Gerwyn Price Stuns Van Gerwen to Claim Premier League Darts Night in Antwerp
Gerwyn Price has delivered a masterclass in precision and composure, taking the win over Michael van Gerwen in a thrilling Premier League Darts night in Antwerp. From the opening leg, Price set the tone, breaking Van Gerwen’s throw with a perfect 180 and quickly establishing control. The Welshman’s early dominance forced Van Gerwen on the back foot, though the Dutch star responded with a 167 finish to keep himself in contention.
The match quickly turned into a tense back-and-forth, with both players trading high finishes and crucial checkouts. Price’s ability to maintain focus under pressure was evident as he repeatedly converted opportunities, leaving Van Gerwen chasing at every turn. By the mid-point, Price had taken a decisive lead, showing why he is considered one of the most dangerous competitors on the circuit when fully dialed in.

Van Gerwen, despite moments of brilliance, couldn’t find a consistent rhythm. A late push saw him claw back a leg or two, but Price’s sharp finishing and strategic scoring proved too much. Two 140+ throws surrounding a perfect 180 showcased the precision required at this level and when Price hit double 12 to close out the final leg, it was clear this was a performance for the record books.
This victory not only gives Price his first night win of the 2026 Premier League season but also moves him up to second place in the overall table, closing the gap on Van Gerwen, who remains top. It’s a significant shift, especially considering how tightly contested this year’s league is. The points system rewards nightly wins and Price’s five-point haul here could be pivotal as the season progresses toward the Play-Offs in London.
The night also highlighted emerging talent, with Luke Littler making a dramatic comeback in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, though ultimately falling to Van Gerwen. Fans have been closely watching these rising stars and their performances suggest the league is set for a dynamic season, full of unpredictability and high-stakes drama.
For Price, this win is more than just points—it’s a statement. Coming off near misses in previous tournaments, his confidence and timing on the big stage are peaking. If he continues to perform like this, he could become a serious contender not only for nightly wins but for the overall Premier League title and the lucrative £350,000 prize awaiting the champion.
