Luke Littler came desperately close to winning the World Darts Championship title, and the teenager's run to the final has earned him a spot in the prestigious Premier League

All eyes were on Luke Littler when the teenage darts sensation reached the final of the World Championships, and his new and old fans alike will be eagerly awaiting his Premier League Darts debut.

Littler was just 16 when he made his incredible run at Alexandra Palace, beating the likes of Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross en route to the final. He came up short against Luke Humphries, but still earned a career-best payday for getting as far as he did, and now has an immediate chance for revenge against Humphries in Cardiff.

The Warrington star, now 17, has the chance to better that £200,000 prize if he goes all the way on his Premier League darts debut. There's a top prize of £275,000 at stake, as well as weekly prizes, with a total pool of £1million to be split between the eight competitors.

Littler earned his place off the back of his Ally Pally run, describing it as the "opportunity of a lifetime". Here, Mirror Sport gives you the lowdown on how you can watch Littler's debut.

What has Luke Littler said?

“It will be right up my street and I can't wait," Littler said after earning his spot. "Obviously Manchester and Liverpool are very close to my home town (Warrington) and I'm looking forward to the magnificent Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Cardiff, Brighton... it's going to be an amazing experience.

“Playing darts week in, week out, in front of tens of thousands of fans, against the world's best players, is a dream come true. I'm looking forward to the Mercedes-Benz arena – it's massive and they have a nice crowd over there in Germany.

“It might be lively in Cardiff if I end up playing Gezzy there on the opening night when he gets the crowd on his side but it will be an amazing experience and a good test for myself. But that's the nature of the Premier League – I've just got to do what I do and show why I'm there every week.”
