Luke Littler and Luke Humphries find themselves back on the oche on Thursday for the opening night of the Premier League.
World number one and Premier League winner favourite Luke Littler (2/5) opens the season against Gian van Veen (2/1) in the standout fixture.

All of the action is shown live on Sky Sports Darts and we’ve picked out a tempting 6/1 accumulator for your entertainment.
Premier League Darts Betting Tips: Night 1
Josh Rock vs. Jonny Clayton
Selection: Josh Rock to win
Odds: 4/6
Reasoning: Rock enters his Premier League debut following a stellar 12 months, including leading Northern Ireland to a World Cup title.
Statistically, Rock’s scoring power has outstripped Clayton’s recently and averaged significantly higher in the floor tournaments leading up to the season.
Clayton is the “returning” veteran, but his 2025 TV average was roughly three points lower than Rock’s.
Luke Littler vs. Gian van Veen
Selection: Luke Littler to win and hit Most 180s
Odds: 11/10
Reasoning: This is a repeat of the recent 2026 World Championship final.
Littler is in “invincible” mode, having just won the World Masters and Saudi Arabia Masters in January.
Littler has averaged over 100 in 23 of his last 28 televised matches.
While Van Veen is a scoring machine (averaging 100.47 in the Worlds), Littler’s 180 ratio remains the highest in the PDC.
Luke Humphries vs. Gerwyn Price
Selection: Luke Humphries to win
Odds: 4/7
Reasoning: “Cool Hand” Luke is the defending Premier League champion.
He has maintained a tournament average of 100+ throughout the recent World Masters, where he even landed a nine-darter.
Price has shown flashes of his best “Iceman” form, but Humphries has won four of their last five major televised meetings.
Stephen Bunting vs. Michael van Gerwen
Selection: Over 9.5 Total Legs
Odds: 10/11
Reasoning: MVG is the king of this format, but his 2025/26 form has been inconsistent.
Bunting, “The Bullet,” has been the most improved player on the circuit, winning multiple ranking titles in 2025.
Surprise call-up Bunting‘s high checkout percentage (often north of 45%) suggests he will push MVG all the way.
This match is the most likely of the four to go to a deciding leg.
Accumulator Price: 6/1
