The Premier League of Darts heads to Birmingham this week for Night 15.
Luke Littler and Jonny Clayton have already claimed two of the four play-off spots, but there's still an ongoing race between several players for the last two available spots.

Night 15 match predictions
Here are my predictions for a stacked slate on Night 15.
*Semifinals and final listed below are my predictions based on the quarterfinals
Quarterfinal #1: Josh Rock vs. Gian van Veen
Winner: Josh Rock, 6-5
This is a much more important match for van Veen, but Rock might have the chance to spoil van Veen's play-off odds this week.
Rock is coming off a great weekend in Austria on the European Tour and had some impressive performances in the Pro Tour events this week.
A strong end to the PL season in the last two weeks could be beneficial for Rock, as the schedule will start to ramp up in the next few weeks.
Quarterfinal #2: Gerwyn Price vs. Michael van Gerwen
Winner: Michael van Gerwen, 6-3
Price is in the midst of a slump in the PL, with just one win in the last five weeks.
He's dealing with some off the oche issues, and MVG has been playing more consistent darts, so I expect MVG to go through to the semifinals this week.

Quarterfinal #3: Luke Humphries vs. Stephen Bunting
Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-4
Humphries has been able to put together two great weeks, collecting six points between Night 13 & 14.
Bunting still has a shot to make play-off night, but he'd have to have an error-free night this week, and I'm not sure he'll be able to get past the first hurdle, which in this case is Humphries.
Quarterfinal #4: Jonny Clayton vs. Luke Littler
Winner: Luke Littler, 6-4
Littler has been a man on a mission recently, as he's won 11 of his last 12 PL matches.
Clayton will look to end Littler's attempt at winning a fourth straight PL night, but it will take a vintage Clayton display to overcome a virtually unbeatable Littler at the moment.
Semifinal #1: Josh Rock vs. Michael van Gerwen
Winner: Michael van Gerwen, 6-3
MVG is undefeated against Rock in the 2026 PL, with a 3-0 record.
Every week, MVG seems to be improving, and considering he's in a tight play-off race, I don't think he'll look to mess around against Rock this week.

Semifinal #2: Luke Humphries vs. Luke Littler
Winner: Luke Humphries, 6-5
One of these days, Humphries will take down Littler.
He's done it on several big stages before, but has suffered a lot of losses in close matches against Littler.
He nearly did it in Leeds, and I think we could finally see him do it this week.
Final: Michael van Gerwen vs. Luke Humphries
Winner: Michael van Gerwen, 6-5
This final would be the worst scenario for Gerwyn Price because both finalists would be in the play-off night positions, at least temporarily.
This feels like a 50/50 matchup, but I think MVG will finally get a breakthrough win and allow himself to have control of his play-off destiny in the following week.
Three storylines to watch during Night 15
Here are the main storylines to look out for on Night 15.

Can Gerwyn Price maintain his play-off spot?
Going home with no points this week could be consequential for Price, and a Humphries/MVG final could mean Price falls out of the top-4 after this week.
Can Luke Littler clinch the top spot on the table?
Littler and Clayton face off again this week, and a win for Littler can guarantee that he finishes at the top of the table for the league phase.
Can Michael van Gerwen get back into the top-4?
MVG had a stellar week on the Pro Tour and will look to carry that momentum with him into Birmingham.
