Watch Luke Littler live streams at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship as the Nuke defends the title he won at Alexandra Palace just under 12 months ago. Below we have worldwide information on how to watch Littler on TV, broadcasters and where you can watch live streams.
In the extremely unlikely event you've never heard of Littler, let us explain. Two years ago, the 16-year-old kebab-loving kid from Warrington took the world of darts by storm and laid waste to established professionals in reaching the 2024 world final at the first attempt. Last year, he went one better and won the world title, beating Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.
Now, the Nuke is back to defend his world crown as the newly installed world No.1 after winning six of eight PDC Order of Merit major titles this season, including the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix – remember, he's 18.
First up in Littler's maiden world title defense is Darius Labanauskas. Nicknamed Lucky D, the 49-year-old from Lithuania will certainly need every bit of fortune on his side if he's to cause the biggest of upsets, but the follicly challenged world No.95 has reached the last eight of the worlds on two separate occasions.
Can Littler continue the road to tungsten perfection?
