Luke Littler has snubbed the UK by naming Berlin as his favourite Premier League venue.
The 18-year-old has soared to prominence over the past 12 months, establishing himself as one of the best darts players on the planet ever since making the final of the 2024 World Championship.
Littler has been travelling across the globe plying his trade, winning multiple titles to put pressure on Luke Humphries at the top of the PDC Order of Merit.
And now, speaking to the Daily Star, the teenager has revealed Berlin is his favourite Premier League venue - rather than any of the ones based in the UK.

"I enjoyed it all it was a new experience for me," he said, reflecting on his surge into the spotlight over the past year.
"So this year I know what’s coming, but I always say the best place is Berlin for the Premier League of Darts. And obviously visiting New York!”
Littler will get to visit his favourite darts city when the Premier League goes to Berlin on April 3.
However, he's unsure if he'll get to spend much time looking around the place due to his busy schedule.
"It depends where we stay," he continued.
“Some places, we go to Germany quite a lot! But usually it’s hotel, food, and then you’re off to the venue to play darts... We finish very late.
"And then you can’t just go to a salad place, but most of the time I won’t eat because it’s not a good time to eat at 11pm/12am.
"Most of the time you just want to go to bed!”

Littler won the Premier League last year, with the youngster overcoming Humphries in the final to etch his name into the history books.
He also proceeded to secure glory at the 2025 World Championship, with Van Gerwen beaten on that occasion.
Littler's Premier League title defence got off to a rocky start when he lost to the Dutchman on matchday one.

However, the 18-year-old bounced back by winning in Glasgow last week following victories over Rob Cross, Van Gerwen and Humphries.
The crowd riled players that night by whistling, with Humphries and Gerwyn Price targeted by rowdy supporters.
And Littler criticised their behaviour in the aftermath of his triumph, saying: "Yeah, obviously, there was a few in particular that were doing it [whistling] when Luke [Humphries] was throwing.

"Kirk [Bevins, match referee] told them to be quiet and it got even worse, and then I missed doubles and Luke breaks at 5-4.
"I'm just like, 'Kirk, you've made it worse for me there, I'm 5-4 down.' But I broke back and held my throw very strongly again.
"If it's the same (outcome) as what it was when Kirk said it, then obviously just leave it. Obviously, they've got to step in at some point and say something. But yeah, that was pretty bad, but I got the win."
