Luke Littler Aims for Nine-Darters in 2026 Premier League Darts

In anticipation of the 2026 Premier League Darts, young talent Luke Littler is setting ambitious targets. Following a remarkable campaign in 2025, where he reached the finals but fell to Luke Humphries, Littler is focused on surpassing his previous achievements.

Record-Breaking Aspirations

Littler made headlines during the last season with a total of six nightly wins, alongside breaking the record for the most 180s. His goal for the upcoming season includes not only beating his own records but establishing a new benchmark for the highest average in a Premier League match.

Targeting a 125 Average

The current record for the highest average stands at 123.4, held by Michael van Gerwen. Littler believes he can achieve a 125 average, which he outlined with a straightforward strategy: a 6-0 victory featuring six 12-dart legs. “I would like to aim for seven nightly wins and break my own record with 180s,” he stated.

The Nine-Darter Challenge

Another point of discussion among players is the possibility of hitting multiple nine-darters during the 2026 campaign. Gerwyn Price suggested that back-to-back nine-darters could become a reality. Hitting a nine-darter earns a player gold darts valued at £30,000, making it a lucrative goal.

Littler’s Goals for Nine-Darters

• Achieve multiple nine-darters in the Premier League.
• Join an elite group of players to win the Premier League twice as a world champion.

Littler expressed his enthusiasm about the potential for hitting nine-darters, which adds excitement for fans. Despite the competitive nature of the league, he remains optimistic about his chances this season.

Littler’s Elite Aspirations

If Littler wins the Premier League again, he will join legendary players like Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, and Gary Anderson, who are among the few to achieve this feat. “This is another list I hope to be part of as the reigning champion,” he remarked.

Predictions and Expectations

The upcoming Premier League season promises thrilling moments as players aim for exceptional performances. With talents like Littler, Humphries, and Price vying for the spotlight, fans can expect exhilarating matches filled with high averages and potential nine-darters.

From February to May, fans will be able to follow the action every Thursday on Sky Sports. The stage is set for what could be one of the most exciting seasons in Premier League Darts history.
