Darts tonight: What time it’s on, schedule and how to watch the Premier League Darts
Will Luke 'the Nuke' Littler secure another win tonight?
Premier League Darts returns tonight, with Luke Littler among the players competing in the opening night of the 2026 tournament – so make sure you know what time it’s on, who’s playing, and how to watch it.
Littler is on a fresh winning streak. He may have lost in Bahrain (Michael van Gerwen won the title), but he’s started the year with victories in Saudi Arabia and Milton Keynes’ World Masters.
This Thursday (February 5), eight players will go head-to-head in the first night of the Premier League Darts 2026.
Will Littler win again? Well, you’ll just need to tune in to the darts tonight and find out.
What time is the darts on tonight?
Coverage from the opening night of the Premier League Darts will begin at 7pm UK time on Thursday, February 5.
It’s a 17-week event, so you’ll be able to watch darts every Thursday between February 5 and May 28. The first tournament is being held in Newcastle.
How to watch Premier League Darts
Premier League Darts will be available to watch via Sky Sports in the UK. Specifically, you can watch the tournament on Sky Sports+ and Main Event.
Unfortunately, unlike previous events this year, it won’t be airing on ITV4 and ITVX. There’s no way to watch the Premier League for free, but you can stream the tournament with a day-long sports membership to NOW TV’s sports package.
International audiences will be able to follow the action via PDCTV. You’re out of luck if you’re hoping to watch it without paying anything, though (unless you find a pub that’s showing it).
When is Luke Littler playing tonight?
Luke Littler is expected to take to the stage at 7:40pm for his match against Gian van Deen.
This should sound familiar to darts fans, given the two players faced off at the 2026 World Darts Championship final in January. Littler won 7-1, so Van Deen will be looking for revenge.
Speaking after his victory against Luke Humphries at the World Masters, Littler admitted he was “shattered” but optimistic about what’s to come.
“This is why we battle, every game, every leg, and I’ve come out victorious,” he said.
