Premier League Darts Night 13 LIVE: Full schedule, format and how to follow as Humphries looks to catch Littler at top of table

Luke Humphries is closing in on Luke Littler at the top of the Premier League Darts table as the event rolls into Birmingham.

Littler hasn’t won an event since Night 8 in Newcastle, and he now faces competition to finish above the rest.

Littler’s dominant start to the season had seen him miles ahead of rival Humphries, but contrasting nights in Liverpool have changed things.

Humphries made it to the final, where he was beaten by Gerwyn Price, while Littler crashed out at the start of the night against Michael van Gerwen.

One more success for Littler would make it a record five victories in a single season, beating his total of four in his debut year in 2024.

Meanwhile, Rob Cross and Van Gerwen are the only players ye to win an evening.

Premier League Darts Night 13: Format

Each night of the competition stages an eight-player knockout tournament, with all seven games played over the best of 11 legs.

Players receive five points per final win, three points per runner-up finish, and two per semi-final finish.

The top four in the table will contest two knockout semi-finals at the end of the first 15 weeks before a final will crown the overall winner.

The format on Premier League Finals Night is slightly different, with a best of 19 legs in the semis, and the final being a best of 21 legs. 

The first thrower in the semi-finals is decided by standings in the Premier League. 

For the final, players will have a bull-off in the practice room to decide the first thrower. 

How does the Darts Premier League work?

Eight of the world’s leading players go head-to-head over 17 nights, beginning in February and ending in a huge finals night in May.

Each of the players meet every week from 1-7 and then again in weeks 9-15 with weeks 8 and 16 drawn based on league standings.
The points system is explained here:

• Nightly winner: 5 points
• Runner-up: 3 points
• Losing semi-finalists: 2 points

After week 16, the top four in the league standings contest the semi-finals and the final at The O2 arena in London.

First takes on fourth and second comes up against third in the best-of-19-leg semi-finals before a best-of-21-leg final.

Premier League Darts Night 13: What has been said?

Speaking after his third win, Price made it clear he didn’t enjoy playing in Rotterdam: “I am not going to speak about last week but when the conditions are good and it’s a fair game, I play some good darts.

“Sometimes I throw my toys out of the pram when things don’t go my way but I had a reason last week. We don’t deserve to play in those conditions.

“They say we have to play in Rotterdam every year but surely they can find a venue where it is fair for everyone.

“People say it’s the same for every player, it’s not. Some will throw heavier darts, longer stems, longer flights.

“Look, if you had the World Snooker Championship there now, lift a leg up one end, and down on the other end, I’m sure Ronnie O’Sullivan wouldn’t be happy with that.”
