We ended the 2025 live poker season with the remarkably successful 888poker LIVE Festival at the newly refurbished Victoria Casino in London. However, it was the last leg of the UKPL in Coventry that closed out the year in November.
In the upcoming 2026 season, players can look forward to prime poker locations, featuring affordable buy-in tournaments. They’ll also have the chance to rub shoulders with top-notch poker personalities, including our team of 888poker ambassadors.
Join us in celebrating LIVE poker action with our 888poker LIVE, UKPL and Noche de Poker El Festival events!
Our 2025 live tournament series smashed it, and we’re planning on doing it even bigger and better in 2026!
888poker LIVE Stops in 2026
We’ve got four fantastic locations lined up for players in 2026. However, if you can only join us on the virtual rail, the 888pokerTV Twitch and 888poker YouTube channels will livestream the Main Event feature tables and other special tournaments in each festival.
Our first stop will be at the Casino Gran Via in Madrid, and we'll wind up the year with a fourth and final leg in London in October. In between, we'll be back in Glasgow and Barcelona for more top-quality poker action.
Madrid Gran Via 11-18 January
The Gran Via Casino is a listed, historic building in one of Madrid’s most beautiful and eclectic parts of Spain’s capital city.
And it just happens to be the location where 888poker Team Ambassador, Ian Simpson, won his first-ever 888poker LIVE Main Event – as well as a first for an ambassador!
Glasgow 12-22 March
After taking Glasgow by storm last March, we’ll be back to this hidden poker gem in March 2026.
Last year’s event was a real treat, and we’ve got bigger plans to make this season’s return even more special for players in attendance.
Barcelona 14-24 May
Barcelona is a must-visit destination for both recreational and serious poker players. The 888poker LIVE stop in 2026 is no exception.
This city is a poker player’s dream, offering sun, sand, culture, and plenty to do both on and off the felt.
London, The Victoria, 8-18 October
The newly renovated “The Vic” poker room is our final stop of the year.
We may have left the best for last, but this is one stop on the 888poker LIVE schedule not to be missed!
