The Premier League Darts heads to Berlin this Thursday for Night 9 of the competition, bringing a slight but crucial change to the usual schedule. Matches at the Uber Arena will commence an hour earlier than usual, with the first game starting at 6:00 p.m. local time instead of the traditional 7:00 p.m. kickoff.
Why the Schedule Change?
The shift accommodates local logistics in Germany, ensuring smooth operations for players and fans alike. Despite the adjustment, the stakes remain high, with a £10,000 bonus awaiting the night’s winner, adding further intensity to the battle for the weekly crown.
Night 9 Matchups & Schedule
| Quarterfinals | Matchup | Start Time (Local) |
|---|---|---|
| Match 1 | Nathan Aspinall vs. Stephen Bunting | 6:00 p.m. |
| Match 2 | Luke Humphries vs. Rob Cross | 6:45 p.m. |
| Match 3 | Chris Dobey vs. Luke Littler | 7:30 p.m. |
| Match 4 | Michael van Gerwen vs. Gerwyn Price | 8:15 p.m. |
The winners of these quarterfinals will progress to the semi-finals and final, taking place later in the evening.
