  • Luke Littler returns

    It feels like its been an age since Luke Littler stepped foot on the Oche, but he will do so in good spirits.

    The Nuke pulled out of both the Hungarian Trophy and the Players Championship 22-23.

    However, he has two titles in his last two tournament appearances.

  • Darts’ major broadcasting change

    Darts could be set for a major broadcasting change with stars such as Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen moving away from Sky Sports.

    The broadcaster has been airing PDC darts action ever since the inaugural World Matchplay in 1994.

    Since then, the sport has grown into a money-spinning giant after spawning new heroes such as Littler and Luke Humphries.

    But PDC king Barry Hearn has now thrown the future of darts on Sky into doubt.

    The broadcaster’s contract to show PDC darts expires next year.

    And while Hearn is grateful to Sky for keeping faith for the past two decades, he feels his organisation deserves a better deal.
