Luke Littler joins exclusive Premier League Darts club after winning second title in O2 classic

Luke Littler’s 2026 Premier League Darts triumph did more than return the trophy to his hands. It also moved him into one of the most exclusive groups in the competition’s history.

After beating Luke Humphries 11-10 in a classic final at the O2 Arena, Littler became only the fourth player ever to win the Premier League more than once.

The 19-year-old now sits alongside Michael van Gerwen, Phil Taylor and Gary Anderson as the only multiple-time champions of the tournament.

That is rare company. Van Gerwen leads the all-time list with seven Premier League titles, one ahead of Taylor on six, while Anderson and Littler now share third place with two each.

Littler’s second title also moves him clear of several major names who have lifted the Premier League trophy once.

James Wade, Raymond van Barneveld, Jonny Clayton, Glen Durrant and Humphries all remain on one title, while Littler has now doubled up after reclaiming the crown he first won in 2024.

His latest success came in fittingly dramatic fashion. Littler averaged 111.67 and hit 14 maximums against Humphries, eventually taking out 54 on tops in the deciding leg after the defending champion had forced the match all the way.

It was the third consecutive Premier League final between Littler and Humphries. Littler won their 2024 meeting, Humphries responded in 2025, and Thursday night’s O2 epic put Littler back in front in their Finals Night rivalry.

For Littler, the wider historical picture is still developing at speed. He is already level with Anderson in Premier League titles and is now the youngest member of the multiple-winners club by a huge distance.

Van Gerwen and Taylor remain far ahead for now, but Littler’s latest O2 victory has already pushed him beyond the one-off winners and into the territory reserved for the competition’s repeat champions.
