World champion Luke Littler will headline a new eight-player line-up, which includes Northern Ireland's Josh Rock, for this year's Premier League Darts as he attempts to dethrone rival Luke Humphries.

Littler, who recently secured back-to-back world titles, will be joined by Premier League debutants Gian van Veen - who lost in Saturday's final at Alexandra Palace - and Co Antrim's World Cup winner Josh Rock, who will get to play in front of his home crowd at the SSE Arena in Belfast on 26 February.

Dublin's 3Arena will host a league night on 19 March.

Littler, defending Premier League champion Humphries, Van Veen and Michael van Gerwen were already assured of places in the 16-week tournament which gets under way in Newcastle on 5 February.

Wildcards Jonny Clayton, Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price and Rock had their spots confirmed on Monday.

The format of the competition remains unchanged with each league night comprising quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final over the best of 11 legs.

Points will be awarded and the top four will contest the finale at London's O2 Arena on 28 May. Humphries edged out Littler 11-8 in last year's tournament
