What time does Luke Littler play in Premier League Darts tonight?

Luke Littler is back in action this evening as the Premier League Darts roadshow heads to the OVO Hydro in Glasgow for night two.

Littler put up an astounding average of 113.91 for his quarter-final on the opening night in Belfast – by far the highest of anyone across the evening – yet lost to Michael van Gerwen 7-6 in a thrilling clash.

That match had added spice after the Dutchman criticised the teenager for being late to a pre-tournament media commitment earlier that day, saying: “They need to stop treating him as a baby. He’s not a baby anymore, he’s 18 years old.”

The two men, who faced off in the World Championship final last month, could face off again in Glasgow this evening at the semi-final stage. although Littler will first need to overcome Rob Cross and Van Gerwen will need to do likewise against fan favourite Stephen Bunting.

Here’s everything you need to know about Littler’s first match tonight and the other players set to feature at the OVO Hydro:

When is Luke Littler playing?

Luke Littler will open proceedings in Glasgow this evening, as he faces Rob Cross in the quarter-finals as the first match of the night.

That match will begin at 7.10pm GMT, with Michael van Gerwen vs Stephen Bunting second up at around 7.40pm GMT before Nathan Aspinall against Gerwyn Price (approx 8.10pm GMT) and Luke Humphries taking on Chris Dobey in the last quarter-final from around 8.40pm GMT, which is also a rematch of last week’s final in Belfast.

Should Littler beat Cross, he will face the winner of Van Gerwen vs Bunting at around 9.10pm GMT, with a potential final for the teenager set to take place around 10.15pm GMT.

How can I watch?

You can watch the second night of Premier League Darts action in 2025 on 13 February on Sky Sports + and Sky Sports Main Event, with a live stream on Sky Go and Now TV. The broadcast begins at 7pm GMT.

Premier League format

Each Premier League night has a mini tournament where the eight players start off in four quarter-finals. All players will play each other in the first seven weeks and then again from weeks nine to 15.

The winners from the last eight matches advance to the semi-finals before an eventual final to decide the winner of the night.

Every match is best-of-11 legs with the winner banking five points, the runner-up takes home three points and the two losing semi-finalists each receiving two points.

The top four players in the Premier League table following the final regular season night in Sheffield will advance to the play-offs and finals night in London on 29 May.

How do the play-offs work?

Top of the table will face fourth and second takes on third. The two semi-finals will be played in a best-of-19 legs match.

The winners will then go head-to-head in the final on the same evening, this time over best-of-21 legs, and the first player to win 11 legs will lift the Premier League title.
