Luke Humphries Wins BetMGM Premier League Night 14 in Leeds
A thrilling victory for Luke Humphries on Night 14 of the BetMGM Premier League in Leeds has kept his hopes of securing top spot alive. According to a report from PDC.tv, Humphries defeated Luke Littler 6-5 in a compelling final to triumph at the First Direct Arena.
The win marks Humphries’ first nightly victory since Night Four and secures his Play-Off qualification. As a Leeds United fan, Humphries received a terrific ovation on his return to West Yorkshire and delivered the goods to celebrate his third nightly win of 2025. “It was a great final,” Humphries reflected, as quoted by PDC.tv. “It’s been a great couple of weeks for the city, so I’m really pleased to get the win tonight. It’s extra special to win in Leeds. I know it’s not my hometown, but I feel at home here.”
Humphries’ path to the final included successive 6-4 wins over Michael van Gerwen and Stephen Bunting. He then averaged 100.96 to seal his victory over Littler. The world number one overturned an early deficit to deny Littler a record-extending sixth nightly victory of the campaign, completing a 15-dart break to pocket the £10,000 bonus.
Littler, featuring in his eighth nightly final of the season, hit back from 4-3 down to defeat Nathan Aspinall in his opening game of the night. A 104 average saw him power past Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals. However, despite his semi-final exit, Price is now also assured of a top four finish, after the Welshman survived two match darts against Rob Cross to win through a gruelling quarter-final affair.
In other matches, Bunting battled back from 5-2 down to stun Chris Dobey in the last eight, converting a stunning 121 finish on the bull to complete the comeback. However, Bunting’s defeat to Humphries mathematically ended his dreams of Play-Off qualification, while Dobey now must win the final two league nights to preserve his slender hopes.
The BetMGM Premier League roadshow heads to the P&J Live in Aberdeen for the penultimate night of league action next Thursday, as the race for Play-Off qualification intensifies. The quarter-final line-up includes Michael van Gerwen against Nathan Aspinall, Luke Littler against Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price against Stephen Bunting, and Chris Dobey against Rob Cross.
As Humphries looks to build on his momentum, he stated, “My performances have been good over the last few weeks, so hopefully this gives me the confidence to get that elusive Premier League crown that I’ve always dreamed of,” as reported by PDC.tv. With the competition heating up, fans are eagerly anticipating the next round of matches.
