World Grand Prix Darts: Luke Humphries to face Gerywn Price in Sunday's final in Leicester, live on Sky Sports Luke Humphries reaches fourth straight World Grand Prix final after beating two-time champion James Wade in semis; Gerwyn Price defeats Nathan Aspinall as he targets first major title since 2022; watch live on Sky Sports+ and Sky Sports Main Event from 8pm on Sunday Saturday 3 October 2026 23:50, UK Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries will look for their second World Grand Prix titles when they meet in Sunday's final of the double-start event in Leicester. Price, the 2020 champion, beat Nathan Aspinall 5-2 in Saturday's first semi-final before 2023 victor Luke Humphries defeated James Wade 5-3 to reach his fourth straight final and set up a repeat of the showpiece game three years ago - when he saw off Price 5-2. A major drought will end either way at the Mattioli Arena, with Humphries going over a year since his last premier title - the 2025 Premier League - and Price's previous elite silverware coming way back in 2022 at the World Series of Darts Finals. - Full World Grand Prix Darts results ahead of Sunday's final - How semi-finals in Leicester panned out - as it happened - Latest Sky Sports deals or stream no contract with NOW - Darts in 2026: Full tournament schedule and winners The final will be best of six sets, with Humphries hoping to fare better than he did in 2024 and 2025, when he lost 6-4 to Mike De Decker and 6-1 to Luke Littler respectively. Price prevails after being frustrated by Aspinall antics Price romped into a 3-0 lead over Aspinall, peeling off two 13-darters and then a 15-darter to sweep the opener before he broke The Asp in the deciding leg of set two. The third set went on throw until the fourth leg, when Aspinall missed six darts to hold, including two at double one, and Price subsequently pinned D10 to move 3-0 up. Things seemed bleak for Aspinall when Price broke in 14 darts at the start of the fourth set, only for The Asp to win back-to-back legs with well-thrown darts at D16 around failed ones before pulling back a set with a stunning 132 finish featuring two bullseyes. The 2022 runner-up then won the fifth set against the throw but Price did likewise in the sixth to move one away from victory and then broke Aspinall twice in a row in seventh set, after being broken himself. Speaking afterwards, Price said he had been annoyed by Aspinall complaining about the rowdy crowd, telling Sky Sports: "I was a upset with him a little bit. I said, 'they're on your side bud, I'm up against it'. "As good as the crowd is for me, they were all for him. He's performing a little bit on stage. I'm good friends with Nathan, but sometimes you've got to let your darts go. It did [affect my game]." Later on, Humphries ended Wade's hopes of a third World Grand Prix crown, and first since 2010, winning the sixth set on throw after the first five had been taken 3-1 by the player throwing second. Wade, who produced the checkout of the game with a 141 in the second set, took the next stanza but Humphries was not to be denied, firing in back-to-back 137s to break The Machine in the eighth set around two holds of throw.
