Luke Littler claimed back-to-back UK Open titles with an 11-7 victory over James Wade in Minehead. The 17-year-old sensation, who had previously demolished Wade 11-2 in 2025, faced a tougher battle this time but prevailed to join elite company as only the fourth player to win consecutive UK Open championships. His path to victory included wins over Damon Heta, Gary Anderson, and Josh Rock.

The final started poorly for Wade, who won just two of five legs in the opening session despite Littler's doubling struggles. Wade fought back to level at 7-7, capitalizing on a 12-point average gap, but Littler's crucial second D10 finish in the 16th leg broke Wade's throw and sealed the match. The victory extended Littler's perfect 16-0 record in major semi-finals after his 11-9 win over Josh Rock.

Wade reached his fifth UK Open final but fell short again, having earlier defeated Gerwyn Price 11-8 in a high-quality semi-final. Both players averaged over 105 in that match, with Wade's power scoring ultimately proving decisive. Littler's achievement places him alongside legends Raymond van Barneveld, Phil Taylor, and Michael van Gerwen in UK Open history.
