Littler made it all the way to the final but couldn't overcome World No.1 Luke Humphries on the night.

The teenage sensation did, however, pull off wins against darts legend Raymond van Barneveld and 2018 world champion Rob Cross on his way to the last two.

Littler's performance at Alexandra Palace has earned him a spot in the Premier League - and he will be the youngest ever player to compete in the competition.

When will Luke Littler play in Premier League Darts?

Luke Littler will make his Premier League debut on February 1st in Cardiff.

The teenage sensation will feature on Sky Sports every Thursday night until May

Littler spoke to Sky Sports News about his recent call-up to the Premier League, he said: "It's unbelievable.

"No more development tour. This is it. Playing in the Premier League and comfortably in the (world's top) 32.

"As soon as I came off the stage, did the media and saw the family, my manager pulled me aside and said, 'Do you want to do it?' I said, 'Let's do it, it might not happen again'.

"I'll probably have to take a break maybe from a few ProTours but I knew what was coming as soon as I said yes to the Premier League.

"This is just going to be an incredible experience."
