The Festival Tallinn 2026 runs November 20-29 at Olympic Park Casino, featuring more than 70 tournaments. Headline events include the Hendon Mob Championship, Mixed Games Main Event, and NLH Main Event, alongside mixed games, High Rollers, and additional championships.
The Festival Series will conclude its scheduled 2026 calendar in Tallinn, Estonia, with a 10-day poker festival running from November 20-29.
Hosted at Olympic Park Casino inside the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel, The Festival Tallinn 2026 will feature more than 70 tournaments spanning No-Limit Hold'em, mixed games, and other poker formats.
The Tallinn stop follows the series' 2026 editions in Bratislava, Rozvadov, and Malta. It also marks a return to Olympic Park Casino, which previously hosted The Festival in 2022.
Martin 'Franke' von Zweigbergk, owner of The Festival Series, will once again compete on home ground. Von Zweigbergk lives in Tallinn and has organised several poker events in the Estonian capital.
The Hendon Mob Championship and Main Event Headline the Schedule
Three tournaments headline The Festival Tallinn 2026 schedule: The Hendon Mob Championship, the Mixed Games Main Event, and the NLH Main Event.
The Hendon Mob Championship has a €350 buy-in and begins on November 20 with Day 1A. Additional starting flights take place on November 21 and November 22, with Day 2 scheduled for November 22.
The Mixed Games Main Event, also known as T.O.R.S.E.S, starts on November 24. The detailed schedule lists a €555 buy-in, with Day 2 taking place on November 25. The tournament brings multiple poker disciplines into the festival's headline event line-up.
