Luke Littler Tops 2026 Table, Faces Gerwyn Price at O2 — Darts Tonight
Luke Littler tops darts tonight after finishing the 2026 BetMGM Premier League regular season nine points clear. He now faces Gerwyn Price at the O2 on Thursday night, with the play-offs deciding the title.
The margin mattered. Littler matched his record of six weekly titles and came within two points of his points best of 45, then carried a nine-point cushion into Finals Night.
Littler and Price at the O2
The matchup has been one-sided this year. Littler has won all eight meetings with Price in all competitions, and all eight wins came in 2026 after Price took their first meeting of the year on the World Series tour.
Several of those wins were tight, with about half of them decided by small margins. That is the only crack in an otherwise clean run, and it is the reason this semifinal is more than a table-topping formality.
Humphries Presses Late
Luke Humphries built the late-season push that got him to the O2 by reaching all four of the last weekly finals. He spent most of the season outside the top four, then beat Littler in the last two weekly finals after losing the first two and picked up one nightly title in that run.
His numbers were stronger than the results alone suggest. Humphries averaged over 100 in 10 of his last 12 Premier League matches and in 16 of his last 19 matches in all competitions, including Players Championship 17 earlier this month.
Clayton Holds On
Jonny Clayton also booked his place at the O2, though his route was built on a strong first half of the season rather than a late surge. He has managed one win in the last four weeks of the campaign, yet that early cushion was enough to keep him in the mix.
That leaves Littler as the regular-season leader, Humphries as the late mover, Price as the opponent he has solved every time this year, and Clayton as the fourth man in the field. The 2025 Premier League final went the same way as the expected 2026 final, which puts even more pressure on the semifinals to produce a different script.
