Thousands of darts fans will compete for the chance to take on the world number one in a high-stakes live showdown.
The final public audition for Netflix’s live sports event, Beat Luke Littler, is taking place at Manchester Central Convention Complex tomorrow (September 19).
The event offers amateur players the chance to face Luke Littler in a one-off leg of 501.
Success comes with a shot at a £501,000 jackpot.
Phil Taylor, 16-time world darts champion, said: "We saw a huge amount of talent in London last week and I’m expecting a similar level of quality in Manchester this weekend.
"The opportunity to face Luke and play for £501,000 is a massive motivation and is clearly bringing the best out in people.
"There is no doubt Luke will have to bring his best darts to Manchester Central on October 30 or one of these amateurs could be celebrating the victory of a lifetime.
"What a spectacle it promises to be.
"Darts has never been more popular but Luke and Netflix are taking things to the next level with this event."
The Manchester event is the final heat in the qualifying process, following last weekend’s auditions in London.
Hopefuls, some of whom have travelled from as far as Australia, India, and Ireland, will face a three-stage selection process beginning with a single leg of 501 in 24 darts or fewer.
Successful players will then be interviewed by the show’s producers before a final assessment by an expert judging panel.
This includes Barry Hearn, founder and president of Matchroom Sport, Phil Taylor, and professional darts player and pundit Laura Turner.
The live event will stream on Netflix on Friday, October 30, with Gary Lineker hosting and Richard Osman providing expert analysis.
