In the first semifinal, Price and Smith face each other. Price made it to the final match after wins over Danny Noppert (2-0), Krzysztof Ratajski (3-0) and Martin Schindler (3-0). Smith eliminated Callan Rydz (3-0), Brendan Dolan (3-0) and Andrew Gilding (3-0). Both players thus have not conceded a set during the World Grand Prix. Smith and Price have faced each other 47 times. In 24 of the cases, "Bully Boy" was the best. Price won 21 times, while they have drawn twice in Premier League Darts.
Next, Humphries and Cullen will decide who will make the final at the World Grand Prix for the first time in their careers. Humphries made it to the final four with victories over Daryl Gurney (2-0), Luke Woodhouse (3-0) and Peter Wright (3-2). Cullen dealt with Mike de Decker (2-0), Ross Smith (3-1) and Chris Dobey (3-2). Cullen and Humphries have already played 16 official matches against each other. Cullen was victorious nine times, while Humphries was victorious seven times.
How can I watch the World Grand Prix on TV?
The event will be broadcast in its entirety by Sky Sports. On finals weekend, the action gets underway later at around 8pm local time.

How much prize money is there to earn?
The prize fund includes £600,000 in prize money. This makes the prize fund now almost sixteen times larger than when the tournament started in 1998. Back then, "only" £38,000 was made available by the PDC.
All participants will receive 7,500 pounds of prize money credited to their ranking anyway. This amount can eventually add up to a grand prize of £120,000 for the winner of the tournament.

- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
