On Thursday, 21/5/2026, the Premier League Darts heads to Sheffield, England, for its final regular night before the play-offs. The die is already cast and the four players for Finals Night are confirmed: Luke Littler, Jonny Clayton, Luke Humphries, and Gerwyn Price. With no jeopardy left regarding qualification, this last regular night is solely about who takes the nightly win.
Since the introduction of the current format, Sheffield has seen various winners. In 2022, Gerwyn Price defeated Michael van Gerwen 6-5 in a tense final. A year later, 'The Iceman' again reached the final but lost 6-3 to Michael Smith. Smith repeated the feat in 2024 by beating Luke Humphries 6-3. Last year, Luke Littler triumphed for the first time by dispatching his namesake 6-3.
The schedule for Night 16 at the Utilita Arena Sheffield (from 7:00 PM) features quarter-finals: Luke Littler v Josh Rock, Luke Humphries v Michael van Gerwen, Jonny Clayton v Stephen Bunting, and Gerwyn Price v Gian van Veen. Littler has locked up first place with 41 points, seven more than second-placed Clayton. Rock sits bottom and cannot climb, but recently won the Austrian Darts Open and will aim for his first nightly win of the campaign.
Humphries and Price are level on points and will battle to finish third instead of fourth, avoiding Luke Littler in the semi-finals. Van Gerwen, fifth and out of play-off contention, will want to sign off on a high. Clayton, second and ten points clear of Price and Humphries, is playing for momentum ahead of Finals Night at The O2. Bunting, seventh, can neither drop nor climb. Van Veen, sixth and level with Van Gerwen, seeks his first weekly title and a higher finish in his debut season.
