Luke Humphries looking for consecutive wins as Premier League heads to Glasgow for Night Two
The 2025 BetMGM Premier League season continues with Night Two in Glasgow on Thursday, as Newbury’s Luke Humphries bids to continue his perfect start to the season on Scottish soil.
Humphries produced a ruthless display of doubling to take glory on Night One in Belfast - including hitting six doubles from seven attempts in the final against Chris Dobey, and the pair renew their rivalry in the evening’s fourth quarter-final tie at the OVO Hydro.
The world number one – who celebrated his 30th birthday on Tuesday – also overcame Nathan Aspinall and Michael van Gerwen to register a five-point haul in the Northern Irish capital.
Humphries also lifted the Winmau World Masters title earlier this month and reached a Players Championship semi-final on Monday, although he is refusing to get carried away ahead of his latest tussle against Dobey.
“I really do think this is the strongest Premier League line-up for a very long time,” insisted the 2024 Premier League finalist.
“I have to capitalise on the win last week and make sure I keep pushing and keep striving for better, because this is going to be a really tough season in my opinion.
“When you’re winning all the time you have so much belief and so much confidence, but you cannot take it for granted.
“All it takes is a couple of defeats and the confidence can drain from you, so this is a really good moment for myself, but I have to back it up.”
Night Two of the darting roadshow will begin with a blockbuster clash between Rob Cross and reigning champion Luke Littler, who is searching for his first points of the new season.
The winner of Cross and Littler’s latest showdown will advance to a semi-final tie against Van Gerwen or Bunting, who go head-to-head in the evening’s second quarter-final.
Following his incredible quarter-final victory over Littler in Belfast, Van Gerwen missed a match dart to topple Humphries in the last four, but the seven-time Premier League champion heads to Glasgow in confident mood.
Elsewhere on Night Two, 2023 Premier League runner-up Gerwyn Price takes on former World Matchplay champion Nathan Aspinall for the right to play Humphries or Dobey in the last four.
The 2025 BetMGM Premier League will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK & Ireland, through the PDC's worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and Viaplay, and on PDCTV for Rest of the World Subscribers (outside of the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria & Switzerland).
