Is Luke Littler playing at the 2026 European Darts Trophy?

Luke Littler has been virtually an unstoppable force in the world of darts over the last two years, with his 2026 UK Open title as the most recent major trophy he's added to his collection.

He makes deep runs in almost every tournament he plays in, making it difficult for other players to make a run at titles.

Luckily for the opposing players, they might have a better chance of winning this weekend's event.

Littler tends to play fewer Pro Tour events overall, but it's become clear over the last year that he doesn't love playing in Germany because of the crowds.

Fans won't have to wait long to see Littler play, as he'll still be in the Premier League every Thursday night, as well as at the upcoming Belgian Darts Open.

In 2026, Littler has already won the World Championship, World Masters, UK Open, Night 5 (PL), Poland Darts Open and the Saudi Arabia Darts Masters.
