The 2026 Premier League Darts season is set to be more thrilling than ever, thanks to a spectacular new incentive from title sponsor BetMGM. Any player who achieves a perfect nine-darter will be awarded a bespoke set of solid 18-carat gold darts, valued at an incredible £30,000. This highly coveted prize can be won multiple times across the 17 league nights, significantly raising the stakes and promising an unforgettable tournament for both players and fans, building on last year’s record-breaking success where £150,000 was paid out for five nine-darters.
The Dazzling Prize: Solid Gold Darts Worth £30,000
The world of darts is buzzing with anticipation for the 2026 Premier League, and for good reason. Title sponsor BetMGM has announced an extraordinary bonus: a custom-made set of solid gold darts for every player who hits a nine-darter. These aren’t just any darts; they are crafted from 18-carat gold, specially designed by renowned jewellers Humphrey and Hawkins, and boast an astonishing value of £30,000.
This exclusive prize adds an unprecedented layer of prestige and financial reward to the already high-stakes competition. Imagine not just winning a leg with perfection, but also walking away with a piece of art that signifies that ultimate achievement.
Multiple Chances for Perfection and Riches
What makes this initiative even more exciting is its accessibility and repeatability. All eight players participating in the Premier League Darts 2026 are eligible to win this incredible prize. Furthermore, it can be won multiple times across the 17 thrilling league nights. With 21 nine-darters thrown throughout the history of the Premier League Darts, history suggests we are in for a treat.
This means a single player could potentially accumulate several sets of these golden darts, turning an already lucrative career into an even more golden opportunity.
Building on Last Year’s Unprecedented Success
The inspiration for this year’s grand incentive comes directly from the phenomenal success of the previous season. In 2025, the Premier League Darts witnessed an unprecedented five nine-darters. The darts world was captivated as:
- Luke Humphries achieved a perfect leg.
- Rob Cross delivered a flawless performance.
- Luke Littler showcased his incredible talent with a nine-darter.
- Gerwyn Price made history by hitting a nine-darter not once, but twice!
This remarkable display of skill led BetMGM to pay out a staggering £150,000 in rewards last year, a move that significantly boosted the popularity of the initiative among both players and fans, setting a high bar for the upcoming season.
Who Will Hit the Golden Bullseye? The Favourites Emerge
With such a valuable prize on the line, oddsmakers are already busy predicting who will be the first to achieve perfection. Unsurprisingly, the reigning World Champion, Luke Littler, is the clear favourite, tipped at 4/5. His incredible consistency and flair make him a strong contender.
Close behind is defending Premier League champion Luke Humphries at 9/2, known for his relentless scoring and clinical finishing. Also in the mix is World Darts Championship finalist Gian van Veen at 6/1, whose rising star status makes him a dark horse for the golden prize.
The calibre of talent gracing the oche guarantees a fiercely competitive and potentially record-breaking season.
PDC and BetMGM: A Partnership for Perfection
The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) warmly welcomes BetMGM’s continued support, recognizing the immense value and excitement it brings to the sport. Adam Perfect, Head of Commercial at the PDC, emphasized this sentiment:
“It’s brilliant that BetMGM is running this initiative again for this year’s Premier League. It went down really well with the players last year and the fact we saw five nine-darters across the 17 weeks of action shows how much of an added incentive it was.”
BetMGM shares this enthusiasm, as echoed by Brand Director Dan Towse:
“With five nine-darters, the standard we saw in last year’s BetMGM Premier League was absolutely unbelievable, and we felt it was only right to once again reward the eight players if they can thrill the crowds by hitting more in 2026. We were really happy with the feedback we received from the players last year about the £30,000 18ct gold darts and they act as a really interesting subplot in what is set to be another brilliant tournament.”
This strong partnership ensures that the 2026 Premier League Darts will not only deliver world-class competition but also feature an exciting “subplot” that could see several players walk away with an extraordinary memento of their ultimate darting achievement.
