German Darts Grand Prix 2026 Roundup | Nathan Aspinall storms past Danny Noppert to seal fourth European Tour title in Munich

Nathan Aspinall claimed the German Darts Grand Prix 2026 title with an 8-5 victory over Danny Noppert in Munich, sealing his fourth European Tour crown with a clinical 128 finish in the final.

Aspinall averaged just over 100 in a high-quality decider, pulling clear in the latter stages after a tense and scrappy middle phase to take control against the Dutchman.

Danny Noppert’s route to the final was built on control and clinical finishing across both matches. He opened the evening with a commanding 6-1 win over Jonny Clayton, punishing missed doubles and steadily taking charge after a scrappy start.

That level stepped up further in the semi-finals. Against Krzysztof Ratajski, Noppert delivered one of the performances of the night, averaging just under 97 and finishing at 50 percent on the doubles in a dominant 7-2 victory. A four-leg burst early on effectively decided the contest, with the Dutchman rarely allowing Ratajski a foothold.

Nathan Aspinall’s path, by contrast, was shaped by scoring bursts and timely finishing. His quarter-final against Andrew Gilding was chaotic early on, with neither player able to hold throw. Aspinall eventually found the crucial moments, taking out 100 and edging clear late on to seal a 6-4 win.

He then produced the standout performance of the semi-finals against Kevin Doets. Averaging over 106, Aspinall controlled the match from the outset, combining heavy scoring with clinical finishing. A 134 checkout proved a key highlight as he surged into a commanding lead, before closing out a 7-2 victory to book his place in the final.

Noppert made the stronger start to the final, holding comfortably in the opening leg, but Aspinall quickly settled, levelling on D16 before breaking throw to move 2-1 ahead.

From there, the Englishman hit his stride. An 11-darter opened up a two-leg cushion, and another break of throw soon followed as he surged into a 4-1 lead with scoring power and clinical doubling.

Noppert responded well to stay in touch, producing a 12-darter and an 85 checkout to reduce the gap, before capitalising on missed chances from Aspinall to level the contest at 4-4.

The turning point came shortly after. With Noppert wiring the bull for a potential 170 finish to take the lead, Aspinall punished immediately, taking out 84 to edge back in front at 6-5.

From there, he did not look back. A perfectly timed 180 helped him move to within one of the title, and when the chance came to close, Aspinall took it in style, finishing 128 to wrap up the victory and secure the trophy in Munich.
