EPT Barcelona 2026
When it comes to the European Poker Tour, Barcelona stands as the gold standard for longevity and prestige. As the tour’s oldest stop prepares for its August 16–29, 2026 return, professional grinders and recreational enthusiasts alike are readying for two weeks of unparalleled action. 

Hosted at the expansive Casino Barcelona, the festival combines the established tradition of the EPT with the modern excitement of the PokerStars Open, creating a schedule that offers a "perfect game" for every type of bankroll and playing style.

Structural Excellence and High Stakes

The EPT is renowned for having some of the most player-friendly structures in the world, and Barcelona is the flagship. The €5,300 Main Event features 60-minute and 90-minute levels that allow for deep-stack play even in the tournament's late stages. 

For the specialists, the €10,300 High Roller and the €100,000 Super High Roller offer the ultimate testing ground against the world's best. New for the mid-stakes pros is a refined €3,250 Mystery Bounty schedule, which has become a cornerstone of the EPT experience since its introduction.

The Full Festival Experience

For the high-roller elite, the schedule is packed with opportunities to chase six and seven-figure scores. The €100,000 EPT Super High Roller remains the ultimate test of skill and bankroll, while the €10,300 EPT High Roller provides the traditional series-ending fireworks. 

A fan favorite making its return is the €3,250 EPT Mystery Bounty, an event where the adrenaline of a deep run is amplified by the chance to pull a massive "gold envelope" bounty regardless of where you finish in the money.

Beyond the Felt: The Barcelona Vibe

Beyond the technical aspects of the game, EPT Barcelona is a social hub. The twinning with the PokerStars Open means the first half of the festival is packed with value, specifically the €1,650 Main Event and the €825 Cup. 

The 2026 edition will also feature an expanded "Activity Calendar," allowing players to decompress through organized fitness sessions, city tours, and exclusive player parties. As always, the "Golden Shard" trophy remains the ultimate goal in the city where poker legends are made.
