Dutch Darts Masters order of play day one: schedule and start times as Luke Littler and MVG enter the stage again

There's no rest on the darts circuit and neither is one welcomed. Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen are back on the same stage for the first time since Ally Pally at the 2025 TOTO Dutch Darts Masters.

The Nuke and his Dutch rival headline the action as the second World Series event of the year takes place at Maaspoort Den Bosch. Van Gerwen won the title 12 months ago and returns having missed the opening tournament in Bahrain last week.

Littler lost-out in the Kingdom in his first outing since winning the World Championship with Stephen Bunting defeating Gerwyn Price in the Final over in the Middle East.

The trio are joined by their five Premier League colleagues to take on eight Benelux representatives in the two-day tournament over Friday and Saturday.

Veteran Dutch icon Raymond Van Barneveld is amongst the challengers as his compatriot MVG aims to go back-to-back on home soil. Record Sport takes you through the games, times and where you can see the action on day one.

Rob Cross vs Richard Veenstra

Londoner Cross had a nightmare beginning to the World Series when becoming the first-ever PDC rep to lose an opening-round game in Bahrain when he was beaten by Paulo Nebrida and he is on a quickfire recovery mission. Veenstra is hoping to make an impact having made a frustrating early exit at the Wolrlds at the hands of Nebrida's troublesome countryman Alexis Toylo.

Nathan Aspinall vs Kevin Doets

Back in the Premier League and in-form last weekend as he produced excellent darts and should have beaten Luke Humphries before being edged out 6-5 in a last-eight thriller. Dutchman Doets enjoyed his best-ever run at the Worlds with a storming charge to the last 16 at Ally Pally beating Michael Smith on the way before
