Luke Littler is back in action at the PDC World Darts Championship tonight as he looks to book his spot in the final four at Ally Pally.
Following his sensational run to the final on debut last year, the teenage sensation arrived as the pre-tournament favourite this time around.
After wins against Ryan Meikle and Ian White, The Nuke was pushed all the way by World No.33 Ryan Joyce but came through in a last-set decider to reach the quarter-finals.
And following the shock exit of defending champion Luke Humphries on Sunday, Littler’s chances of becoming the youngest-ever world champion have taken a huge boost.
Ahead of his last-eight tie against Nathan Aspinall tonight, here’s everything you need to know about his next match, including what time the clash starts and how to watch along on TV.
What time does Luke Littler play today?
Littler will return to the PDC World Darts Championship 2025 tonight as he faces off against after World No.12 Aspinall for a spot in the semi-finals.
Aspinall has twice reached the semi-finals before at Ally Pally and show glimpses of his best darts after an injury-affected season when he strolled past Ricardo Pietreczko to reach this stage of the competition.
Littler is once again headlining the action in the evening session and will take the stage following the conclusion of the Stephen Bunting vs Peter Wright match prior.
While the start time will vary depending on the duration of the previous matche that evening, Littler is expected to be on stage sometime around 8:40pm GMT.
Who will Luke Littler play in the semi-finals if he beats Nathan Aspinall?
Should Littler progress, then he would be in the semi-finals and face the winner of the aforementioned clash between Bunting and Wright.
If he wins that semi-final, the 17-year-old would reach his second consecutive final and set up a contest against one of Chris Dobey, Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen or Callan Rydz.
But speaking ahead of tonight’s clash, Littler was keen to not look too far ahead.
‘I got through and all eyes would still be on me, but Nathan stands in the way. It’s going to be the best man on the night that is the winner,’ he said.
‘I am expecting him to play very well, we have played each other many times, we know how each other can play, but it’s the quarter-finals of the World Championship so may the best man win on the day.’
