Is Luke Littler playing today? Schedule, next match for teenager at Grand Slam of Darts 2024

Luke Littler shot from darting obscurity to almost unprecedented fame in a matter of days.

Never before has a darts player become a household name so quickly, with Littler — an ordinary teenager who grew up in Warrington, who loves kebabs and video games — storming to the PDC World Championship final at the end of 2023.

He eventually lost to Luke Humphries in early 2024. But Littler was just 16 at the time and was barely known outside the world of darts.

Since then, ‘Luke the Nuke’ has enjoyed some more stellar performances that have ensured all eyes remain on him. He won the Premier League Darts and World Series of Darts Finals in 2024 and is among the favourites in every tournament he plays. 

The Sporting News takes a look at the 17-year-old’s upcoming schedule and when he might next win another darting gong.

Littler, though, will already be thinking about the PDC World Championship, which takes place at Alexandra Palace in London from December 15, concluding in early 2025 with the final on January 3. 

Will Littler be able to repeat his magical run from last year, or even go one better and land the world title?
