I would guess so as they are classed as sportsmen

Couldn't care less what happens to the PL
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Update:

A further four nights of the Unibet Premier League are to be staged behind closed doors in Milton Keynes from September 3-6, replacing the planned events in Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle and Sheffield.

The Premier League season, which has been on hold since March, will return later this month with six nights being held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.

Those six nights - from August 25-30 - will now be followed after a three-day break by the remaining four league nights of the regular season from September 3-6.

In addition, should it not be possible to stage the Play-Offs at The O2 in London with a crowd as planned on Thursday October 22, a further night behind closed doors will be added in Milton Keynes on Wednesday September 2, making Sunday September 6 the Play-Offs.

"We have continued to work with all relevant parties in recent weeks in a bid to stage these four Unibet Premier League nights with a crowd," said PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter.

"As we are still not able to guarantee this and bearing in mind the need to provide clarity for fans with tickets to these events, we will now be staging a further four nights behind closed doors in Milton Keynes.

"We are continuing to work with The O2 in a bid to end the season in style with the Play-Offs in front of a live crowd on Thursday October 22 if practicable, with the option of adding a further night in September in Milton Keynes available should this not be possible."

Fans with tickets to any of the rescheduled nights will have their booking transferred to the equivalent night of the 2021 Premier League, as follows:
Utilita Arena, Newcastle - Thursday February 18
The Manchester Arena - Thursday March 25
The FlyDSA Arena, Sheffield - Thursday April 15
The SSE Hydro, Glasgow - Thursday May 6

Any fans wishing to receive a refund must apply to their point of purchase (the Box Office where they bought their tickets).

2020 Unibet Premier League
Revised Schedule - At August 13 2020
Night 7 - Tuesday August 25, Milton Keynes
Night 8 - Wednesday August 26, Milton Keynes
Judgement Night - Thursday August 27, Milton Keynes
Night 10 - Friday August 28, Milton Keynes
Night 11 - Saturday August 29, Milton Keynes
Night 12 - Sunday August 30, Milton Keynes
Night 13 - Thursday September 3, Milton Keynes
Night 14 - Friday September 4, Milton Keynes
Night 15 - Saturday September 5, Milton Keynes
Night 16 - Sunday September 6, Milton Keynes
Play-Offs - Thursday October 22, The O2, London

We will probably know the 2020 Premier League champ in 3 weeks time!

If they have a contract with Sky to deliver 16 weeks of Premier League Darts plus a play-off night, they don’t have any choice do they?

That's the one. Whatever the thing is, if you've paid for it then you can reasonably expect to receive it.

They may make it look easy sometimes but the PDC are not kings of the world. They are absolutely nothing like it. Some fans always want them to go crashing in two-footed but that's not the real world. That's the one the BDO exists in, barely.

Going to be absolutely overkill. Likely to lose interest by the third night i'd say.

The Premier League in general is overkill. I admit I will probably watch most of it as we have to appreciate what darts we can watch these days though!
