Luke Littler and Gian van Veen go head-to-head tonight in the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship final. History awaits the winner – Littler will be the first player in a decade to retain the title, Van Veen will have his first – and you cannot miss this top tungsten matchup.
Van Veen beat Gary Anderson 6-3 in a semi-final classic that was so close it ended 22-20 in the legs. In the fifth set, the 23-year-old overcame the Scot’s average of 117.4 to win and take a 4-1 lead with “set of arrows from God” as described by commentator Wayne Mardle. The Dutchman is arguably the best doubles player on the tour, but how will he fare in the best-of-15 final?
Littler is good and he knows it. Van Veen is a different character who struggled with dartitis early in his career and is very soft-spoken. The pair met in the 2023 World Youth Darts Championship and Littler won. Revenge or repeat at Ally Pally?
