The tenth night of the 2026 Premier League Darts arrives at The Brighton Centre in Brighton on Thursday, April 9, with a crucial all-Dutch quarterfinal headlining the action. Michael van Gerwen faces Gian van Veen in a match that could define their playoff hopes, while table-topper Luke Littler takes on Stephen Bunting. Brighton has been a Premier League fixture since 2007, with breaks in 2016 and 2018-2020, and has returned regularly since 2022. Past winners in Brighton include Van Gerwen (2022 and twice earlier), Gerwyn Price (2023), and Luke Littler, who won the last two years, beating Nathan Aspinall 6-3 in the 2025 final.
The night opens with Luke Humphries versus Jonny Clayton. Humphries, sixth with 11 points, has yet to win a nightly title and reached only one final, where Clayton beat him 6-1. Clayton, third with 19 points, has two nightly titles and another final, though he has lost his last three quarterfinals. Clayton leads their head-to-head 9-7 and has beaten Humphries twice in three Premier League meetings this year. Next, Gerwyn Price meets Josh Rock. Price is second with 19 points after winning Night 9 in Manchester with averages of 103.54, 112.91, and 105.84, while Rock, out of playoff contention, has 4 points. Price leads their head-to-head 7-4 and won their last Premier League meeting 6-0 in Dublin.
In the third match, Luke Littler faces Stephen Bunting. Littler tops the table with 21 points and three nightly titles, despite recent on-stage behavior criticism after a loss to Van Veen. Bunting is seventh with 9 points, having won one night but lost six opening matches. Littler dominates their head-to-head, winning 10 of 14 meetings and both Premier League clashes this year 6-3. The finale features Michael van Gerwen against Gian van Veen. Van Gerwen is fourth with 13 points, having won one night and reached two more finals, while Van Veen is fifth with 12 points, reaching three finals but losing them all. Their only Premier League meeting was on opening night, which Van Gerwen won 6-4; a scheduled rematch in Dublin saw Van Gerwen get a bye due to Van Veen's kidney stones.
