Luke Littler in Scotland - Here's how to see the darts superstar play in the Premier League

The teenaged darts sensation has been announced as one of the four wildcards to play in the darts competition.

Luke Littler is set to play in front of a packed crowd in Glasgow later this year.

He may have lost the final of the PDC World Darts Championship to Luke Humphries, but Luke Littler has arguably become the most famous darts player in the world after his remarkable run in the tournament.

The 16-year-old looks likely to continue to break records in the upcoming year and has attracted an army of new darts fans - with a record breaking audience watching his 7-4 defeat.

And for Scottish fans, there will be a chance to see the new superstar of the game in the flesh, as it's just been announced that he will be joining seven other players to contest the Premier League of Darts, which includes a stop in Glasgow.

Here's what you need to know.

Who plays in the Premier League Darts?

Originally the tournament featured seven players, but that has since been expanded to eight – made up of the top four players in the PDC Order of Merit and four wildcard selections. This year the players who appear at every leg of the tournament are Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith, Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price, Nathan Aspinall, Rob Cross, Peter Wright, and Luke Littler.

When is it coming to Glasgow?

The Premier League's third fixture of the year comes to Glasgow's OVO Hydro on Thursday, February 15, starting at 7pm (doors at 6pm).

Can I get tickets?

Tickets are still available, priced from £32.35 here.

What’s the format?

Introduced in 2022, each night sees an eight-person knock-out tournament, with all seven games played over the best of 11 legs.

The players are guaranteed to meet each other twice in the opening quarter-final matches between weeks 1-7 and 9-15, with the draw for weeks 8 and 16 based on the league standings at that point.

Players will receive two points per semi-final finish, three points per runner-up finish, and five points per final win.

At the end the top four players will contest two knock-out semi-finals, before the final determines the overall winner.
