Luke Littler has advanced to the semi-finals of Premier League Darts in Glasgow without throwing a dart after Michael van Gerwen's withdrawal. The reigning world champion will face the winner of Jonny Clayton versus Gerwyn Price in the next round, while Luke Humphries takes on Josh Rock in the other quarter-final match. Sky Sports provides live coverage of all matches.

Humphries enters tonight's match on strong form after claiming his first ranking title of 2026 at Players Championship Four. The world No 2 averaged six consecutive ton-plus scores in his victory and is looking to maintain momentum against Rock, who has lost his opening two matches. Humphries acknowledged last week's defeat to Littler as a setback but expressed confidence in his new equipment and recent performances.

The Glasgow event marks the third night of the 2026 Premier League season, with matches played first to six legs. Littler's walkover represents a significant advantage as he seeks to build on his back-to-back world championship victories. The evening's action gets underway at 7pm with Stephen Bunting facing Gian van Veen, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting night of darts in Scotland.
