Luke Littler insists 'clean sweep very much on' as he attends Warrington mural unveiling days after World Matchplay win

Luke Littler believes "not many" can stop him in the form he showed at the World Matchplay as he sets his sights on a 2026 majors clean sweep.

The 2026 PDC World Championship winner was frightenedly good in Blackpool, beating darts legend Phil Taylor's Matchplay record average of 106.31 with 111.04.

"I'm feeling very good," Littler told Your Site at the unveiling of his mural in Warrington on Thursday. "With performances like that, not many can stop me. Obviously, a tournament average of 111 was really, really good."

The 19-year-old has won every PDC title in 2026 so far - the World Championship, World Masters, UK Open, Premier League, World Cup and now the World Matchplay.

As it stands, he could still achieve an unprecedented clean sweep of eight ranking titles in the calendar - and Littler admitted that record is on his mind going forward, starting with working on qualifying to defend his Players Championship Finals title.

"The clean sweep is very much on," he said. "I think you can only look at what's coming up. For myself now, I can't go and say 'I'm going to win the World Championships'. That's in another five or six months.

"You've just got to look at what's in front of you. I've got a nice two-week holiday to Orlando tomorrow as well to look forward to. I think the clean sweep, it's very much on.

"As long as I qualify for Minehead, whether I win the World Series, the European, it's all coming up. It's a busy end of the year, but we'll see."

If a clean sweep was achieved, where does Littler think it would rank in terms of sporting achievement?

"For darts, I think it would be up there with probably one of the best," he said. "No one's ever done it. That's what I'm going for. I like to break all these records."

Littler's mural was unveiled in his hometown Warrington just four days on from to win yet another title in Blackpool.

The teen darts sensation signed his name on the artwork, took time to pose with fans for photos and played darts in front of the crowd present.

However he is still keeping himself grounded, both mentally and physically.

"[The mural is] very good," Littler said. "I actually saw it yesterday or the day before. I didn't want to see it, but they've done a really good job.

"I'm really happy. Someone said you can see it from miles away. It's that big, it's that tall.

"At first, they wanted me to sit on the roof. I said no chance! I'll just stand on the pavement."

will come in Leicester on the Pro Tour on August 25 and 26 at Players Championship 27 and 28 as he looks to secure his place at the Players Championship Finals in Minehead.
