Luke Littler wins World Matchplay darts title for second time with record-breaking average

Monday, 27 July 2026, 06:37 · 1 min read

English teenager Luke Littler, 19, has claimed the World Matchplay darts championship (one of the sport's most prestigious tournaments, held annually in Blackpool, England) for the second time, defeating Welsh player Gerwyn Price 18–9 in a one-sided final. Littler finished the tournament with an average score of 111.04 per three darts, surpassing the previous record of 106.31 set by darts legend Phil Taylor in 2010 — the player after whom the trophy is named. The victory means Littler has now won the World Championship, the Premier League, and the World Matchplay in the same season, completing a sweep of the three most coveted titles in professional darts.
