With teenage sensation Luke Littler winning the World Championship at just his second attempt, darts is booming in popularity right now. The sport has seen a wave of new fans keen to take to the oche and enjoy the thrilling tension that comes with it.
And the next big tournament is already on the horizon - the Premier League - a title Littler remarkably picked up during his debut campaign last year, aged just 17. The campaign will kick off soon, in Northern Ireland on week one, on February 6. Luke Littler will kick off the defence of the title with a blockbusting match against former world champion, Michael van Gerwen in Belfast. Littler won the 2024 Premier League after a thrilling final victory over Luke Humphries at London’s O2 Arena, which included a nine-dart finish.
