The 2026 Premier League Darts heads to Antwerp for Night 2 on Thursday, and here we pick out our four best bets.
The 2026 Premier League began in Newcastle last week, with Michael van Gerwen beating fellow Dutchman Gian van Veen 6-2 in the final to top the early standings.
Perhaps the biggest shock came as world champion Luke Littler was knocked out in his opener, losing 6-4 to Van Veen.
Now the eight chosen PDC stars head to Antwerp for the second week of action, which comes quickly off the back of the first Players Championships events of the season in Hildesheim. Here are our best darts betting tips for Thursday night.
Premier League Darts Night 2 tips
- Luke Humphries +1.5 legs vs Luke Littler @ 10/11
- Michael van Gerwen to beat Josh Rock @ 5/6
- Jonny Clayton to beat Stephen Bunting and have most 180s @ 2/1
- Gerwyn Price to beat Gian van Veen @ 1/1
Luke Littler vs Luke Humphries
The world’s top two face off in a blockbuster opener to Week Two of the Premier League and Luke Humphries should not be underestimated in the latest of the many battles between this pair.
Cool Hand averaged 104 in his win over Gerwyn Price in Newcastle and ran Littler close in their PDC World Masters meeting earlier this month, losing 6-5.
Luke The Nuke may not be fully tuned up yet for the new season and Humphries is fancied with a 1.5-leg head start.
Tip: Luke Humphries +1.5 legs vs Luke Littler @ 10/11
Michael van Gerwen vs Josh Rock
Michael van Gerwen rolled back the years with an impressive performance in Newcastle last week and he will be looking to continue his love affair with this tournament, which he has won a whopping seven times.
The Dutchman is fancied to get the better of Josh Rock in Antwerp. MVG has dominated the head-to-head between these two players recently, winning six of the last nine meetings, and he put in some impressive performances in the Players Championships this week.
Tip: Michael van Gerwen to beat Josh Rock @ 5/6
Jonny Clayton vs Stephen Bunting
Stephen Bunting has been struggling of late and that could continue as he takes on Jonny Clayton in Antwerp.
The Bullet lost all three of his matches at the Grand Slam last year and failed to make an impact at the World’s, losing to James Hurrell in the round of 16.
He hit just one maximum in his 6-2 loss to Michael van Gerwen in Newcastle, while Jonny Clayton hit nine 180s across his two games. Take Clayton to have more maximums and win this match.
Tip: Jonny Clayton to beat Stephen Bunting and have most 180s @ 2/1
Gerwyn Price vs Gian van Veen
Gerwyn Price was somewhat unlucky to lose to Luke Humphries in his opener in Newcastle, falling 6-5 to a player averaging 104.
He has a very strong record against Gian van Veen, his opponent in Antwerp, winning eight of the last nine meetings between the two.
The Iceman impressed in Hildesheim in midweek and can get the better of last week’s runner-up.
Tip: Gerwyn Price to beat Gian van Veen @ 1/1
