Who is top of the Premier League darts?

After Night 13, Luke Littler sits at the summit of the premier league darts table with a two-point cushion. His 6-5 victory over Luke Humphries in Aberdeen — featuring a decisive leg — pushed him clear of the chasing pack. ESPN sports news confirmed that Littler “moved two points clear at the top.”

Why this matters

Littler’s lead means he controls his own path to the finals night. With only three league nights remaining, the margin puts pressure on Humphries and others to take wins — or risk missing the top four.

Current leader points and position

  • Luke Littler: estimated 28 points (based on Night 13 result and previous standings)
  • Jonny Clayton: has already secured a play-off spot (ESPN sports news)
  • Luke Humphries: two points outside the top four (ESPN sports news)

How the table works

The 2026 Premier League uses a league stage: after 16 nights, the top four players advance to finals night at The O2 Arena in London. ESPN tournament guide explains that each nightly winner earns points, and the table reflects cumulative performance.

The pattern: the league format rewards consistency over flashy one-offs. Littler’s ability to win tight deciders — like the 6-5 final against Humphries — has built his lead.

Who won the Premier League darts last night?

Luke Littler won Night 13 of the 2026 Premier League Darts, defeating Luke Humphries 6-5 in the final. The match was held in Aberdeen. ESPN sports news reported that Littler’s victory was part of a night that also saw Gian van Veen beat Jonny Clayton 6-2 in the quarter-finals — including a 152 checkout — before losing 6-3 to Humphries in the semis, a match aided by Humphries’ 160 finish.

The trade-off

While Littler took the headlines, Humphries’ semi-final display showed he remains a threat. But his position outside the top four means every point counts from here.

The implication: every nightly win shifts the table pressure, and Littler’s control grows with each victory.

How much did Luke Littler win last night?

The exact prize money for a nightly winner in the 2026 Premier League is not confirmed by the available sources, but the overall prize structure is known: the champion takes £350,000, the runner-up earns £170,000, and semi-finalists receive £110,000 each, according to ESPN tournament guide. Sky Sports later reported that Littler won the overall 2026 Premier League title by beating Humphries 11-10 in the final, with all three finals night matches going to last-leg deciders (Sky Sports darts coverage). That title win would have netted him £350,000.

Littler’s total earnings this season

Given the champion’s prize and his nightly wins across the season, Luke Littler’s total Premier League earnings in 2026 likely exceed £400,000. Whether that makes him a millionaire overall depends on other tournament victories and endorsements — a question we’ll address later.

What happened between Luke Littler and Gian van Veen?

The available match reports from Night 13 show that Gian van Veen and Luke Littler did not face each other directly on that night. Van Veen lost in the semi-finals to Humphries, while Littler won the final. No sources in the research notes mention any altercation or feud between the two players. However, the content plan refers to an “altercation in Manchester” and a subsequent withdrawal. Without a verified source, we must treat this as unconfirmed. ESPN sports news and Sky Sports darts coverage both cover the night’s results without referencing any off-stage incident.

What to watch

If a feud or withdrawal did occur, it would reshape the table — van Veen is a competitive player. For now, the on-stage data shows van Veen still competing in Night 13.

The catch: until a source confirms the withdrawal, the table impact remains speculative.

Who is the richest darts player?

Historically, Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen top the earnings lists, with Taylor estimated to have earned over £7 million in prize money alone. Luke Littler’s rapid rise has made him a potential future contender for that title. After winning the 2026 Premier League, Sky Sports darts coverage described him as “world No 1.” His net worth is not publicly verified, but with a £350,000 Premier League win plus other tournament earnings and endorsements, he is likely a millionaire. However, no source confirms an exact figure, so this remains a reasonable estimation rather than a verified fact.

Summary

Luke Littler’s commanding lead in the premier league darts table after Night 13 sets up a compelling run to finals night.
