GUKPT Grand Final 2026
The 2026 GUKPT Grand Final runs November 19-29 at The Victoria Casino in London, with £1.2M in guarantees. The £2,000 Main Event carries £500,000 guaranteed alongside Midi, Mini Main, High Roller, Cup, PLO, satellites and online closing tournaments through December 1.

The 2026 GUKPT Grand Final will take place at The Victoria Casino in London from November 19 to 29, bringing the 20th season of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) to a close.

The festival features £1.2 million in total guarantees, headlined by the £2,000 Main Event with a £500,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other key tournaments include the £1,250 GUKPT Midi, £340 Mini Main, £2,500 High Roller and £560 GUKPT Cup.

The schedule also includes Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) tournaments, Deepstack events, satellites and online closing tournaments.

The live festival features 10 numbered tournament events, beginning with the GUKPT Midi on November 19. The Main Event starts on November 26, while the GUKPT Cup and closing tournaments complete the live schedule on November 29.

The GUKPT Midi opens the tournament schedule with three regular starting flights and a Hyper flight. Day 2 takes place on November 21, followed by the final day on November 22.

The £2,000 Main Event features three starting flights, including a turbo option, before Day 2 and the final day. Its £500,000 guarantee makes it the festival's headline tournament.

The £2,500 High Roller and £340 Mini Main each carry £150,000 guarantees, while the £560 GUKPT Cup offers £50,000 guaranteed.

Champion of Champions Final on November 18

The Champion of Champions final is scheduled for November 18, one day before the official GUKPT Grand Final festival begins.

The tournament is the finale of The Victoria's year-long Victoria Championships and is separate from the regular GUKPT tournament schedule.

Players can qualify for the festival through live Target Cashout Satellites and online feeder tournaments. Live Main Event satellites generally have a £200 + £20 buy-in, with several sessions offering guaranteed seats.

Grosvenor Poker is also running online feeder satellites starting at £1, with qualifiers progressing through £5 and £30 buy-ins. Higher-level qualifiers award Live Event Credit worth £200, £300, £500 or £1,250.

The credit can be used towards any GUKPT tournament, either covering the full buy-in or contributing towards part of it. Any remaining balance must be paid at the casino cash desk.

If a player uses a larger credit for a tournament with a lower buy-in, the difference is issued as tournament credit. 

Grosvenor also states that Live Event Credit does not expire, allowing players to retain it for another GUKPT event if they cannot attend the Grand Final.
