European Championship darts schedule: Luke Littler faces Ratajski as finals day starts at noon

Luke Littler faces Krzysztof Ratajski in the European Championship quarter-finals on Sunday 25 October, with the afternoon session starting at noon UK time and the semi-finals and final following from 6pm.

Both sessions at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund are live on ITV4 and ITVX. Littler’s quarter-final is fourth on the afternoon schedule, so his match will begin after the preceding three ties rather than at the session’s opening time.

The UK clocks went back overnight. Sunday’s times are therefore GMT, as specified in the PDC schedule reproduced by the Australian Darts Association.

Sunday’s European Championship quarter-final order

Ross Smith and Luke Woodhouse open the afternoon session, followed by Gerwyn Price against Stephen Bunting.

Martin Schindler then meets Jonny Clayton before Ratajski takes on Littler.

2	Gerwyn Price vs Stephen Bunting	After Smith vs Woodhouse
3	Martin Schindler vs Jonny Clayton	After Price vs Bunting
4	Krzysztof Ratajski vs Luke Littler	After Schindler vs Clayton

The quarter-finals are best of 19 legs, with the first player to win 10 progressing. The pairings and running order appear in Sky Sports’ updated tournament schedule.

What time does Luke Littler play?

Littler plays in the final quarter-final of the afternoon. There is no fixed individual start time in the published schedule: it depends on how long the first three matches take.

He reached the last eight with a 10–5 victory over Nathan Aspinall on Saturday, averaging 114.47. Read our report on Littler’s win and the end of Gian van Veen’s title defence.

Ratajski advanced by beating Kevin Doets 10–8. The winner of his meeting with Littler will face Schindler or Clayton in the semi-finals.

When are the semi-finals and final?

The evening session begins at 6pm GMT, with both semi-finals followed by the final.

The bracket is:

• Ross Smith or Luke Woodhouse vs Gerwyn Price or Stephen Bunting.
• Martin Schindler or Jonny Clayton vs Krzysztof Ratajski or Luke Littler.

The semi-finals and final are best of 21 legs, meaning 11 legs are needed to win. The final follows the two semi-finals; it does not have a guaranteed separate start time.
