Night Ten lands at the 3Arena in Dublin on April three and the venue’s electric atmosphere is already a talking point. Irish fans have embraced the Premier League since its first visit in 2007, but this year’s card boasts a mouth‑watering opening match between Luke Humphries and Nathan Aspinall—two men separated by a single point in the table. Every leg now carries play‑off implications, and history shows Dublin nights tend to produce pivotal momentum shifts.
Luke Littler tops the standings on twenty eight points yet arrives after successive semi‑final exits, prompting whispers that the teenager’s relentless schedule is beginning to bite. His quarter‑final pits him against Jonny Clayton, whose return to form at last weekend’s Players Championship saw a one hundred and four average and will give the Welshman quiet confidence of an upset.
Home support will roar for Keane Barry, drafted in as a Challenger for the evening. While Barry cannot earn league points, his presence against Gerwyn Price promises fireworks. Price dominated this stage twelve months ago, posting a one hundred and seven average and a one hundred and sixty finish, but admits the partisan crowd will be firmly against him on this occasion.
Michael van Gerwen faces Rob Cross in a heavyweight clash between the two most clinical finishers this season—MVG at fifty one per cent, Cross at forty nine. Van Gerwen won the Dublin title four years running between 2016 and 2019, yet Cross knocked him out in Liverpool earlier this spring, showing the gap has closed.
With only six regular nights remaining after Dublin, the mathematical threshold for booking a spot at The O2 is creeping higher. Thirty two points has been the historic cut line, and no one has reached it yet. That reality leaves the pack compressed, the stakes sky‑high and Dublin perfectly positioned to deliver another defining chapter in the 2025 campaign.
