Reigning Grand Slam of Darts champion Luke Littler will kick-off his title defence with a tasty looking showdown against women's powerhouse Beau Greaves.
The Nuke reigned supreme in this event in 2024 and 2025 and has been installed as favourite to make it a hat-trick of titles this time around too.
However, he will have to navigate his way through a potentially troublesome group stage which includes the best female on the planet, Greaves.
Luke Littler v Beau Greaves Betting Odds
Saturday night's meeting, which will be screened live on Sky Sports, will represent the third time the two will have met in competitive action, with both having registered a victory apiece.
Greaves famously prevailed in the 2025 PDC World Youth Final semi-final, defying Littler's 107.4 average to seal a remarkable 6-5 victory and end the then 18-year-old's hopes of a title reign.
Serial tournament winner Littler went on to avenge that defeat in equally as dramatic circumstances in August when he edged another final leg shootout to seal a 6-5 success of his own at Players Championship 24.
Despite the narrow margins in both of those previous meetings, it's the current World Darts Championship winner who heads into their upcoming Grand Slam of Darts showdown as the heavy 2/9 favourite, with Greaves a potentially appealing 10/3 outsider.
With a maximum of nine legs set to be played in the group stage of this year's event, we are offering 10/3 that the clash -- like each of the two previous clashes -- goes the full distance.
