Luke Littler v Mensur Suljovic live stream | World Darts Championship 2025/26 Preview
Luke Littler resumes the defence of his World Darts Championship title with a Third Round showdown against Mensur Suljovic at Alexandra Palace on Saturday.
Top seed and reigning champion Littler puts the world title on the line once again as he comes up against Austrian stalwart Mensur Suljovic.
The 18-year-old is vying to join Phil Taylor, Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis as only the fourth player to retain the PDC world title and cap off an extraordinary year of dominance which has seen him add a further five major ranking titles including the UK Open, World Matchplay and Players Championship Finals.
Littler put down an immediate marker and avoided a huge potential banana skin when he overcame Lithuania’s Darius Labanauskas in straight sets on opening night.
The Nuke had a ten-day break between rounds before brushing aside Welsh debutant David Davies in three sets with a 97 average in the Last 64, taking his unbeaten run to 14 matches in televised ranking competition.
Littler’s last defeat in a major came at the hands of James Wade in the second round of the European Championship in October and it looks like taking something special for anyone to halt this relentless winning run.
Bidding to tear up the script and complete a monumental upset is veteran Suljovic – who remains Austria’s finest darting export, having won the Champions League of Darts in 2017 before finishing runner-up at the World Matchplay the following year.
He has suffered a sharp fall down the rankings in recent years but has enjoyed a welcome resurgence on the sport’s biggest stage, recording successive 3-1 wins over Canada’s David Cameron and former Premier League finalist Joe Cullen.
The 53-year-old is renowned for his unorthodox style and methodical approach to the oche, something which visibly irked Cullen in their second round contest, with ‘The Rockstar’ accusing Suljovic of “cheating”.
All the stats point towards a landslide win for Littler – who is yet to drop a set and has a tournament average of 99.4 to Suljovic’s 88.4.
The match gets under way from around 8.40pm GMT and will be contested over the best of seven sets, with either 16th seed Damon Heta or 2018 World Champion Rob Cross awaiting the winner in the Last 16.
