The 2011 888.com Premier League Darts was a darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation; the seventh edition of the tournament.
The tournament began at The O2 Arena in London on 10 February and finished at the Wembley Arena on 19 May.
The format was a double round robin tournament with the top 4 finishers moving on to the play-offs. Each league match was played over 14 legs. If a player won his eighth leg before the 14th leg, no further legs were played after this point. Two points were awarded for a win and one point awarded for a draw.
Gary Anderson won in the final 10–4 against world champion Adrian Lewis. He is the first player to win the title on his debut appearance and this was the first final to feature neither of the top 2 players from the group stage.
This edition of the Premier League contained the most non-English players ever to compete in the same edition of the tournament at 4.
Mark Webster recorded the worst ever run of matches from weeks 7–11, winning just 6 legs in 5 matches, in a run that culminated in him failing to win any of his last 10 matches and finish with just 5 points and −49 leg difference, the worst ever record from a Premier League season.
