Luke Littler will defend his World Grand Prix title at the Mattioli Arena, with the tournament set to be broadcast live on Sky Sports from September 28 to October 4. The world No 1, hailing from Warrington, aims to go back-to-back in a competition that is both loved and loathed due to its feared double-start format.

The 32-player field is composed of the top 16 players on the PDC's Order of Merit and the top 16 non-qualified players from the Pro Tour Order of Merit. All eyes will be on Littler as he seeks to reinforce his domination over the sport in the week-long event in Leicester.

Fans are invited to have their say on who will win the tournament, as Littler attempts to secure another major title in 2026. The World Grand Prix is part of Sky Sports' extensive darts coverage, which also includes the Grand Slam of Darts from November 14-22 and the World Darts Championship from December 10-January 3.

Streaming options are available through NOW with no contract, allowing viewers to watch all the action live. With the double-start format adding an extra layer of difficulty, the question remains: can anyone stop Luke Littler?
