How to watch Luke Littler vs Michael van Gerwen - TV channel, live stream details, start time

Luke Littler must beat the best of the best if he is to be named World Darts Championships victor at Alexandra Palace on Friday.

The teen sensation from Warrington has barely broken into a sweat as he made it past Ryan Meikle, Ian White, Ryan Joyce, Nathan Aspinall and on Thursday, Stephen Bunting in the semi-finals. Now standing in the way of the prize he came so close to claiming on debut in 2024 is 'Mighty' Michael van Gerwen.

With a claim to the title of darts' greatest ever player, 'The Green Machine' is vying to make sure it is back-to-back heartbreak in the capital for young Littler so that he can claim the fourth crown of his long, successful career. Here, MEN Sport provides all the details required to ensure you can follow the action as it unfolds...

Littler and Van Gerwen are set to go head-to-head on Friday night at Ally Pally. As the competition has been whittled down to the final two, their match is the only one scheduled.

It means they are not waiting for an uncertain start time after a prior match concludes, and the official start time of 8pm has been pencilled in. Walk-ons should begin just before.

Coverage of the final will commence on Sky Sports Darts and Sky Sports Main Event from 7:30pm. Those with Sky Sports on their televisions can tune in directly through the channel.

For those who stream Sky Sports programmes on NOW TV, the match will be available on the platform.
