Luke Littler Returns at Nordic Darts Masters 2026 in Copenhagen

Luke Littler returns to competitive darts at nordic darts masters 2026 in Copenhagen, making his first appearance since winning his second Premier League title last Thursday. The world No 1 opens against Norway's No 1 Cor Dekker as the 16-player field begins play on Friday.

Littler Back in Copenhagen

The 19-year-old beat Luke Humphries in a last-leg decider at The O2 and averaged 111.67 in that final. That finish sent him into a short break before he comes back into a major World Series of Darts event at Forum Copenhagen, where he is also chasing his second World Series title of 2026.

His return lands in a field built around the top end of the sport. Littler won the inaugural Riyadh Season Saudi Arabia Darts Masters in January 2026, and this is his next chance to add another title before the year builds further. Cor Dekker gets the first shot at him in Denmark.

Bunting Chases Another Title

Stephen Bunting is the defending Nordic Darts Masters champion and will try to become the first player to retain the title in Copenhagen. He beat Oskar Lukasiak, Jonny Clayton, Nathan Aspinall and Rob Cross on the way to last year's crown.

Bunting arrives after consecutive quarter-final exits in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia in January, and he starts this defence against Viktor Tingstrom. Littler and Bunting give the tournament two clear draws on a Friday card that opens the World Series return to the Danish capital.
