EPT Barcelona Returns for Two Weeks of Summer Poker

Yesterday, PokerStars took to its socials to announce that its oldest surviving EPT stop will be back for another long summer run in 2027.

The European Poker Tour returns to Spain for EPT Barcelona from August 15 to August 28, giving the festival a full two weeks on the new 2027 calendar.

The Barcelona Main Event will be the third EPT installment in 2027 to use PokerStars’ new €5,000 entry price, down from €5,300, while the accompanying PokerStars Open also becomes cheaper.

The poker room will first test the waters with their lower buy-ins earlier in the year with EPT Paris coming in February and EPT Monte-Carlo following right after in April. 

For decades, Barcelona has been the one stop to consistantly produce some of the largest Main Events on the tour.

Even in 2027, Casino Barcelona is what the European Poker Tour calls home, close to Port Olímpic.

As of now, PokerStars has confirmed that High Rollers, Super High Rollers, Mystery Bounties and PokerStars Open tournaments will be coming back around the Main Event, although no specific dates and buy-ins beyond the new headline prices have been tossed around. 

Qualifier details are another element that is still to come, as the festival draws closer.

For now, Barcelona has the longest festival window among the first three EPT stops of 2027, running 14 days before the tour moves on to Malta in September.
