WSOP Circuit coming to Malta in September 2026
The World Series of Poker Circuit is heading to Malta for the first time, with Casino Malta confirmed as the host venue for a new WSOPC festival running from September 25 to October 5.

Casino Malta will stage the series in collaboration with Texapoker, with 12 official WSOP Circuit Ring Events on the schedule and a WSOPC Main Event set to headline the closing days of the stop. 

Organisers are positioning the debut as a significant step for the local live poker ecosystem and as another signal of Malta’s growing role on Europe’s tournament circuit.

12 Ring Events, Main Event Headliner, and Satellites

According to the announcement, the festival will include a mix of ring events, side tournaments, and satellite qualifiers designed to suit a broad range of bankrolls and experience levels. 

Casino Malta and Texapoker said the operation will be built around experienced tournament staffing and production standards aligned with international series expectations.

A notable incentive attached to the ring events is a $5,000 WSOP Bahamas package for each Ring Event champion, extending the value of a title run beyond Malta and linking winners to another major WSOP-branded destination.
