Luke Littler vs Luke Humphries – World Darts Championship final: Live score and updates as ‘The Nuke’ takes on tournament favourite in bid to become youngest ever winner and secure £500k pay day

We’re what, three days into 2024? Are we already looking at the sporting story of the year?

So put yourself in Littler’s shoes for a moment.

It’s the morning of the biggest day of your entire life, how do you get yourself in the mood to carve your name in the annals of sporting history?

A ham and cheese omelette? Yeah, same.

Here he is, the man of the moment…

It’s just breath-taking how unfazed this guy is by the whole ‘a couple of hours away from sporting immortality’ thing.

So, what’s the big fuss all about? After all, it’s just two blokes chucking some tiny arrows at a board, right?

Oh you could not be more wrong.

Littler has turned the sport on its head over the course of the last month or so, undergoing a transformation the likes of which nobody would have expected – not even your uncle who claims his mate’s dog’s friend’s goldfish put a fiver on Leicester to win the league in 2016.

Tonight the kid from Warrington could become the youngest ever winner of the WDC in his first appearance.

Don’t underestimate how seismic this is; nobody has done this, nobody thought anyone could get to this point, and it’s pretty likely that nobody ever will again.

All he’s got to do is beat the best ranked player in the entire world. Should be easy right?

Forget the Olympics, forget the Euros – we’ve got THE sport event of 2024 coming your way tonight.

That’s right, it’s the PDC World Darts Championship final coming live from Alexandra Palace directly to your feeds as we take you through what has the potential to arguably be the greatest underdog story in sporting history!

16-year-old unseeded Luke Littler takes on World No 1 Luke Humphries tonight at Ally Pally on his tournament debut. Does it get bigger than that?!

We’re expecting the pair out on stage at around 8.20pm, which gives us a little over two hours to build up to what will be a titanic night of darts that none of us will be forgetting in a huryy, so don’t you go anywhere.
