Night Seven of the 2025 BetMGM Premier League Darts is set to take place at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff on March 20, featuring an exciting lineup that will see the return of defending champion Luke Littler as he faces Nathan Aspinall. The event promises a thrilling atmosphere, with fans eagerly anticipating the action as key players vie for valuable ranking points.
Gerwyn Price, who recently claimed victory over Littler in last week’s final at Nottingham, has proven to be Littler's most formidable foe, having defeated him six times consecutively. Price, currently third in the league standings, expressed his excitement about returning home, stating, "It would be amazing to get a third win in front of a home crowd," showcasing his ambitious spirit.
Despite the setback against Price, Luke Littler is determined to defend the Premier League title he won in stunning fashion last year. The young star recently secured a major title at the UK Open, boosting his confidence. Before the match against Aspinall, Littler mentioned, "I plan to defend my title this year," emphasizing his commitment to maintaining his status as a top competitor in the league.
The evening kicks off with Chris Dobey going head-to-head with Stephen Bunting, who are both at the bottom of the table and seeking their first significant win this season. Bunting has had a rocky start, failing to earn any points thus far. He remarked, "I've seen many ups and downs this season, but I’m looking to come through this round, and climb up the table." Dobey, once a promising contender, has also struggled after a bright start in Belfast.
The popular matchup between Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen is sure to amplify the excitement in Cardiff. Humphries, who recently relinquished his lead in the standings after being defeated by Littler, hopes to regain his form against the former champion Van Gerwen. The Dutchman has had a tumultuous season, with a string of semi-final exits. As Humphries gears up against Van Gerwen, he aims to demonstrate his resilience.
As the evening progresses, the professional darting community will be watching closely how Luke Littler and Nathan Aspinall perform. Littler brings intense heat after winning seven of their last eight encounters, which places him in a favorable position. Aspinall hopes to change that dynamic, as he is also aiming for success in this critical matchup.
Meanwhile, Gerwyn Price is expected to take center stage once again as he faces Chris Dobey. After his recent victory secured him a prominent position in the league, Price is aiming for back-to-back wins in Cardiff. "This is a chance for us to prove ourselves in front of the fans," noted Dobey, who is eager to shed the shadows of early-season performances.
With tomorrow's matches taking place in a best of 11 legs format, players understand the stakes. Championship aspirations are on the line, leaving every match a must-watch situation that darts fans cannot afford to miss. The stakes have never been higher with players chasing early playoff securing top-four positions.
As we approach the latter half of this 16-week battle for playoff spots to the Finals Night at London’s O2 in May, the anticipation is palpable. The passion of the Welsh crowd at the Utilita Arena will undoubtedly fuel the players, especially Price, who feeds off such energy.
Night Seven of the Premier League Darts will be broadcast live through Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, along with streaming options available worldwide through PDC’s partners. The stage is set, and darts enthusiasts are ready for an electric night of competition and drama as the stars of the game seek to secure their place in the finals.
