Latest scores and schedule from the Bahrain Darts Masters, where world champion Luke Littler chases a winning start to 2026 and Stephen Bunting looks to defend his title.

All eight PDC superstars progressed to Finals Day after winning their first-round matches, with Littler and world No 2 Luke Humphries delivering stand-out displays against Paul Lim and Abdulla Saeed respectively.

Newly-crowned two-time world champion Littler - competing in his first game since retaining the Sid Waddell Trophy - averaged over 106 and produced a spectacular 170 checkout during his 6-1 win, while Humphries thrashed Saeed in straight legs.
