Most Premier League Darts Matches Played
Raymond van Barneveld (211)
Barney, as a consequence of his record number of appearances in the competition, also comes out on top of the list for the most matches played in Premier League Darts history.
Van Barneveld has featured in a total of 211 matches, three more than Taylor who is second on the list with 208.
Longest Unbeaten Run in Premier League Darts
Phil Taylor - 44 matches (2005 - 2008)
Phil Taylor's record of 44 unbeaten matches between 2005 and 2008 is unlikely to ever be beaten.
The Power demolished all who stood in front of him as he won all four of the opening four editions of the Premier League Darts, losing his first ever match en-route to his fourth tournament success in 2008.
It was James Wade who broke his unbeaten record with an 8-6 success on his tournament debut, but Taylor had the last laugh, prevailing victorious 14-8 in the final a couple of months later.
Biggest Premier League Darts Victories
League Stage:
Phil Taylor 11-1 Wayne Mardle (2005)
Phil Taylor 11-1 Peter Manley (2005)
The opening year of the tournament saw players partake in all 12 legs of their group stage matches, as opposed to ending once a player had reached seven legs.
This meant that Phil Taylor was able to dish out a couple of hidings against Wayne Mardle and Peter Manley, both of whom were on the end of mammoth 11-1 defeats.
Playoff Stage:
Phil Taylor 16-4 Colin Lloyd (2005 Final)
Phil Taylor's prolific nature continued in the 2005 final as he blew Colin Lloyd away yet again, romping home to a resounding 16-4 success.
It's a result that remains the most lopsided triumph in Premier League Darts group stage history, and one that will likely not be broken given the new, shorter format of the competition.
Most Individual Premier League Darts 180s in a Match
12 - Luke Littler (2026)
11 - Gary Anderson v Simon Whitlock (2011)
11- Jose de Sousa v Nathan Aspinall (2021)
Luke 'The Nuke' Littler is the record holder with most 180s in a single match, after he hit an incredible 12 in his 2026 final win against Luke Humphries.
Gary Anderson is second on the list after he rattled home eight maximums as he notched a 103.51 average en-route to winning the competition for the first time.
Jose de Sousa has since matched that tally however, scoring 11 perfect visits of his own in an 8-3 success over Nathan Aspinall in 2021.

Most 100+ Averages in a Premier League Darts Campaign
20 - Gerwyn Price (2023)
The introduction of a new Premier League format in 2022 provided players with more matches to participate in over the course of the season and yet the standard of tungsten has remained incredible.
Gerwyn Price was at his sensational best in 2023, chalking up a mammoth 20 100+ averages over the 17 nights.
The Iceman is tied with 2026 champion Luke Littler who also notched 20 during his second title campaign.
Highest Premier League Darts Match Average
123.40 - Michael van Gerwen (2016)
Michael van Gerwen broke the world record TV average in 2016 after ending on 123.40 as he beat Michael Smith in the Premier League.
The record was previously held by Phil Taylor, who managed 118.66 against Kevin Painter at the 2010 UK Open, but that was blown away by Van Gerwen, who stormed to a 7-1 win over Smith in Aberdeen.

Highest Premier League Darts Group Stage Average
107.95 - Phil Taylor (2012)
Phil Taylor was simply imperious as he surged to top spot in the group stages in 2012, averaging a remarkable 107.95 as he registered a table-topping 24 points from his 14 matches.
Surprisingly, his tungsten brilliance still wasn't enough to see him come through the group unbeaten, as he drew two and lost one of his 14 encounters, but his average was still enough to cement his spot at the summit by some distance.
The Power's three-figure average was almost 10 points better than that of his nearest challenger, Raymond van Barneveld, who despite missing out on a playoff berth, averaged nigh on 99 across the 14 nights.
Lowest Premier League Darts Group Stage Average
86.36 - Glen Durrant (2021)
Glen Durrant's defence of his Premier League Darts crown ended in absolute disaster in 2021, averaging a mere 86.36 as he was dumped out of the competition early doors.
Duzza, who beat Nathan Aspinall in the final 12 months earlier, incredibly lost all nine of his group stage encounters, with a leg difference of -39, the worst of all-time.
Highest Premier League Darts Final Average
112.37 - Michael van Gerwen (2018)
Unsurprisingly, it's that man MVG, yet again, who boasts the record for the highest average in a Premier League Darts Final.
As if notching a match, and world record high of 123.40 in 2016 wasn't enough, the Dutch maestro then went and average 112.37 as he brushed Michael Smith aside to capture a third successive Premier League crown - scoring a seasonal high 10 180s in the process.
Premier League Darts 9-Dart Finishes
There have been a total of 21 perfect legs in Premier League Darts history with four players notching more than one.
Gerwyn Price (pictured below) leads the way with five - two of which came in 2025 - whilst Phil Taylor has landed three, with the Power notching two of his in the same match.
Meanwhile, Raymond van Barneveld, Adrian Lewis and Luke Littler have all registered two 9-darters in the tournament's existence.
Josh Rock was the latest player to etch his name into Premier League history, recording his moment of magic in Belfast in February, 2026.
