The inaugural Players Championship Finals will be held at the Purfleet venue - the former home of the PDC World Championship - from Friday January 30-Sunday February 1.
The tournament, shown live on ITV4, will feature the top 32 players from Players Championship events held this year, including the local Essex trio of Colin Lloyd, Wayne Mardle and Steve Maish.
Phil Taylor, who won 11 Players Championships this year, will be the number one seed and meets Michael van Gerwen in round one, after the Dutch youngster took 32nd place in the Players Championship Order of Merit ahead of Matt Clark.
James Wade, who won three events and was also a runner-up on three occasions, meets Steve Beaton, while number three seed Alan Tabern opens against Adrian Lewis.
The first round will be played over two sessions on Friday January 30, with the second round on Saturday afternoon, quarter-finals on Saturday evening, semi-finals on Sunday afternoon and the final on Sunday night.
