UK Open Darts 2026: Luke Littler beats Danny Noppert to reach semi-finals

Defending champion Luke Littler beat 2022 winner Danny Noppert to reach the semi-finals of the UK Open in Minehead.

The two-time world champion and world number one, 19, trailed Dutchman Noppert 3-0 at the start of their best-of-19-legs quarter-final.

But Littler reeled off three straight legs in reply, led for the first time at 6-5 and eventually won 10-6 to reach the last four.

He went seven perfect darts into a potential nine-darter in the 15th leg, but then missed his attempt at treble 17.

Littler is aiming to become the first player to win back-to-back UK Open titles since Michael van Gerwen did so in 2015 and 2016.

The semi-finals and final will be played from 19:00 GMT, with a £120,000 first prize going to the tournament winner.

Littler will play Northern Ireland’s Josh Rock for a place in the final, while James Wade will take on Gerwyn Price in the other semi-final.
