Premier League Darts prize money
The PDC paid £1.3m to the eight players at the 2026 Premier League Darts, sixteen league nights and a play-off at the end, and the only event here where a payment is earned more than once. Winning it was worth £410,000, and the smallest payment at the event was £80,000.
A player is paid once, for where the season ended. Four of the eight reached the play-offs and the other four were paid for their place in the league phase, so the seven bands are £1,090,000 between them. The £10,000 for winning a night is the one payment here a player can collect more than once, and it accounts for the other £160,000.

What each band took between them
How far each band got
Winning it paid 4.4 times what the eighth band paid. Inside a band nothing separates one player from another: the two players who made the play-offs and lost there were both paid £110,000, whether they lost by a leg or by a mile.
