CLAYTON GOES CLEAR IN ROTTERDAM – BETMGM PREMIER LEAGUE DARTS NIGHT 11 RECAP
A pulsating night in the Netherlands saw Jonny Clayton extend his lead at the top of the BetMGM Premier League table to five points after picking up the trophy on Night 11 in Rotterdam.
He beat Luke Littler 6-4 in the final to leave the Nuke in second place.
Here’s everything you need to know about Night 11 in a nutshell:
- Night 11 winner: Jonny Clayton
- Runner-up: Luke Littler
- Key takeaway: Clayton’s fourth nightly win of the season is now more than any other player; Defending champion Luke Humphries picked up two points but remains adrift of the play-offs; Littler, Clayton and Josh Rock tied for the most 180s on the night with nine; Neither Gian van Veen or Michael van Gerwen could make it past the last eight on their home night.
Remember: with the latest offers and odds, expert weekly previews, tips, special features and more, the BetMGM Premier League Darts Hub is your front-row seat for the entire 2026 season.
How Night 11 Unfolded in Rotterdam
Night 11 could be a significant night for the top two, as both Clayton and Littler went a long way to rubber-stamping their spot in the top four.
Gerwyn Price and Van Gerwen round off the play-off spots currently, but both failed to pick up any points in Rotterdam.
Price wasn't at the races as he lost 6-3 to Littler, who handled a vocal crowd well, in the night’s opener before Humphries got the better of Van Veen.
Clayton saw off Van Gerwen ahead of Rock’s best win of the competition so far – a 6-1 thrashing of Stephen Bunting.
Littler and Humphries renewed their famous rivalry in the semis and it was the Nuke that just edged out Cool Hand to set up that final with Clayton.
The Ferret squeezed past Rocky, who arguably put up his best performance across a night so far, before triumphing in the final to put daylight between himself and the chasing pack.

THE WINNER’S ENCLOSURE WITH… JONNY CLAYTON
"I watched last week's final against Michael [van Gerwen] back, and it hurt a little when somebody said I was favourite to finish bottom of the Premier League.
"That annoyed me a bit, to be honest. But it's going good for myself so I've got a massive smile on my face.
"It's the grandpa and the young kid! All jokes aside, I've got total respect for Luke. He's absolutely amazing.
"This guy has got years ahead of him, an amazing darts player - and he's shown us all the level we need to be to beat him. But this old dog has got some life in him yet."

The Premier League Darts head back to the North West and the Liverpool Arena for Night 12.
Van Veen and Price get the evening underway, with the Dutchman really needing a win to close the gap to the top four. It is possibly the last-chance saloon for Bunting too as he takes on leader Clayton next up.
Bottom of the table but improving, Rock takes on Van Gerwen, hoping to keep faint play-off hopes alive, before Humphries and Littler lock horns once more to round off the last-eight matches.
