Here we go! The stage is set for the 2026 Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts starting on Saturday 14th November from WV Active Aldersley, Wolverhampton and the 4th year of the event sponsored by Mr Vegas.

We have to open the preview with the key stat that the last four winners of the Grand Slam of Darts have won the following World Darts Championships. Luke Littler won the tournament in 2024 and last year, 2023 saw Luke Humphries lift the trophy and in 2022 Michael Smith beat Nathan Aspinall in the final.

The question on everyone’s lips this year is can Littler deliver a three-peat? The stats are in his favour as this has been done before.

Phil Taylor won three tournaments in a row from 2007-2009, while Michael van Gerwen delivered the same from 2015-2017.

Being world number one, Littler is the 27/20 favourite to win this year’s Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts, followed by Humphries at 7/2.

The world number two will be looking to avenge last year’s final defeat to Littler and reverse his fortunes.

There is a big jump to the next name in the betting, with Gerwyn Price 10/1 to land his fourth Eric Bristow Trophy.

 A player who has had a good year so far at bigger odds is Ross Smith, priced 20/1 to win the title and definitely one to watch. With this in mind, Mr Vegas has a market on ‘to reach the final’ where Ross Smith is priced 8/1 to make the final two.

Looking at a couple of players at even bigger odds, fan favourite Nathan Aspinall was runner-up in 2022 and shared with Mr Vegas pre-tournament that he would love to go one better this year - he is priced at 28/1 to win the Grand Slam. 

Finally, at 33/1, three-time Grand Slam winner Michael van Gerwen can never be underestimated, and when he finds his A-game he will be hard to stop.

Commenting on this year’s line up, Russ Yershon from Mr Vegas said “It’s set to be another enthralling Grand Slam of Darts and with more players on show and 16 groups of three, there is jeopardy for the bigger seeds from the outset. You must start fast to ensure you top the group and qualify for the knockout stages. For the lower ranked players, if you can play your best game from the start, you have a chance to go deep in the tournament”.

At Mr Vegas, we can’t wait to see the new format play out and keep the crowd entertained throughout the group stages. 

Reigning back-to-back Champion Littler opens against Beau Greaves, and should he come through this and defeat Niels Zonneveld, his eyes will be firmly set on the three-peat.
