Littler vs Humphries LIVE! World Darts Championship final stream, result and updates

Littler vs Humphries LIVE!

Luke Humphries fought back to end the fairytale run of 16-year-old sensation Luke Littler and win the World Darts Championship for the first time at a raucous Alexandra Palace on Wednesday night.

Littler, whose staggering progress to the final has captured the imagination of the British sporting public, was one dart away from a 5-2 set lead in a thrilling first to seven showpiece. But the 28-year-old new world number one Humphries stormed back with a succession of 180s and clinical checkouts to reel off five successive sets and claim a stunning 7-4 win and his maiden world title.

Humphries sealed victory with a nerveless double eight to claim the Sid Waddell trophy and the £500,000 winners' cheque. Littler had been attempting to become the youngest ever world darts champion and on Thursday joined Humphries in the latest Premier League Darts lineup for 2024. Follow all the latest reaction to an unforgettable World Darts Championship final live below!
