The 2024 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Runner-Up
Thanks to Luke Littler’s success last year, he was named the runner-up at the main BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2024 awards. Sadly, he lost out on the title to Keely Hodgkinson, an 800-metre Olympic gold medallist.
While he didn’t win the main title, he was crowned the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year the same year.
He beat many talented young athletes for the award, including para-swimmer William Ellard and skateboarder Sky Brown.
After receiving the award, Luke Littler said, “It’s a huge honor for me to win Young Sports Personality of the Year and finish second for Sports Personality. The support this year has been amazing, and I want to say thank you to everyone who voted and sent messages.”
A Favorite to Win the 2025 Award
According to recent betting odds, Luke Littler is a strong contender to win BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025.
Of course, he will need to stand out from other talented athletes in various sports. For instance, he faces tough competition from British racing driver Lando Norris, the frontrunner to win the award.
Other strong contenders include F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, English soccer players Lucy Bronze and Leah Williamson, and snooker icon Ronnie O’Sullivan, to name a few.
A Fantastic Start to the Year
Luke Littler’s impressive darts skills at a young age have captured the public’s attention, earning him fans up and down Great Britain.
Despite the widespread attention, the 18-year-old darts player’s confidence hasn’t wavered in various tournaments. If anything, his new fanbase is inspiring Littler to greatness.
For example, he defeated Michael van Gerwen, a three-time world champion, in the 2025 PDC World Darts Championship on January 3, 2025.
As he was 17 years and 347 days old at the time, he broke the record as the youngest PDC World Darts Champion in history, which was previously set by his opponent, van Gerwen, at 24 years old.
Also, on March 1, 2025, Luke Littler won his first UK Open, defeating James Wade by 11-2 sets.

Potential 2025 Premier League Darts Success
Luke Littler has already enjoyed success at the 2025 Premier League Darts, which started on February 6, 2025, and will conclude with playoffs on May 29, 2025.
The Warrington-born player defeated Luke Humphries, the current world number one, on night two of the final. However, he lost to the player on night four, proving he faces stiff competition in the league.
However, if Littler can maintain his confidence during the tournament, he stands a good chance of not only winning the 2025 Premier League Darts but also receiving the title of BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025 this December.
If you believe Luke Littler will win BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2025, you could win $1180 by betting $100 if it happens.
