Darts Tonight: Littler Beats Clayton in Cardiff, Nottingham Night Six to Decide
Sunday at 3: 00 p. m. ET — CONFIRMED: Luke Littler beat Jonny Clayton 6-4 in the Premier League final at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff. Unresolved: whether Littler’s form will carry into night six in Nottingham next week and change the standings; those events will clarify the table and Littler’s momentum as darts tonight coverage moves on.
Luke Littler’s confirmed Cardiff win and back-to-back 170 checkouts
CONFIRMED: Littler, age 19, recorded a 6-4 victory over Jonny Clayton in Cardiff, hitting 170 checkouts in back-to-back games — a fact that also occurred in his semi-final win. Still, Littler nearly produced a nine-dart finish in the final before missing double 15; he sealed the night with a 52 checkout that secured his first Premier League night win of the 2026 campaign and moved him up the leaderboard.
Jonny Clayton’s table lead and contested late legs in Cardiff
CONFIRMED: Jonny Clayton remains top of the Premier League table after reaching the final in Cardiff. Yet, the final featured several contested late legs: Clayton took an early lead with a bullseye finish and later returned to the oche to check out 41 in an incredible leg. UNCONFIRMED as of Sunday at 3: 00 p. m. ET: whether Clayton’s position at the top will survive the upcoming Nottingham night six and the concluding rounds of the UK Open.
Darts Tonight: Nottingham Night Six and the UK Open Sunday to Clarify Table
CONFIRMED: The Premier League roadshow goes to Nottingham for night six next week, and the final day of the UK Open is confirmed for Sunday. Semi-final and quarter-final results from Cardiff provide a baseline for what to watch — semi-finals ended with Humphries 4-6 Clayton and Price 3-6 Littler, while quarter-finals included Van Gerwen 1-6 Humphries and Littler 6-4 Rock. For darts tonight viewers, the specific observable triggers that will resolve current uncertainty are the match results from Nottingham night six and the outcomes from the UK Open final day; those match-by-match results will determine whether Littler climbs further and whether Clayton retains the lead.
Closing: CONFIRMED next event that will move the story is night six in Nottingham next week. CONDITIONAL: If Littler wins in Nottingham, he is expected to rise further in the Premier League table by the end of that night and alter seeding ahead of the season’s final stages.
