The World Grand Prix rolls into semi-final night at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester on Saturday, with Nathan Aspinall taking on Gerwyn Price from 20:15 BST, followed by Luke Humphries against James Wade from 21:15 BST.

The tournament, staged at the Mattioli Arena between Monday 28 September and Sunday 4 October, features 32 players — the top 16 in the PDC Order of Merit and the top 16 from the one-year PDC ProTour rankings who had not yet qualified. Luke Littler leads the field and is defending champion, having seen off Luke Humphries 6-1 in the 2025 final, while the top 16 also includes Gian van Veen, Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen, James Wade and Gary Anderson. The ProTour contingent is led by Luke Woodhouse and Kevin Doets, with Cameron Menzies, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Dave Chisnall, Joe Cullen and Rob Cross among the 16 ProTour stars.

The World Grand Prix is famed for its Double In, Double Out format, meaning players must start on a double and end on a double. Formerly held at the Citywest in Dublin, it moved to Leicester when the Citywest was out of action during the COVID-19 pandemic and has remained there ever since.

The schedule has seen first-round play across 28 September and 29 September with two sessions both starting at 6pm, the second round over Wednesday 30 September and Thursday 1 October across two sessions from 7pm, and the quarter-finals on Friday 2 October from 7pm. The final two sessions on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October both start at 8pm, with Sunday's final bringing the week to a close.

Coverage is shown throughout on Sky Sports, while further afield it is available on Viaplay in the Netherlands and DAZN in Germany. For those without coverage, it is shown on PDCTV as part of the monthly subscription package or annually for around £50 a year, which also gives fans the chance to buy tickets.
