How does Premier League Darts work? Everything you need to know with Luke Littler set to take part in grueling 17-round tournament with total prize money of £1m

The Premier League Darts campaign will finally get underway on Thursday, pitting eight of the best players in the world against each other in a bid to become champion.

Reigning champion Michael van Gerwen is looking to win his seventh title in nine years, but will face fierce competition from some up-and-coming stars, from World Champion and World No 1 Luke Humphries to teenage sensation Luke Littler.

With the campaign getting underway in Cardiff, it will tour Europe but mainly feature in England, until its conclusion at the O2 Arena on May 23.
