Luke Littler has won the 2026 Premier League Darts tournament, defeating Luke Humphries 11-10 in a thrilling final at the O2 Arena in London. The victory earned the teenager the top prize of £350,000, while Humphries took home £170,000 for second place.
Littler reached the final by overcoming Gerwyn Price 10-9 in the semi-finals, while Humphries edged past Jonny Clayton in a tense decider. The stage was set for a showdown between the world's top two players, and the match did not disappoint.
Humphries started strongly, taking a two-leg lead and later extending to 6-3 before the break. But Littler fought back to level at 7-7. The pair traded legs until Littler broke Humphries' throw to lead 10-9. Humphries forced a deciding leg, but Littler held his nerve to hit double 20 and seal the title.
An emotional Littler told Sky Sports: "It's been a rollercoaster. After the first four weeks I was bottom of the table, but I picked myself up. There were tough times – I was down bad – but here I am with the trophy." He admitted he considered quitting after a poor performance in Brighton and an incident in Manchester, but his partner Faith Millar helped him through.
Humphries praised the quality of the final, saying: "This is what you do everything for. I was just unlucky today – it was one of the best finals the Premier League has seen."
