PDC World Darts Championship 2026 winner odds

Luke Littler is the favourite to win the PDC World Darts Championship again in 2026, according to the latest odds from Ladbrokes.

The teenager became the youngest world champion in history when he defeated Michael van Gerwen to lift the 2025 trophy in January, capping off an astonishing 12 months and truly cementing himself as one of the world's best.

His ridiculous recent form has also seen him pick up the Grand Sam of Darts and the Ladbrokes Players Championship Finals trophies in the space of a week, adding to his World Matchplay and his World Grand Prix.

Luke Humphries is second in the bookies' odds, with the former world number one recently losing his spot at the top of the world rankings to Littler. Gian van Veen and Gerwyn Price follow, currently tied as third-favourites ahead of the 2025 showpiece.

Other notable names backed to have strong tournaments include Premier League players Michael van Gerwen and Stephen Bunting, with the likes of Josh Rock, James Wade and two-time winner Gary Anderson also given an outside chance - but it's the teenage sensation Littler who is odds-on to regain his title.

Harvey Watkins of Ladbrokes said:

Luke Littler was the bookies’ favourite before a dart was thrown last year, and it's no different this time around. Now that he's secured that first World Championship title, there's no reason why he can't become the first player to win back-to-back World Champs since Gary Anderson, back in 2016.

Below are the odds for a select few players to go all the way at the PDC World Darts Championships 2026, with Luke Littler, currently among the favourites to win this year's Sports Personality of the Year Award, the clear front-runner.
