner.
The entire tournament will be held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes
The action will begin on Monday, April 5, with the first half of the season underway in two one-week blocks next month behind closed doors in Milton Keynes.
There are some verbal links in store for the opening night with a replay of last year’s World Cup final (Gerwyn Price vs Gary Anderson) and last year’s Premier League final (Glen Durrant vs Nathan Aspinall).
There are three editors in the 2021 competition, with Dimitri Van den Bergh, Jose de Sousa and Jonny Clayton all making their bow.
Meanwhile, former world champions Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright and world-class Rob Cross complete the star-studded arena.
