So you’ve accrued a bit of a reputation at your local for being unbeatable at darts? Netflix is looking for you.
Announced on X on Monday, the streaming giant is offering amateur darts players the chance to take on English champion Luke Littler. Successful applicants will try their hand against the 19-year-old record-breaker and youngest world champion in darts history, in a match to be streamed live on Netflix on Oct. 30.

If you’re reflecting on your darts skills and want to sign up, you need to be over 12 (though anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian present). You’ll also need to legally live in or be able to travel to the UK for production, and you can’t have ever been a Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) Tour Card holder.
Netflix’s application includes questions like “Why do you think you could beat Luke Littler?” which is a damn good question considering the champion has been absolutely thrashing the competition, defending his title, and breaking records at the 2026 World Matchplay in Blackpool, England in July. Other questions include “What is your darts nickname or what would it be?” so make sure you stay on target; may I suggest “Dart Garfunkel,” “Napoleon Bonadarte,” or “The Museum of Modern Dart,” as starter points.
It’s the latest live event on Netflix, with the streamer leaning more and more into WWE, football, concerts, boxing, and more. It’s a crowded, competitive space, with the likes of Apple, Amazon, and Disney+ also focused heavily on live sports streaming.
So, if you’re the undisputed champ of your local pub’s crumbling dartboard, this could be your five minutes of fame.
