The venue has a capacity of 5,515.

Brighton & Hove City Councillor Alan Robins, the cabinet member for sports and recreation, said: “It is absolutely great news that the Premier League of Darts is returning to the Brighton Centre next year.

“Events like the Premier League of Darts which, as well as being well-attended generate significant viewing figures, can only help build on our city’s reputation.

“Not only will it provide another welcome boost to our local economy, but it will help keep Brighton & Hove firmly on the sporting map.”

Previous stops in the Premier League before Brighton are Belfast, Glasgow, Dublin and Exeter.

The final will be at London's O2 Arena on 29 May 2025.
