The 2026 Dabble Darts ANZ Premier League gets underway in Canberra on Saturday, as Simon Whitlock opens his title defence in the Australian capital.
The opening night of this year’s tournament will see the quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final played over the best of nine legs at the AIS Arena, with ranking points awarded each night to form the league table from which the top four players will progress to Finals Night in Brisbane on October 31.
Reigning champion Whitlock kicks off his bid for back-to-back titles against Joe Comito, while last year’s runner-up Raymond Smith faces Brody Klinge, a winner of nine Australian Darts Association Tour titles in 2026.
Elsewhere, New Zealand’s World Cup duo Jonny Tata and Ben Robb will also go head-to-head, as Tim Pusey and Trans-Tasman Championship winner Mal Cuming collide in the tournament’s curtain-raiser.
The 2026 ANZ Premier League will be televised live on Foxtel & Kayo Sports in Australia, through Sky in New Zealand and globally on PDCTV.
