What happens if Luke Littler beats all 20 contestants in Netflix special

Luke Littler is nearly ready to face off against 20 amateurs live in Manchester; if victorious, the Englishman has vowed to donate his staggering prize pot to charity.

‘The Nuke’ will headline Friday evening’s Netflix-broadcast event, with part-time throwers battling Littler for the chance to earn £501,000.

While this would be a life-altering amount of money for the Englishman’s competition, Littler has instead vowed to donate the £501,000 to charity.

What happens if Luke Littler beats 20 amateurs in his Netflix special?

The 19-year-old’s competition will take on Littler in single-leg shoot-outs, starting at 501, and will claim £501,000 if they beat the Englishman.

To do so, as is expected in darts, the part-time players will have to finish on doubles. Should Littler beat an opponent, he will remain on stage, no break, for the next.

If victorious, the Englishman will net half of what he earned to lift a second world title in January of this year, live at Ally Pally.

With Littler tipped by many to be darts’ future GOAT - even Phil Taylor acknowledges the possibility - such paydays aren’t expected to be few and far between for the 19-year-old multi-millionaire.

As a result, the Englishman has vowed to “get the money and give it to charity, or [one of my competitors] walks home with half a million quid.”

“Of course, it is competitive,” admitted Littler. “It is going to take a lot out of me. But it will be one of my best achievements so far.”

To begin the contest, each part-timer will face off against Littler in a bull-off - attempting to land their dart in or closest to bullseye - to decide who throws first.

The 19-year-old is slated to face 24 competitors; however, that will be reduced to just 20 on the night.

Four pots will be formed from 16 of Littler’s rivals for the night, with each pot rising in difficulty. Draws at random will decide who plays and when.

Which charity will Luke Littler donate to if victorious?

The 19-year-old has long established himself as a charitable figure in the darts scene; in March of this year, Littler donated £2,500 to a cancer charity, The Matthew22 fund, after winning a bet placed at Cheltenham.

In 2025, the Englishman also donated £10,000 to the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association after beating fellow countryman Luke Humphries to claim the darts World Grand Prix title.

He and his fellow PDC players also worked with Paddy Power to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK in 2025, with the betting company donating £1000 for every ‘180’ thrown at the World Darts Championship.

As it stands, the charity to which Littler would offer his winnings - if he does prevail in Manchester this evening - is unknown.

However, the donation pledge could add an extra dimension of competitiveness to Littler’s game, knowing that a charity of his choice could pocket £501,000.

Long-time presenter Gary Lineker will host the event on Netflix, with game show host and published author Richard Osman - who revealed the existence of a secret back-up plan, should Littler lose early - providing analysis.

Eight of Littler’s most experienced competitors will be pitted head-to-head in an interactive vote, with the final four throwers being chosen by Netflix’s audience.

Fallon Sherrock, the world’s leading female darts player, and 15-year-old WDF World Championship finalist Mitchell Lawrie are the Englishman’s two most well-known opponents.

The challengers up for public vote throughout the live show are:

Katie Sheldon (22), aka The Dublin Diamond vs Sonny Johal (29), aka The Viking

Bhav Patel (36), aka Breaking Bhav vs Zac Griffiths (25), aka Boy In The Corner

Fallon Sherrock (32), aka Queen Of The Palace vs Jarod Becker (23), aka The Finisher

Jacob Gwynne (27), aka The Cracker vs Ashley Coleman (29), aka The Prince of Darkness

All amateurs will receive a customised shirt, darts nickname and walk-on song, with alcohol being sold to increase noise and atmosphere at Manchester Central.
