BETMGM PREMIER LEAGUE DARTS NIGHT 16: SHEFFIELD VENUE INFO, TV & MORE
The four players for Play-offs Night are locked in but there is still plenty to play for as the BetMGM Premier League heads to Sheffield for the final regular night of the season.
Luke Littler, Jonny Clayton, Gerwyn Price and defending champion Luke Humphries have all sealed their spots for Finals Night, though there is some jostling for position to do in South Yorkshire.
Cool Hand finally won his first night of the season last week in Birmingham – it is a battle between him and Price for third spot.
It’s top versus bottom gets us underway at the Utilita Arena though as Littler faces Josh Rock, before Humphries meets Michael van Gerwen – the seven-time champion has missed out on the play-offs for the second year in a row.
Clayton takes on Stephen Bunting before the last-eight ties are rounded by Price going up against Gian van Veen, who is one of two players yet to win a night.
We’re here with all you need to know ahead of Thursday night: the full Sheffield fixture list, essential venue information, how to watch, betting angles and more.
Remember: with the latest offers and odds, expert weekly previews, tips, special features and more, the BetMGM Premier League Darts Hub](/sports/darts/pdc-premier-league) is your front-row seat for the entire 2026 season.
WHO WON BETMGM PREMIER LEAGUE DARTS NIGHT 15?
It was a fast-paced night in the Second City and ultimately one which decided the top four.
Van Veen kicked off proceedings with a win over Rock before Price got the better of Van Gerwen in match that went one way and then the other.
Humphries whitewashed Bunting 6-0 and another demolition was just around the corner with Littler thrashing second-placed Clayton by the same scoreline.
Price assured his top four spot by beating Van Veen in one semi, before Humphries finally got the better of Littler in the other with Cool Hand averaging north of 110.
He then raced into a commanding lead in the final before a Price comeback made it 4-4. The Welshman couldn’t complete the recovery, though, and the world number two won two legs in a row to claim a 6-4 win.
The league table looks like this:
