With just two nights remaining before the finals at The O2, the 2026 Premier League Darts heads to Birmingham for Night 15 on Thursday 14 July at the Utilita Arena. The play-off race is still wide open, and every point is crucial as eight of the world's best darters battle it out in the West Midlands.
The quarterfinal lineup features a massive showdown between Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen, both desperate for points. Price sits on 21 points but has endured a dip in form since winning Night 8 in Manchester, managing only a single semi-final appearance since. Van Gerwen, on 18 points, has never missed finals night in back-to-back years, but his inconsistent form has seen him exit in the first round in his last two outings. The Dutchman recently won PC15 with a 122 average in the semi-final against Martin Schindler, his first floor title in nearly two years. In their 59 meetings, van Gerwen has won 38, but Price has taken three of their four matchups this year, including both Premier League encounters.
Luke Humphries faces Stephen Bunting in another key quarterfinal. Humphries, the reigning champion, moved up to fourth after a run to the final in Leeds, but he is one of three players yet to win a night this season. Bunting is five points off fourth and realistically needs a nightly win to stay in contention. The former world number one has won six of their last eight meetings, with the two Premier League matches split—Bunting won in Belfast, while Humphries edged him in Leeds last week.
The opening quarterfinal sees debutants Josh Rock and Gian van Veen clash. Rock comes in off a European Tour title win at the Austrian Darts Open, defeating Kevin Doets 8-6 in the final. Van Veen sits sixth, three points adrift of fourth, and is still searching for his first nightly win despite reaching several finals. They have met 14 times, with van Veen holding the edge, including 6-2 and 6-3 wins in the Premier League this year. However, Rock hit a nine-darter in their Belfast meeting, though he lost the match.
In the final quarterfinal, table-toppers Jonny Clayton and Luke Littler meet with both already confirmed for finals night. Clayton has four nightly wins this season, while Littler has won the last three nights and is eyeing an unprecedented seventh nightly win. They have met six times in this Premier League edition, splitting wins three apiece. Littler has won his last nine matches and will secure top spot with a win over Clayton.
