Littler out to defend world title
Western Daily Press
|November 26, 2025
LUKE Littler has set his sights on becoming the first person in a decade to successfully defend the PDC World Darts Championship.
Littler became the youngest-ever world champion when he beat Michael van Gerwen in the 2025 final and his star has only risen since.
The 18-year-old has won five major titles since then, including the Players Championship last weekend, and has overtaken Luke Humphries to sit at the top of the rankings.
He is the favourite to win a second successive crown at Alexandra Palace and will begin with a match against Lithuanian Darius Labanauskas on December 11.
Only Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis and Gary Anderson have ever defended their title at the Ally Pally, with the Somerset-based Scot winning in 2015 and 2016.
Littler said: “Defending is different. I have won the last few majors and now the big one is around the corner.
