The 18-year-old star has since taken the darts world by storm and comes into this year's competition as the world champion.

Littler later won the Premier League Darts in 2024 and the PDC World Championship in 2025, putting him second in the world, despite only making his debut at the end of 2023.

The teenage sensation will face his opponent from January's final Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-final on night one.
