All the results, fixtures and schedule from the Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton, where Luke Littler retained his title.

The group stage started on Saturday November 8 and ran until Tuesday November 11, with the second round taking place on November 12 and 13. The quarter finals were played on November 14 and 15, before the semi-finals on the afternoon of Sunday November 16 ahead of the final in which Littler reigned supreme.

Group A: (1) Luke Humphries, Nathan Aspinall, Michael Smith, Alex Spellman

Group B: (8) Chris Dobey, Damon Heta, Martin Lukeman, Jurjen van der Velde

Group C: (4) Stephen Bunting, Martin Schindler, Luke Woodhouse, Alexis Toylo

Group G: (3) Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson, Niko Springer, Beau Greaves

Group H: (6) Jonny Clayton, Danny Noppert, Lukas Wenig, Cam Crabtree

The players are split into eight groups, with the top two from each group progressing.

In the group stage, players receive two points for a win in a best-of-nine-legs contest. The second round is best-of-19 legs, with the quarters, semi-finals and final best-of-31 legs.

To split a two-way points tie for any position within a group, the following process will be used:
- Leg difference
- Group match winner

To split a three-way points tie for positions within a group, the following process will be used:
- Leg difference
- Legs won
- Legs won against throw
- Tournament average
- If still a tie for one or more places, there will be a nine-dart shoot-out between the relevant players to determine final standings, with the highest aggregate score over nine darts being used to separate the players.

In the event a nine-dart shoot-out finishes level between two or more players, those players who have tied on the most points will continue to throw three darts each in the same order until one player scores more points than the other player(s) with their three darts.

From the second round onwards, the tournament will be played in a knockout format, using the following bracket:

The event takes place from Saturday November 8 through until Sunday November 16, live on SportNews.

The tournament is held at the WV Active Aldersley, Wolverhampton, with bumper crowds expected at every session.

Last year, Littler stormed to a 16-3 victory over Martin Lukeman to be crowned Grand Slam of Darts champion, reeling off a spectacular 15 legs in a row.

The winner will take away £150,000, with the other finalist taking home £70,000.

The semi-finalists then get £50,000, the quarter-finalists £25,000, then those who get through to the last 16 walk away with £12,250.

If you come third in the group stage, it is an £8,000 payday, fourth in your group is £5,000. If you win the group, it is an extra £3,500 to take home.

Littler is the most recent winner in 2024, with Humphries claiming glory before him in 2023.

Michael Smith ended his PDC major jinx in 2022 as he held aloft the Eric Bristow Trophy following his convincing 16-5 win over Nathan Aspinall

Since 2007, there have been just nine different winners of the Grand Slam of Darts. Phil Taylor is the most successful in the tournament with six victories, Van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price in joint second with three apiece.

Although there have only been eight winners, 19 different players have competed in the final with the likes of James Wade, Peter Wright and Anderson unable to pick up the trophy. Martin Lukeman was the latest to join that list last year.

England lead the way as the nation with the most winners, five Englishmen coming away victorious, Netherlands with two winners, then Wales and Portugal with a winner each.

Luke Humphries became the seventh player to throw a nine-darter in Grand Slam of Darts history during his victory over Michael Smith in Group A of this year's contest.

Humphries took out 144 to complete his third nine-darter of 2025 and wrap up a 5-3 victory, his second win of the tournament, with the 'perfect leg' the first at the event since Ryan Searle hit a nine-darter to win his Group D match against Nathan Rafferty in 2023.

The first came from Wade back in 2008, with Josh Rock, Dmitri Van den Bergh, Dave Chisnall and Kim Huybrechts the others to do so. No player has previously fired a nine-dart leg at the Grand Slam of Darts and gone on to win the tournament that same year.
