Premier League Darts 2026 Roundup | Luke Littler somehow claims Dublin title with epic comeback from 0-5 down vs Gerwyn Price in Night Seven final

Luke Littler produced a remarkable comeback to win Night Seven of the 2026 Premier League Darts in Dublin, defeating Gerwyn Price 6-5 in a dramatic final at the 3Arena.

Littler, who averaged 95.54, overturned a 5-0 deficit to seal victory with a clinical 81 checkout on double 15, securing his second nightly win of the season and further strengthening his position in the race for the playoff places.

The world champion looked set for a heavy defeat after Price dominated the early stages, but capitalised on a series of missed match darts to complete a stunning turnaround in front of a raucous Dublin crowd.

Littler produced another standout night on the Premier League stage to reach the Dublin final, combining heavy scoring with clinical finishing across both matches.

The world champion began with a high-quality 6-3 victory over Stephen Bunting, edging a contest in which both players averaged over 100. Littler’s finishing proved the difference, converting six of his 13 attempts at double to book his place in the semi-finals.

There, he faced Michael van Gerwen in one of the matches of the Premier League season so far. In a dramatic and high-scoring contest, both players traded big moments throughout, including a sensational 170 checkout from Van Gerwen.

Littler responded in kind, eventually finding his own Big Fish to force a deciding leg before holding his nerve to seal a 6-5 victory and reach another nightly final.

On the other side of the draw, Price delivered one of the most dominant performances of the Premier League season to power into the final.

Price opened his campaign with a ruthless 6-0 whitewash of Josh Rock, with Rock once again unable to get off the mark in this year’s competition. The Welshman averaged over 100 and was clinical on the doubles, converting six of his 11 attempts in a one-sided contest.

He then carried that form into the semi-finals, producing a stunning display to dismantle reigning champion Luke Humphries 6-1. Price averaged 109.04 and dominated from the outset, firing in a flurry of maximums and finishing at an exceptional rate to underline his title credentials in Dublin.

The final began with Price in complete control, the Welshman racing into an early lead as he punished missed opportunities from Littler to take the opening leg on double 18.

From there, Price took over. A break of throw in the second leg moved him 2-0 ahead, and with Littler unable to find a response, the former world champion surged into a commanding 5-0 lead, roaring to the crowd as he closed in on victory.

Littler eventually got on the board with a 52 finish to avoid the whitewash, but Price remained firmly in control at 5-1 and had multiple opportunities to close out the match. Those missed chances proved decisive.

Price failed to take out 72 on double top for the win, before missing further darts at tops in the following leg, allowing Littler to punish with a 76 checkout and suddenly shift the momentum of the contest.

With the crowd now fully engaged, Littler continued his charge, reeling off leg after leg to reduce the deficit before levelling at 5-5 after Price again missed at double. The contest went to a deciding leg, and Littler completed the turnaround in style, taking out 81 with a precise combination of treble 17 and double 15 to seal a stunning 6-5 victory.

Away from the headline acts, Night Seven also delivered several significant storylines in the race for playoff places.

League leader Jonny Clayton suffered his first quarter-final defeat of the 2026 Premier League campaign, going down 6-3 to Luke Humphries. The result not only ended Clayton’s perfect record at the quarter-final stage this season, but also handed the Welshman his first pointless night of the year.

Elsewhere, the difficult campaign of Josh Rock continued as he remained without a win after seven weeks of action. The Northern Irishman was, as mentioned, comprehensively beaten 6-0 by Gerwyn Price, leaving ‘Rocky’ rooted to the bottom of the table as his nightmare Premier League debut continues to prove a struggle.

There was also an early reshaping of the night’s bracket following the withdrawal of Gian van Veen through illness, handing Michael van Gerwen a walkover into the semi-finals. Despite that advantage, the Dutchman was unable to capitalise, falling to Littler in a dramatic deciding leg in the last four.
