Littler’s title defence puts World Grand Prix field in focus
The 32-player tournament is scheduled for 28 September to 4 October at Leicester’s Mattioli Arena, with Sky Sports set to show it live.
Luke Littler is aiming to defend his World Grand Prix title when the tournament begins at Leicester’s Mattioli Arena on 28 September. The event is scheduled to run until 4 October.
Sky Sports, which will broadcast the tournament live, identifies Littler as world No. 1. Its preview frames the event as a title defence, with the outcome still to be decided.
The 32-player field comprises the top 16 players on the PDC Order of Merit and the top 16 non-qualified players on the Pro Tour Order of Merit.
The tournament’s double-start format is a point of division among fans, according to Sky Sports. The format will again shape a week-long contest involving players drawn from both rankings.
Sky Sports invited readers to have their say on the winner. No match schedule or start times were included in the source material.
