The 2026 Poland Darts Open reaches its climax tonight in Krakow, with quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final all set to be played across one decisive evening session.
Eight players remain, but by the end of the night only one will lift the Euro Tour title. Luke Littler headlines the line-up after rediscovering his scoring power this weekend, while Luke Humphries, Michael Smith and Stephen Bunting all arrive carrying momentum of their own.

With Premier League form bleeding into Euro Tour confidence and ranking points on the line, this is the business end of the tournament.

Here is how the evening shapes up.

Quarter-final 1 – Luke Littler v Josh Rock (18:00 GMT)

Luke Littler’s response to Thursday night’s Premier League semi-final defeat in Glasgow has been emphatic.

After a below-par showing against Jonny Clayton midweek, the world number one has looked sharp in Krakow. A stunning 113.84 average in round two was followed by a composed 6-2 win over Ross Smith in the Last 16, recovering from 2-0 down and averaging just over 100.

Josh Rock, another Premier League regular this season, has had to fight through adversity. He overturned early deficits in both matches so far, most recently beating Cristo Reyes 6-3. Rock’s scoring remains dangerous, but he will need to start faster here.

Quarter-final 2 – Chris Dobey v Michael Smith (18:30 GMT)

Michael Smith continues to search for rhythm in 2026, but there are clear signs of improvement.

He edged Joe Cullen in a deciding leg before defeating Jonny Clayton 6-4 in the Last 16, landing a crucial 114 checkout in that contest. His averages have not been spectacular, yet his timing has been sharp.

Chris Dobey produced one of the strongest comebacks of the afternoon, recovering from 4-1 down to beat Luke Woodhouse 6-5, firing seven 180s in the process. If Dobey establishes that scoring pace early, this could become a high-quality shootout.

Quarter-final 3 – Luke Humphries v Stephen Bunting (19:00 GMT)

Luke Humphries remains one of the most consistent performers across all circuits.

Despite averaging over 103 in his Premier League semi-final defeat on Thursday, his level has remained stable. He survived a partisan crowd against Krzysztof Ratajski on Saturday before easing past Boris Krcmar 6-1 in the Last 16.

Stephen Bunting has been efficient and clinical all weekend. A 100 average in dismantling Jermaine Wattimena 6-1, highlighted by a 136 checkout, underlined his confidence.

This contest may hinge on finishing rather than scoring.

Quarter-final 4 – Gian van Veen v Wessel Nijman (20:30)

Gian van Veen continues to underline his development on the big stage.

Fresh from reaching his second weekly Premier League final in Glasgow last Thursday, the Dutchman edged Nathan Aspinall 6-5 earlier today, producing a crucial 122 checkout before sealing victory on double 16.

Wessel Nijman was arguably the standout performer of the afternoon session, averaging 102 in a dominant 6-1 win over Cameron Menzies.

With both Dutchmen in confident mood, a semi-final place is guaranteed for the Netherlands, but both will believe the title itself is within reach.

Semi-finals follow this evening, before the final crowns the 2026 Poland Darts Open champion later tonight in Krakow.
