Luke Littler won the 2026 PDC Premier League Darts title at the O2 Arena in London on the evening of 29 May 2026, defeating Luke Humphries in a best-of-21 final that produced one of the most dramatic finishes in the event's history. It was the third consecutive year the two players had met in the final.
The Result
Littler, 19, came through a hostile atmosphere at the O2 to claim his second Premier League title, having previously won in 2024 before Humphries took the crown in 2025. The final followed two semi-finals in which Littler overcame Gerwyn Price and Humphries defeated Jonny Clayton. The contest produced multiple 180s, ton-plus finishes, missed doubles, and momentum swings before Littler eventually sealed victory.
Prize Money
The 2026 Premier League carried a record total prize fund of £1.25 million. Littler collected £375,000 as champion, a record winner's cheque and £75,000 more than Humphries earned for winning the 2025 final. During the regular season, Littler also won six nightly events at £10,000 each, adding a further £60,000. An additional £100,000 was shared among the other ten weekly winners across the season, including Jonny Clayton who won four nights.
Across all PDC events in 2026, Littler has accumulated more prize money than any other player in the world by a significant margin, continuing a run since his 2024 World Championship debut that has seen him become the dominant force in professional darts.
The Season in Summary
Littler topped the regular league phase after 16 nights with six night wins, 24 matches won and 43 league points, finishing nine points clear of the pack. Humphries qualified despite a less consistent campaign, with a late surge securing his top-four place. The four semi-finalists were Littler, Humphries, Clayton, and Price.
Record PDC Prize Money in 2026
The 2026 PDC season carries over £25 million in total prize money across all events, a £7 million increase on 2025. The World Darts Championship prize for the champion is now £1 million, double the amount Littler received when he won his first world title earlier in January 2026. The Premier League prize fund has increased from £275,000 to £350,000 for the winner across the same period, with the 2026 final paying £375,000 following a further uplift.
