Luke Humphries says his dreams have become reality after clinching the 2025 BetMGM Premier League title for the first time on Thursday night 29-05-2025.

In a dramatic final at London’s O2 Arena, Humphries toppled defending champion Luke Littler, delivering a stunning mid-match surge to secure an 11-8 victory.

Last year, Littler had claimed an 11-7 win in their final showdown, but this time Humphries flipped the script to carve his name into the tournament’s history.

This wasn’t about revenge, ” insisted Humphries, who overcame Littler’s formidable performance — including a 100.29 average and ten 180s — to take the title.

Luke’s beaten me plenty of times, but I’ve got a few over him now too!
I’ve now beaten him in three major finals, so no one can say I haven’t earned my titles by beating the best.

With this win, Humphries becomes the ninth player to lift the prestigious Premier League trophy, joining the likes of Phil Taylor, James Wade, Gary Anderson, Michael van Gerwen, Raymond van Barneveld, Glen Durrant, Jonny Clayton, and Luke Littler.

I’ve truly accomplished everything I ever dreamed of, ” said the Newbury native.

Winning the World Grand Prix felt like a dream come true, and then I became World Champion just months later.

After lifting the World Matchplay title, this was the only major missing from my résumé.

If I walked away from the sport today, I could say I’ve done it all — but there are still big titles like the UK Open, European Championship, and World Series Finals out there, so I’m far from finished!

Now with 10+ televised titles to his name over the past two years, Humphries has further cemented his place as the top player in darts today.

I hope this victory motivates me even more, ” added the 30-year-old, who believes his best darts are still ahead.

You don’t win this much and just get comfortable. Staying hungry is key.

I’ll be working hard, making some changes to my set-up, and improving my game.

I’m still young — I’ve got time to evolve and raise my level, because if I don’t, the next generation will be right there to take over.
