How does the Premier League darts 2026 table look after night two?
Night One winner Michael Van Gerwen sits top of the table with eight points after reaching last week’s final in Antwerp, with Gerwyn Price occupying second place on five points after beating the Dutchman in Belgium seven days ago to claim his first nightly triumph.
Fellow Welshman Jonny Clayton is in third spot with four points after reaching back-to-back semi-finals, with beaten finalist on week one Gian van Veen in fourth position on three points.
World Number One Luke Littler has got off to a sluggish start by his own standards, sitting down in fifth place on just two points alongside defending champions Luke Humphries. The table is currently propped up by pointless duo Stephen Bunting and Josh Rock, who will both be desperate to get off the mark tonight.
The top four in the table at the end of week 16 will advance to the play-offs in London where two semi-finals and a final will decide an overall winner.
