The Premier League Darts 2026 makes its historic debut in Belgium on Thursday evening, 12/22026, with Night 2 set to unfold at the AFAS Dome in Antwerp before a crowd of 23,000 fans. Michael van Gerwen leads the league with 5 points after winning the opening night last week, defeating fellow debutant Gian van Veen in the final. Van Veen sits second with 3 points, while Jonny Clayton and Luke Humphries are tied for third and fourth with 2 points each. Gerwyn Price, Luke Littler, Josh Rock, and Stephen Bunting all start this second night on 0 points after losing their first ties last week.
The action kicks off with a quarterfinal clash between world champion Luke Littler and world number 2 Luke Humphries at 6:15 PM. Littler, who lost his opener to Gian van Veen last week, holds a 17-10 overall head-to-head advantage over Humphries, including a 10-4 edge in Premier League meetings. Humphries edged Gerwyn Price in his first match last week but then fell to Van Gerwen. Next, at 6:45 PM, night one winner Michael van Gerwen faces debutant Josh Rock. Van Gerwen impressed last week by rallying from 2-0 down to beat Stephen Bunting 6-2, then defeating Humphries 6-2 and Van Veen 6-4 in the final, hitting finishes of 87, 97, 104, 110, and 114. Rock averaged over 101 in a loss to Jonny Clayton, who averaged close to 110. Van Gerwen leads their overall head-to-head 8-4, with a 2-1 edge in major TV events.
At 7:15 PM, Jonny Clayton meets Stephen Bunting. Clayton beat Rock with an average near 110 last week but lost 6-4 to Van Veen in the semifinals. Bunting took a 2-0 lead against Van Gerwen but lost 6-2. Clayton leads their head-to-head 12-8, though they have never met in the Premier League. The final quarterfinal at 7:45 PM pits Gerwyn Price against Gian van Veen. Van Veen reached the final last week by beating Littler and Clayton, but lost to Van Gerwen. Price lost a deciding leg to Humphries last week despite two match darts, but recently impressed at a Players Championship event, sweeping Van Gerwen 6-0 with a 117 average and reaching the final with six 100+ averages in seven matches. Price leads their head-to-head 8-1, with Van Veen's sole win coming in a European Tour quarterfinal last year. The semifinals and final will follow at 8:15 PM, 8:45 PM, and 9:15 PM, with matches to be confirmed.
