Jonny Clayton became the first player to achieve a second win in Premier League 2026 with a 6-1 victory over Luke Humphries on the sixth night in Nottingham.
This means that in addition to Creighton’s victory in Glasgow Night 3, he has won two of the three finals he has played so far, although he lost to Luke Littler in Cardiff’s Night 5 last time out.
Remarkably, Clayton took the win limping all night due to gout, but the problem did not affect his darts and he won over Humphries, Stephen Bunting and Michael van Gerwen.

Luke Littler won his quarter-final match against Gerwyn Price on night six of the Premier League in Nottingham.
With this win, Creighton pulled away from the leading chasing pack with 19 points and an eight-point lead over second-place Littler with 11 points.
Despite the joy for Creighton, it was a night marred by whistle issues at Motorpoint Arena. The first incident occurred in Littler’s quarter-final match against Gerwyn Price, and the world number one responded by giving a huge blessing to the crowd.

Luke Humphries had the last laugh in Nottingham as he responded to the crowd in style as he defeated Luke Littler in the semi-final of Premier League Night 6.
Humphries also struggled with his own whistling issues when playing against Littler in the semifinals, distracting Littler with match darts before ultimately clinching the match and puckering his ears in the direction of the crowd.
“I wasn’t expecting much tonight. I have gout in my ankle and it was a little difficult walking tonight,” Clayton told Sky Sports.
“From the looks of it, my arm was fine, that’s all that matters.
“Every time I sit down, they get stiff, so I’ve been practicing to keep them on. This is the most practice I’ve ever practiced. I’m scared to take them off.”

Johnny Clayton said he was impressed to win in Nottingham as he had been suffering from gout in his ankle.
Clayton really showed his mettle in the finals, surprising the No. 2 player in the world. The doubles success rate was 67 per cent, while Humphries’ success rate was 13 per cent, showing a clear difference in the way the darts landed.
After Creighton raced to a 2-0 lead, Humphries had the only bright moment with a silky 121 checkout. But that would be his only game.
From there, Creighton found a second slow break with a top-draw 146 checkout to take a 4-1 lead, and broke again in the seventh leg for a 6-1 victory in D16 as Humphries struggled in doubles.
Creighton flies all over Bunting and MVG.
Creighton qualified for its third Premier League final in six nights with a 6-3 victory over Stephen Bunting.
Both players weighed around a tonne on average in this match, and the Welshman had a crucial moment in the eighth leg when Bunting messed up his doubles and Clayton broke a throw to stay on top.
Creighton kept his 100 per cent record intact with a 6-3 win over Michael van Gerwen in the Premier League quarter-finals, but the loss left the Dutchman meaningless since the second night.
‘Ferret’ was down 0-2, but managed to fight back and came out on top with two slow breaks, three leg spins and a powerful double, ultimately clinching the win on D4.
“Everyone’s singing, chanting, booing, or whatever it is, and when you hear that whistle, it’s a completely different noise, so it seems more resonant. It’s as if he’s standing right next to you.”

Luke Littler appeared to make the “0-1” gesture while a walk-on at Nottingham, while Forest lost 1-0 to FC Midtjylland in the Europa League at the same time.
Ritter couldn’t get it, so he hit it back to make it 5-4. From there, the tension rose. Taking a shot on D11 to win the game, Humphries missed, clearly frustrated by the whistles from the crowd, the second such incident of the night.
After missing two more match darts at the top, Littler held the match to the end. But the world number two Littler didn’t lose any power in his throws, snatching a sublime 128 checkout to win and ensure celebrations in the direction of those who had whistled during his previous D11 attempt.
Humphries started the night with a much-needed 6-4 win over Jan van Veen, and the Dutch No.1 is still waiting for a win on the night.
It was a close race between the two, with Humphries’ slow break in the seventh leg proving the difference.
