When Is Luke Littler Playing His Next Match At The 2025 World Darts Championship?
The 2025 World Darts Championship is upon us, with the action already underway at the famous Alexandra Palace in London. Reigning champion Luke Humphries has already booked his place in the Last 16, as has former winner Gerwyn Price. But what about pre-tournament favourite Luke Littler?
‘The Nuke’ began his 2025 World Darts Championship last weekend, defeating Ryan Meikle in Round 2 last Saturday night. Now, the 17-year-old is set to take to the Ally Pally stage for the second time of the tournament for his Round 3 tungsten tussle with Ian White.
This time last year Littler was a relative unknown, but fast forward to now and the best UK betting sites are expecting him to go all the way and even win the coveted Sid Waddell Trophy this time around.
Littler embarks on his second game of the tournament as he takes on veteran ‘Diamond’ in the last-32. This third round tie is the best of seven sets, with Littler unsurprisingly a huge favourite with the best online cash-out betting sites to book his name in the Last 16.

Will Luke Littler Win The 2025 World Darts Championship?
It is impossible to predict whether or not Luke Littler will win the 2025 World Darts Championship or not.
However, it is worth noting that he remains the favourite for the Sid Waddell trophy. Some of the pre-tournament favourites such as Michael Smith and Gary Anderson have crashed out, with Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries and perhaps Gerwyn Price now seen as Littler’s biggest threats.
Humphries is the defending champion of course and current world number one, but it is ‘The Nuke’ who is fancied by the best UK sports betting apps to go on and lift the Sid Waddell Trophy come the New Year.
Whether Littler does just that and goes all the way remains to be seen, but it would certainly take a brave person to bet against him. He has the world of darts at his feet right now, and could most definitely win the Worlds this year, despite being just 17-years-old.
