THE 2018 Unibet Premier League proved to be one of the most exciting stagings of the tournament since its inception, and 2019 promises to be even more unpredictable.
The ten-player tournament will be held across 17 nights from February-May, featuring events in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands and Germany.
With tickets for the 2019 Unibet Premier League now on PRIORITY SALE, we take a look back at the top five memorable moments from last year's event.
5. Anderson Defeats MvG On Home Soil
Gary Anderson confirmed his place in the Unibet Premier League Play-Offs with a win over Michael van Gerwen in front of a passionate home crowd at The BHGE Arena in Aberdeen.
Two-time Premier League champ Anderson was buoyed by his Scottish support to see off league leader Van Gerwen 7-5, firing in four 180s to get back to winning ways after losing his two previous Premier League encounters.
4. Record-Breaking Debut In Berlin
The Premier League enjoyed a record-breaking debut in Germany as 12,000 fans flocked to Berlin's Mercedes-Benz Arena for a historic night of darts.
The sport's increasing popularity in Germany led to night four being held in Berlin, where Michael Smith moved clear at the top of the table after beating Simon Whitlock 7-3.
3. Emotional Gurney's Winning Belfast Homecoming
Daryl Gurney ensured survival with an emotional homecoming win over Rob Cross at The SSE Arena in Belfast as the Northern Irishman made his first big-stage appearance in his homeland.
"It was unbelievable - I knew that atmosphere would be good but the support was amazing. It's the best feeling I've ever had, even better than winning the World Grand Prix last year," said Gurney.
2. Premier League Goes Double-Dutch
Dutch darts fans received a huge boost with an additional Premier League night held at Rotterdam Ahoy on, following the cancellation of night five in Exeter due to heavy snow across the UK and Storm Emma.
Raymond van Barneveld enjoyed took in a heroes' reception on both nights and made it a dream homecoming with wins over Michael van Gerwen and Simon Whitlock in front of two 9,000-strong crowds.
1. Sublime MvG Storms To The Title
Michael van Gerwen produced a sensational performance to retain his Premier League title with a stunning 11-4 win over Michael Smith at The O2, capping another remarkable triumph for the Dutchman.
The Dutch star produced an incredible 112.37 average, the highest in this year’s tournament and the second highest ever in a televised final, to win the Premier League crown for a third year in a row.
