Natural8 has announced the microFestival 2026 online poker series, running from June 21st to July 5th. Featuring buy-ins from $1, over two million players will compete for millions in prizes, highlighted by a $1,500,000 guaranteed Mystery Bounty Main Event.

Online poker platform Natural8 has officially announced the return of microFestival 2026, which is billed as the world's largest micro-stakes online poker series. 

The festival is scheduled to run from June 21st to July 5th, offering players the opportunity to compete for millions of dollars in guaranteed prize pools. 

The series features tournament buy-ins starting at just $1 and is expected to attract over two million participants across its comprehensive schedule of events.

The microFestival 2026 schedule includes special micro-stakes editions of the popular MILLION$ lineup, spread across Hold'em and Omaha variants. 

The absolute highlight of the entire festival is the $10.80 buy-in micro Mystery Bounty Main Event, scheduled for July 5th at 19:00 UTC, which features a massive $1,500,000 guarantee.

Other notable final events highlighted on the schedule include:
  • June 28th (13:00 UTC): ¥22 micro Zodiac Bounty Festival [Final] with a ¥1,000,000 guarantee.
  • June 28th (19:00 UTC): $5 micro Global Festival [Final Day] with a $500,000 guarantee.
  • June 28th (20:00 UTC): $10.80 micro Omaholic Mystery Bounty Festival [Final] with a $250,000 guarantee.
  • July 5th (13:00 UTC): ¥33 micro Zodiac Festival [Final] with a ¥500,000 guarantee.
  • July 5th (20:00 UTC): $5.40 micro Omaholic Bounty Festival [Final] with a $100,000 guarantee.

Alongside the multi-million dollar tournament guarantees, Natural8 is introducing an added value promotion for players who participate in the series. The platform is offering a total of $100,000 in Second Chance Freerolls to cushion the blow for those who finish outside the money stages.

Players who enter any microFestival tournament and miss the in-the-money (ITM) stage will receive a ticket to a Daily Second Chance Freeroll, which features a $3,000 daily guarantee. 

Each freeroll ticket remains valid for 72 hours following its issuance, though the rules dictate that it cannot be utilized on the exact day it is received. 

Every tournament entry that fails to finish in the money provides players with an additional opportunity to secure a portion of the $100,000 total freeroll prize pool.

The action kicks off on Sunday, June 21st, with an expansive line-up of opening events spanning standard No-Limit Hold'em (NLH), progressive knockouts (KO), and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament types. 

Key early events include the $8.88 Sunday Crazy Eights tournaments at 11:00 UTC, featuring separate variants for NLH, bounties, and Omaholic formats. 

Later in the opening day, players can find the $5.50 Sunday Bounty Hunters Main Event with a $75,000 guarantee, the $15 Sunday Bounty Hunters Grand with a $150,000 guarantee, and the $10.80 Sunday Showdown [Mystery Bounty] which also boasts a hefty $150,000 prize pool guarantee.
