Gerwyn Price heads to Dublin with confidence for Night Seven of the 2026 Premier League Darts on Thursday, March 19 at the 3Arena. The Welshman, who narrowly lost 6-5 to Luke Littler in the quarterfinals last week in Nottingham, underlined his strong form by reaching the final of the European Darts Trophy in Göttingen last weekend. Those performances confirm a solid start to 2026 for the former world champion, who is competing near the top despite the absence of a recent title.
Price has positive memories of Dublin, where in 2025 he took the nightly win by defeating Littler, Luke Humphries, and Nathan Aspinall in succession, including an impressive 170 checkout against the then world number two. This year, he faces Josh Rock in the quarterfinals—Rock is still waiting for his first win of the season but will be playing in front of his home crowd and eager to spring an upset. With multiple players chasing points and a playoff place, each night is increasingly important, offering Price a chance to strengthen his standings after his narrow Nottingham defeat.
In conversation with the PDC, Price emphasized his calm and focused mindset, stating, “I’m in a good head-space. You need a little bit of luck along the way to win tournaments, and I haven’t had that. If I’m playing well and losing, then fair play to the other player.” The 41-year-old maintains a down-to-earth approach, focusing on performance and enjoyment, adding, “If I just keep doing what I’m doing and enjoy the game, the wins will come.” If he maintains his level, Dublin could once again prove the setting for a success story for 'The Iceman'.
