888poker LIVE 2026

After signing off the 2025 season with a full house, thanks to the London Festival and a well‑attended UKPL finale in Coventry, 888poker has confirmed its live roadmap for 2026. The new schedule leans heavily on player‑friendly buy-ins, popular destinations, and a continued effort to bring ambassadors and players together in venues that already feel like home.


Instead of easing into the year, 888poker kicks off immediately with a January stop in Madrid before circling Europe and returning to London in October.

A Tour Built for Travel: 888poker LIVE 2026

The main 888poker LIVE series spans four festivals, each in a city that’s already battle‑tested for big turnouts and comfortable poker atmospheres.


  • Madrid Gran Via (January 11–18): Madrid opens the season inside the iconic Gran Via Casino. This is the same room where ambassador Ian Simpson took down his first 888poker LIVE Main Event, a detail unlikely to be forgotten by players or the brand.
  • Glasgow (March 12–22): Glasgow returns after an impressive showing last year. The 2026 edition is expected to grow, with organizers hinting at a richer schedule and more off‑the‑felt activity.
  • Barcelona (May 14–24): Barcelona’s combination of beaches, food, and poker has long made it a favorite. The 2026 stop continues this tradition, giving players an excuse to merge poker with a spring getaway.
  • London, The Victoria (October 8–18): The newly refurbished "Vic" closes out the LIVE season. Given the success of its 2025 festival, London’s spot on the schedule was never in doubt.

  • Blackpool: May 5–10
  • Reading South: July 14–19
  • Manchester BNR: September 15–20

Each location includes multiple tournaments and leaderboard opportunities, offering players plenty of ways to stay competitive throughout the year.
