The second half of the 2021 Unibet Premier League will be staged at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes in May, the PDC has confirmed.
The season will conclude with three nights from May 10-12, four nights from May 13-16 before the Play-Offs on Friday May 28. All the action will be live on Sky Sports.
This means that the Premier League will not have its usual 'roadshow' element for 2021. However, the PDC is still holding out hope of facilitating fans.
"The PDC will continue to liaise with the relevant authorities with regards to the potential for a live crowd in Milton Keynes during the 2021 season, with any information to be announced once available," read a statement.
The action gets underway on Monday, April 5, with the first half of the season being staged in two one-week blocks next month behind closed doors in Milton Keynes.
There are some mouthwatering ties in store for the opening night with repeats of the World Championship final (Gerwyn Price vs Gary Anderson) and last year's Premier League final (Glen Durrant vs Nathan Aspinall).
There are three debutants in the 2021 tournament, with Dimitri Van den Bergh, Jose de Sousa and Jonny Clayton all making their bow.
Meanwhile, former world champions Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright and Rob Cross complete the star-studded field.
