**Luke Littler Secures Top Seed Spot for Premier League Darts Finale**
Luke Littler, the 18-year-old darts prodigy, clinched the top seed position for the 2025 Premier League Darts play-offs with a stellar performance on Night 15 in Aberdeen on May 15, 2025. The Independent and Express.co.uk reported that Littler defeated Luke Humphries 6-3 in the quarter-finals, averaging an astonishing 115.96 to secure his place at the top of the league table, ensuring a favorable position for the finale at London’s O2 Arena on May 22.[](https://www.the-independent.com/sport/darts/luke-littler-nathan-aspinall-aberdeen-darts-premier-league-b2752190.html)[](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/othersport/2055936/Nathan-Aspinall-Aberdeen-Luke-Littler-Premier-League)[](https://x.com/OfficialPDC/status/1923108812120105187)
Littler’s victory, part of a debut season where he’s already won five nightly events, including a record-breaking fifth against Michael van Gerwen, per The Sun, came as Nathan Aspinall won the night, beating Chris Dobey 6-1. Littler’s top spot guarantees him a semifinal matchup against the fourth seed, likely Aspinall or Michael Smith, who are vying for the final play-off spot alongside Humphries and Gerwyn Price, per Sky Sports.[](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34930594/premier-league-darts-live-results-luke-littler-night-15-updates-gerwyn-price-nine/)[](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/34702559/premier-league-darts-live-results-luke-littler-humphries-updates/)[](https://www.skysports.com/darts/news/12288/13363944/premier-league-darts-permutations-as-michael-van-gerwen-and-nathan-aspinall-lead-charge-for-final-play-off-spot)
The achievement was overshadowed by a distressing incident, as Littler’s van was vandalized during a Norwich exhibition on May 16, prompting him to brand the culprits “scum of the earth,” per talkSPORT. Despite this, fans on X, like @SkySportsDarts, celebrated his “astounding” form, with @OfficialPDC noting the Humphries match as “one of the greatest” in Premier League history. Littler’s debut season, culminating in his 2024 Premier League title win over Humphries 11-7, per Wikipedia, sets high expectations for another potential crown.[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Premier_League_Darts)[](https://x.com/OfficialPDC/status/1923107962672869608)[](https://x.com/OfficialPDC/status/1923103142935232893)
With a commanding lead, Littler’s confidence and skill, highlighted by his ability to defy Humphries’ nine 180s, per @OfficialPDC, position him as the favorite to defend his title.[](https://x.com/OfficialPDC/status/1923108478517714983)
