Tuesday 17th March 2026 Live from 5:45pm

Happy St Patrick's Day! πŸ€ What better way to celebrate than with a cracking evening of European football and world-class darts? We've got Forest and Villa flying the flag in the Europa League, plus the Premier League Darts rolls into Dublin for a fitting Paddy's Day special.

⚽ UEFA Europa League

17:45 KICK-OFF
FC Midtjylland vs Nottingham Forest
UEFA Europa League

Forest's Danish Adventure

Nottingham Forest continue their remarkable European journey with a trip to Denmark! The Tricky Trees have been one of the stories of the season, and they'll be hoping to keep their momentum going in Herning against Midtjylland.

Forest's form has been electric in 2026, and Nuno EspΓ­rito Santo has them playing with a swagger not seen at the City Ground in decades. They'll need to be wary of Midtjylland's home record though – the Danish champions are no pushovers on their own turf.

What's at stake: Forest pushing for a strong Europa League run while maintaining their Premier League top-four challenge. European nights are back in Nottingham, and the travelling fans will be making some noise!

20:00 KICK-OFF
Aston Villa vs Lille
UEFA Europa League

Villa Host French Giants

Villa Park under the lights is always special, and tonight the Villans welcome Lille in what promises to be a cracking tie. Unai Emery knows European competition inside out – the man's practically got a PhD in winning the Europa League – and Villa will be looking to stamp their authority on this one.

Lille have been in decent form in Ligue 1 and won't roll over, but Villa at home are a different beast. The atmosphere at VP for European nights has been absolutely bouncing this season, and we expect nothing less tonight.

What's at stake: Both clubs looking to progress and make a statement. Villa's European ambitions are very real under Emery, and a strong home result would set them up nicely.

Premier League Darts

The Bullet vs The Nuke

This one's box office. Stephen Bunting – "The Bullet" – faces teenage sensation Luke Littler in what could be the match of the night. Littler has taken the darts world by storm, and his averages have been absolutely frightening. Bunting, though, is no mug – the former Lakeside champion has been in fantastic form and knows how to handle the big occasions.

Expect a high-scoring thriller with both players capable of hitting big checkouts. The Dublin crowd will be right behind this one!

20:40
Jonny Clayton vs Luke Humphries
Premier League Darts

The Ferret vs Cool Hand

Two of the best in the business go head-to-head! Jonny Clayton – "The Ferret" – brings his Welsh fire against World Champion Luke Humphries. These two produce quality darts every single time they play, and with the Irish crowd cheering every maximum, this should be electric.

Humphries has been clinical since winning the Worlds, but Clayton's pace and clinical finishing make him dangerous against anyone. Don't miss this one.
