Is Luke Littler playing at the 2026 German Darts Grand Prix?

With the Premier League of Darts in full swing, Luke Littler is among a handful of players who are having to manage a busy schedule.

The Euro Tour returns this weekend, with the German Darts Grand Prix taking place from Saturday to Monday.

Unfortunately, one of the sport's top names won't be at 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.

He had a rare appearance in Germany last week, as the Premier League was in Berlin. It was a productive night to say the least, as he came away with the night win.

There are no Euro Tour events next weekend, but the Premier League heads to Brighton on Thursday, so fans won't have to wait too long to see the teenage sensation back in action.

Littler was eliminated in the quarterfinal round of Night 9 by Gian van Veen, which allowed Gerwyn Price to close the gap on Littler's league-leading spot on the table.
