Luke Littler vs Darius Labanauskas live streams: How to watch World Darts Championship 2026 tie, preview
It was at this tournament two years ago that Luke Littler announced himself to the world and made his indelible mark on darts. He was 16 years old, unseeded and virtually unknown. Fast forward 24 months, and he returns to Ally Pally as both the youngest world champion and the – newly anointed – youngest world No.1 in darts history.
His best hope lies in frustrating his 18-year-old opponent. Littler favors a quick pace, certainly quicker than Labanauskas, so the 49-year-old has nothing to lose by taking an extra second here to adjust his feet at the oche, another there to line himself up, and as many as he dares to on the walk to and from the target in front of a wild crowd.
Luke “The Nuke” heads up a 128-player field in London, aiming to emulate Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson as only the fourth player to retain the Sid Waddell Trophy and incredibly, considering everything he’s achieved in a such a short space of time, he’s in the form of his life.
2022/23 world champion Michael Smith will also feature in the opening session, against Women’s World Matchplay champion Lisa Ashton. Kim Huybrechts vs Arno Merk and Madars Razma vs Jamai van den Herik are the other two ties scheduled.
