Stephen Bunting Beats Luke Humphries 6-3 in Sheffield — Prem Results

Stephen Bunting handled Luke Humphries 6-3 in the Sheffield final, and prem results now leave the Premier League field reshaped heading into finals night. It was Bunting’s second nightly win of 2026 and his first since night four in Belfast.

Bunting's Sheffield finish

Bunting landed seven 180s and averaged 106.37 in the final. At 5-3, he opened the leg with six perfect darts before closing the match in 12 darts, a clean finish that ended Humphries’ night with more than just a defeat.

The win was Bunting’s final night of the campaign, and it lifted him above Gian van Veen and Michael van Gerwen to finish fifth in the standings. He also delivered the kind of late surge that matters in a cut-down season format, because this result came with the bracket already tightening around the top four places.

Humphries' standings shift

Humphries lost the Sheffield final but still moved up to third overall. That position sends him into a semi-final against Jonny Clayton at London’s O2 Arena next Thursday, while Gerwyn Price faces Luke Littler in the other semi-final.

That setup also kept Humphries away from Littler on finals night, which mattered because Littler is chasing the title he lost to Humphries last year. Bunting’s run through the night added the pressure point in the standings: he had to come from 2-0 down to beat Price in the semi-finals, then held that level long enough to beat Humphries in the final.

Price, Clayton, and Littler

Before the final, Bunting beat Jonny Clayton 6-3 in the quarter-finals after both players averaged more than 100. Humphries reached the title match by beating Michael van Gerwen in a last-leg decider with a 105.24 average, then Littler was pushed aside in a 6-1 semi-final loss after Humphries won six legs in a row.

Littler had averaged 87.89 in his quarter-final win over Josh Rock, and he also missed the chance to break his own record points total and number of nightly wins in the Premier League. Bunting used the last Sheffield night of his campaign to make a direct statement: “I was probably a bit hard on myself. I'm up to fifth! I'm so happy with that,” and, “People wrote me off and said I shouldn't be in it. I want to be in this Premier League for years to come. That was a massive statement from me.”
