Find shelter, people because Scotland is about to be hit by a pair of nuclear Lukes as the 2025 BetMGM Premier League explodes in Glasgow.
A total of eight PDC superstars are rolling into town on Thursday night having already got their 16-week battle under way for places on Finals Night at London’s O2 in May. Luke Littler heads the charge as the world champion attempts to defend the title he won in stunning fashion on debut last year when hitting a nine-darter in the Final against Luke Humphries. Of course, it was Humphries who won the opening night of the 2025 campaign in Belfast last week to put down his marker.
The world No.1 and seven-times Premier League king Michael van Gerwen head the hunting pack looking to defuse The Nuke. Rob Cross, Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price, Nathan Aspinall and Chris Dobey make up the field as the elite put on spectacular shows over four months across the country.
Here Record Sport takes you through the schedule and matches for the big night in Scotland.

Best odds: Cross 13/5, Littler 3/10.
