Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton confirmed their places at the Premier League of Darts final night, as the regular season comes to a close next week.

The Welsh duo will be against the English pair of Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, as the latter, along with Price, confirmed their places in the showpiece event at The O2.

Humphries, the reigning champion, turned on the style to triumph at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham, defeating Stephen Bunting, Luke Littler and Price to win his first night at just the right time.

Having reached back-to-back finals in Aberdeen and Leeds, Humphries arrived in the West Midlands in fourth position, and he continued his resurgence by claiming maximum points on Night Fifteen.

The world number two opened his campaign with a six-leg demolition of Bunting, averaging 107.36 to set up a showdown against his great rival Littler in the last four.

Humphries then rattled off six consecutive legs from 3-0 adrift to stun Littler in an astonishing semi-final, averaging 110.98 to end his four-match losing streak against the World Champion.

This set up a crunch clash against Price in Thursday’s showpiece, and after the opening two legs were shared, Humphries won three straight legs in 12, 13 and 15 darts to surge into a 4-1 lead.

Price responded with a three-leg flurry – sparked by a 130 checkout in leg six – to level at four apiece, only for Humphries to follow up a 12-darter with a clinical 117 finish to cap off a perfect night.

Despite missing out on a third nightly crown of the campaign, Price’s run to the Night Fifteen decider ensures he will feature at Finals Night later this month.

The 2023 runner-up crashed in eight 180s to sink seven-time champion Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-finals, averaging 101 to run out a 6-4 winner.

Price then saw off Van Gerwen’s compatriot Gian van Veen by the same scoreline in the last four, converting 66% of his attempts at double en route to overturning a 4-3 deficit.

Van Veen averaged 102 in accounting for Josh Rock 6-3 in Thursday’s opener, although Humphries’ exploits in Birmingham have ended the Dutchman’s hopes of a top four finish.

In the evening’s other quarter-final, Littler confirmed top spot for a third consecutive Premier League campaign, whitewashing his closest challenger Jonny Clayton inside ten minutes.

2021 champion Clayton is now assured of a second-place finish, while Price and Humphries will battle it out for third spot on the final night of league phase action.

The 2026 Premier League continues at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena next Thursday, as the Steel City plays host to Night Sixteen on May 21, before moving to London for the final a week later.
