6 Mar
Summary
- Luke Littler achieved a career-best performance in the Premier League.
- He secured his first nightly title of the 2026 PL season.
- Littler's final match featured high averages and dramatic checkouts.
Luke Littler experienced a memorable night in Cardiff, marking a significant breakthrough in the 2026 Premier League of Darts. Despite recent dominance in other events, Littler's Premier League campaign started slowly, but this changed dramatically on Thursday. He played three exceptional matches, culminating in a final victory that represented his best-ever Premier League night.
His performance escalated in the semifinal against Gerwyn Price, where Littler achieved an impressive 111.05 average and a 67% checkout rate, sealing the win with a 170 checkout. The final match against Clayton was a high-octane affair, with both players averaging over 100. Littler hit a second 170 checkout and nearly achieved a nine-dart leg in the seventh leg.
Ultimately, Littler won three consecutive legs to secure his first nightly title of the 2026 Premier League season. His next Premier League fixture is against Price on Night 6, but he will also compete in the 2026 UK Open this weekend.
