Premier League Darts Night 9 LIVE: Date, venue, fixtures and full schedule as stars head to Manchester

Luke Humphries is still looking for his first nightly win as the 2026 Premier League Darts enters its ninth week.

Humphries beat Littler in the final last year to get revenge on the now back-to-back world champion and claim glory.

However, the defending champion has claimed just six match wins across the first eight weeks of Premier League action.

It had been a similar story for Littler until March, as he stormed to his first win of the season with victory in Cardiff.

The world No.1 followed that up by winning in Dublin and Berlin to storm to the top of the table after a slow start.

Jonny Clayton remains hot on Littler’s tail, while Josh Rock is still sitting at the bottom despite finally claiming a match victory.
