Festivals worth booking.
What's worth flying for. Each stop is audited the same way the rooms are: structure, satellites, field quality, and whether the deal on the ground actually matches the marketing.
World Series of Poker 2026
The 57th annual World Series of Poker runs May 26 – July 25, 2026 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, awarding 100 gold bracelets. The $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event begins Thursday, July 2 and plays down to a final table on July 13. A WSOP Circuit follows directly on the same property from July 14 – 25.
EPT Barcelona 2026
The European Poker Tour returns to Casino Barcelona on the city's waterfront for a fortnight of EPT and PokerStars Open action, August 16 – 29, 2026. PokerStars' 2026 confirmation positions the festival in its usual late-August slot after the 2025 Main Event ranked among the three largest in EPT history (near €10M prize pool, winner over €1.4M).
GUKPT Glasgow 2026
Leg 5 of the 2026 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour — eleven days of poker at Grosvenor Casino Merchant City in Glasgow, August 13 – 23. The £1,000 buy-in Main Event carries a £200,000 guarantee.

WPT World Championship
The World Poker Tour's season-ending flagship is set to return to Wynn Las Vegas in December 2026.
