04.11.2025, 15:06 skysports.com

Beau Greaves will take on former champion Michael van Gerwen on the opening day of the Grand Slam of Darts 2025 on Saturday November 8, live on Sky Sports.

Greaves is in a blockbuster Group G that also includes Gary Anderson and Niko Springer but her mouth-watering group-stage clash with the 'Green Machine' is the headline contest for the opening Saturday that sees a double session of action. Their match is the penultimate bout in the evening session.

Reigning champion Luke Littler is in Group E and will have to progress past Daryl Gurney, Connor Scutt and Karel Sedlacek if he wants to become only the fourth player ever to retain the crown. He will take on Sedlacek on the opening day.

The 2023 champion, first seed, and world No 1 Luke Humphries is in a stacked Group A that includes Nathan Aspinall, Alex Spellman, and 2022 champion Michael Smith after 'Bullyboy' sealed his spot through qualifying.

Smith will be looking to get off to a flying start when he takes on Aspinall on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Group D is also a standout as fifth seed James Wade, Gerwyn Price, Ricky Evans, and Stefan Bellmont will battle it out.

The second women's representative, Lisa Ashton, also has a task on her hands in Group F as she faces a trio of in-form players in Gian van Veen, Josh Rock, and Wessel Nijman. The first of her bouts is against Dutchman Van Veen as he looks to continue to go from strength to strength following his European Championship win which will close out the afternoon session.
