Cazoo Premier League Darts 2022 Manchester: who is playing at the AO Arena and are tickets still available?

The world’s best dart players are set to take centre stage in Manchester as they take part in the 2022 Cazoo Premier League.

After the drama that unfolded at the World Championship’s late 2021/2022, we have been treated to a Premier League that has so far given us drama and an abundance of quality.

With the season at the halfway point, the league is hotting up, and will be at boiling point by the time they roll up in Manchester.

Here’s all you need to know about the event, including if tickets are still available.

What is the Cazoo darts Premier League?

The Cazoo Premier League pits the eight highest ranked dart players in the world against each other every week, in a bid to see who can win and be crowned the winner.

The Premier League has undergone a new format this year, ensuring there can be no draws, with the new format being very well accepted and deemed a roaring success.

Previously, players could draw against each other, but in this new format, players can not draw against each other.

The new league format sees the best players in the world play a quarter final, a semi final and a final. Points are awarded for progression from the quarter finals, semi’s and so on.  Five go 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.
