Luke Littler MBE is one of the biggest stars in world darts and one of Britain’s most remarkable young sporting talents. Nicknamed “The Nuke”, Luke has transformed the popularity of darts through his extraordinary rise from teenage prodigy to multiple PDC World Champion and world number one. After capturing the imagination of millions with his run to the 2024 World Championship final aged just 16, he went on to become the youngest world champion in darts history before successfully defending his title the following year.

Luke began playing darts at just 18 months old and rapidly developed into one of the sport’s brightest prospects. He progressed through the World Darts Federation youth system before winning the PDC World Youth Championship in 2023 and earning his PDC Tour Card. His breakthrough came at the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, where, as a 16 year old outsider, he reached the final and sparked the phenomenon known as “Littlermania”. In 2024, Luke won the Premier League, Grand Slam of Darts and World Series Finals before making further history in 2025 by defeating Michael van Gerwen to become the youngest PDC World Champion. He followed this by winning the UK Open, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix and Players Championship Finals, becoming the youngest world number one in PDC history. In 2026, Luke successfully defended the World Championship, won the Masters and a second UK Open title, further cementing his place among the sport’s elite.
