Ahead of Premier League Darts Finals Night 2026, the Sky Sports Darts pundits predict who will be crowned champion, who will come through in the big moments, and which player has the most confidence heading to London's O2 Arena...
Emma Paton's predictions...
Who goes in with the most confidence?
I think Luke Humphries has timed his return to form to perfection. Having made the final the last four weeks running it feels like he ended the season as the most in-form player. With successive wins over Littler in week 15 and 16, plus a victory over Price, I think he'll arrive at the O2 full of confidence and ready to defend his title.

Who is your winner?
Because of my previous answer about confidence and form, I'm going to go for Luke Humphries. He hasn't just picked up wins over the last four weeks, but he's been playing to a really high standard. He might not have topped the league but he topped the average charts and after 12 months without a big TV title I think that run might just come to an end on Thursday.
Who will come up with the big moment of the night?
Luke Littler is made for big moments. He's enjoyed them before at the 02, hitting a nine-darter in the final two years ago, so I expect him to deliver again!
Polly James' predictions...
Who goes onto Finals Night with the most confidence?
I think Luke Humphries goes in with the most confidence. He is the defending champion and goes in with some winning momentum.
Who is your winner?
It is so hard to pick. I can make a case for all of them and they have all had brilliant stories coming into it. All four of them could do it.
Let's go with Gerwyn Price because he hasn't won it before.
Who will come up with the big moment of the night?
If Price wins it, he will have to beat Littler and I think that will be a big scalp just because of their head-to-head record.
Stuart Pyke's predictions
Who goes onto Finals Night with the most confidence?
There's no doubt Luke Humphries will be brimming with confidence and belief.
It's only a few short weeks ago that the defending PL champion looked like missing out on the O2 but a brilliant run of finals has taken him to third and he will fancy retaining his title!
Who is your winner?
Luke Littler always seems to produce it when it matters…the big moments on the big stage. It wouldn't surprise me if it is a Littler vs Humphries final for the third year running.
Then it is the toss of a coin!
Who will come up with the big moment of the night?
Littler 2024. Humphries 2025. In 2026...going to go Littler...just!
Rod Studd's predictions...
Who goes onto Finals Night with the most confidence?
Sometimes I don't know what's going on in my own head never mind in the minds of four darts players! I would say Humphries must feel pretty good about his prospects having reached four straight nightly finals. After all he was down in seventh spot at one stage.
Littler never seems short of confidence and has a winning record over the other three and finished top. Jonny Clayton seems very pleased to have exceeded expectations and finished second. Price always has an air of confidence but has lost six out of six to Littler, who is his semi-final opponent.
Who is your winner?
You don't need me to tell you Littler is the most likely winner. The odds do that for you. However Humphries has won nine of his last 12 matches in the Premier League and may be able to repeat last year's triumph. So I'll pick Humphries to beat Littler, as per 2025.

Who will come up with the big moment of the night?
I think Littler will reel in another Big Fish. He has had five Big Fish so far. I love it.
Megan Wellens' predictions...
Who goes onto Finals Night with the most confidence?
I have to say Luke Humphries. It felt like he was under so much pressure for a while there when he was searching for a nightly win but then he has found form at what feels like the perfect moment.
He has shown he can battle, and now we know he will fight hard to retain his crown.
There is nothing like being under the pump and coming out on top and that is exactly what he has done.
Who is your winner?
I think Humphries will go back-to-back. Like I say, he has peaked at the right moment and that cannot be underestimated.
He obviously faces Jonny Clayton in the semi-finals who has had such a brilliant Premier League campaign but I think he just clinches that and from there, makes the O2 his own once again.
Who will come up with the big moment of the night?
I am going to move away from the Humphries theme here and say that I think Price beats Littler in the semi-finals.
We know Price has what it takes against 'The Nuke' and I think he delivers that once again on the biggest stage.
