World Champion Luke Littler will headline The Hyde Park Darts Championship along with Luke Humphries, Fallon Sherrock and Michael van Gerwen in July.
Littler will take to the stage on the famous Great Oak Stage on Tuesday, July 8, with the darting stars joined by special guests Olly Murs, Roman Kemp and former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin.
Littler and Rob Cross played out a Premier League thriller in Rotterdam a few weeks ago
The tournament is part of Hyde Park’s Open House summer festival and will continue Littler’s position as the biggest household name in the sport.
Littler has brought a legion of new fans into darts after winning the world championship earlier this year at the age of 17.
PDC chief Matthew Porter said: “We’re really looking forward to putting on a world-class darts show as part of this year’s BST Hyde Park Open House Festival. It’s an iconic part of British Summer Time and darts is an iconic part of British culture so to bring the two together is a really exciting concept and we can’t wait for what will be a fun, entertaining evening.”
The announcement comes just a day after the Warrington wonderkid suggested he would boycott events in Germany.
Michael van Gerwen hits a sensational nine-darter in Munich at the Elten German Darts Grand Prix
It follows his defeat to Gian van Veen in the German Darts Grand Prix on Monday night after which he claimed he might not feature in another German event until the European Tour finale in Dortmund this October.
“Shouldn’t have been in Munich but had to play anyway,” he said. “Next one in Germany for me is Dortmund and I am glad to say that.”
The latest event adds to an already packed schedule with the World Matchplay taking place at the iconic Winter Gardens, Blackpool from July 19-27.
The tournament in Hyde Park will also feature Humphries, despite the world No 1 concerned that he was playing too much darts.
Littler came close to another nine-darter in the Premier League during his semi-final match against Luke Humphries in Manchester
Speaking after competing in the International Darts Open in Germany earlier this month, he said: “I feel a bit emotionless. I feel like I’m up here and my emotions are all over the place.
“It’s not that I don’t want to be here, it just seems a chore for me at the moment. I’m playing too much.
“I need to give something away, I need a break. It’s not good for my mental state.”
Fallon Sherrock has advised Littler not to listen to social media criticism
Where does the Premier League head next?

Hugo Souza sinaliza melhor goleiro do mundo ao abordar falha em Flamengo x Corinthians
Hugo Souza, em jogo do Corinthians (Rodrigo Coca/ Ag. Corinthians) Hugo Souza, no reencontro com o Flamengo, teve um jogo para ser esquecido pelo Corinthians. Além do placar de 4 a 0, o goleiro falhou no primeiro gol anotado por Pedro, que recebeu uma bola de “presente” do camisa 1. Apesar disso, houve uma lembrança que até mesmo Courtois, eleito como melhor do mundo na posição, também é passível de cometer erros, algo visto na final da Copa do Rei. Neste cenário, situações pontuais de infelicidade não definem o nível de qualidade em campo. “Eu estava vendo a final da Copa do Rei e o Courtois acabou falhando. Eu falei que ele continua sendo o melhor goleiro do mundo. Óbvio que não estou me comparando, mas o erro de hoje não me faz ser o pior do mundo e o […]

WATCH: Giants’ Heliot Ramos hits walk-off Little League home run to stun struggling Rangers
Getty Images The Texas Rangers are in a rut right now, and they have to hope Sunday is rock bottom. The Rangers got walked off by Heliot Ramos and the San Francisco Giants (SF 3, TEX 2) on the Little League-iest of Little League home runs at Oracle Park. The loss was Texas' fourth in five games and sixth in nine games.Here is Ramos' walk-off "homer." You'll understand the scare quotes once you see the play:Officially, that was scored an infield single with throwing errors on pitcher Luke Jackson and first baseman Jake Burger. Statcast says the ball left Ramos' bat at 58.7 mph and traveled only two feet before hitting the ground.

Ramos, after a string of bad errors, had his single turned into a game-winning "home run."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementRamos hit a dribbler back at Rangers closer Luke Jackson, though Jackson sailed the throw well past first base and up the right field line after bare-handing the ball. So Ramos immediately kept going and made his way to third.

Dick Barnett dies at 88: Knicks legend won two championships, made Basketball Hall of Fame
Getty Images New York Knicks legend and 2024 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Dick Barnett has died at the age of 88, the Knicks announced on Sunday. Barnett passed in his sleep over the weekend at a senior living center in Florida, according to the New York Post. Barnett, a 14-year NBA veteran who spent eight years with the Knicks after being traded from the Lakers in 1965, helped lead the Knicks to two championships in 1970 and 1973. Barnett, a lefty, was given the nickname "Fallback Baby" for his unique shooting style that saw him transfer an extra bit of energy upward by pulling his heels to his butt, almost as though doing a hamstring curl in mid air, before letting it fly with a unusually high release and falling slightly back on the follow through. Barnett, a […]
FLAMENGO PASSA POR CIMA DO CORINTHIANS E ASSUME A PONTA DO BRASILEIRÃO
Desde o início, o time carioca impôs um ritmo forte e sufocou o adversário. A pressão surtiu efeito rapidamente: logo aos 5 minutos, Everton Cebolinha abriu o placar aproveitando uma falha da zaga corintiana. A intensidade se manteve e os gols saíram naturalmente. Arrascaeta ampliou aos 34 minutos e, pouco depois, Pedro fez o terceiro, encaminhando a vitória ainda na primeira etapa. O Corinthians voltou para o segundo tempo tentando equilibrar as ações, mas encontrou dificuldades diante da sólida defesa flamenguista. Sem conseguir ameaçar o gol de Rossi, o Timão voltou a ser dominado. Em jogada individual, Arrascaeta sofreu pênalti de Coronado. Após revisão no VAR, a penalidade foi confirmada e Pedro, em sua primeira partida como titular em 2025, cobrou com precisão para sacramentar a goleada. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Foi uma tarde inesquecível para a torcida rubro-negra no Rio de […]
