The World Grand Prix Darts tournament is set to move away from Dublin’s Citywest Convention Centre for the second successive year.
The double-start tournament will take place in Leicester at Morningside Arena from October 3-9.
The prestigious event which will move away from its traditional home in Ireland will see 32 of the world’s top darts players compete for a £450,000 prize in the seven-day tournament.
Reigning champion Gerwyn Price and world number two Peter Wright will head up the field alongside five-time winner and popular Dutchman Michael van Gerwen.
Due to Coronavirus, the World Grand Prix was played behind closed doors at the Richoh Arena in Coventry last year.
However, the event is set for an emphatic return in Leicestershire with fans set to turn out in their droves at Morningside Arena, which hosted the Grand Prix of Darts two-years-ago.
PDC Chief Executive Matthew Porter has welcomes recent developments and admits that the event is one of the highlights of the season.
"We are delighted to have secured the Morningside Arena as the venue for this year's staging of the BoyleSports World Grand Prix," said PDC Chief Executive Matthew Porter.
"The venue was a hit with fans and players alike when it played host to the Champions League of Darts in 2019 and we would like to thank them for their co-operation in securing a new home for one of our most prestigious events in 2021.
"The BoyleSports World Grand Prix is always one of the highlights of the PDC calendar, with the unique double-start format providing a challenging element for competitors and extra drama for viewers.
"The Citywest Convention Centre remains part of our plans for 2022 and beyond, and we thank them for their continued support and communication."
The first round will be split across two nights on October 3-4, with the second round taking place across October 5-6.
The quarter-finals will be held on Thursday, October 7, before the semi-finals on Friday, October 8 and the final on Saturday, October 9.
