World Darts Championship 2026: Schedule and latest results as Gary Anderson seals semi-final spot

Two-time winner Gary Anderson followed up his last-16 upset of Michael van Gerwen by ending Justin Hood’s superb run, after Ryan Searle brushed aside Jonny Clayton to open the afternoon session at Alexandra Palace on New Year’s Day.

After easing past Kevin Doets, Luke Humphries tonight faces 10th seed Gian van Veen, who thrashed Charlie Manby to book a quarter-final spot.

Luke Littler continued his winning run on Monday against Rob Cross, defeating the 17th seed 4-2 in a thriller despite being booed by the crowd at Ally Pally.

He will meet Krzysztof Ratajski for a place in the semi-finals after the latter saw off Luke Woodhouse.

“I’m not bothered [by the booing],” defending champion Littler, 18, said after beating Cross. “Really not bothered. You guys pay for tickets and you pay for my prize money, so thanks for booing me.

“No one wanted me to win but I proved them wrong yet again.”
