Luke Littler secured his second Premier League title in three years with an 11-10 thriller over Luke Humphries. The 19-year-old champion became emotional during his post-match interview, revealing he considered quitting the sport after poor performances in Brighton and following an argument with Gian van Veen. Littler admitted he told his girlfriend Faith, "I don't want to do it any more, just the crowd every week."

Sky Sports pundit Wayne Mardle praised Littler's honesty as a "step forward" for the young player. Mardle highlighted how the Premier League is an "endurance test" for players and expressed admiration for Littler's mental strength. He emphasized the importance of Littler's family support system, including his parents and girlfriend, who travel with him to every event.

Littler's 2026 season includes retaining his World Championship title and winning the Saudi Arabia Masters, UK Open, and Poland Darts Masters. Mardle declared the world number 1 has no weaknesses in his game, comparing his peak performance to legends like Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor. Mardle noted Littler remains competitive regardless of situation, stating "The kid is never beaten until you are shaking his hand and holding that trophy."
