At the start of this year, PartyPoker made headlines by announcing the long-awaited return of the PartyPoker Tour. Now, with four of the five planned 2025 stops already in the books across the UK in London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham, it’s safe to say the revival has been a resounding success. Attendance has been strong, feedback overwhelmingly positive, and the tour has quickly re-established itself as a staple of the UK poker calendar. All this was helped in no small part by the wave of players earning seats through online qualifiers.
But the PartyPoker isn’t stopping here. Before the tour even makes its final stop of the year in London this December, PartyPoker has dropped another major announcement that the tour will officially return in 2026.
Four stops have already been confirmed, two in the UK and two in Spain, as the tour expands beyond the UK borders for the first time since its relaunch. Players can expect a familiar and well-proven structure next year as well, with PartyPoker sticking to the formula that worked so well in 2025. Each stop will feature:
- £500 Main Event
- £150 Championship Event
- £1,000 High Roller
- A full lineup of side events, including the popular £250 PLO Masters Main Event
The 2026 PartyPoker Tour will officially kick off in Sheffield, running from January 27 to February 1 at Genting Casino Sheffield, setting the stage for another year of accessible buy-ins, strong fields and big prizes.

poker.pro as an Official Media Partner
Alongside PartyPoker throughout this year’s revival has been poker.pro, serving as the official media partner, and that partnership is set to continue in 2026. We have been on-site for every stop so far, delivering full live reporting, video highlights, player interviews, livestream coverage, and more.
One aspect we’re especially proud of is bringing poker.pro-branded mixed games to each stop, even in venues where non-Hold’em formats are typically rare or completely absent. This commitment to expanding game variety will continue, including at the upcoming London stop in December.
Qualify for the 2026 PartyPoker Tour Online
To make the 2026 season even more accessible, PartyPoker is giving away 2,000 tickets for the tour through online qualifiers. Players can secure their £1,000 package via the PartyPoker Tour Path, a multi-step satellite system that allows anyone, regardless of bankroll, to take a shot at a live event. Satellites start from as little as £0.20, and players can even earn entry by generating just $0.01 in rake, which awards two Round One Tour Path tickets every day.
The package includes a £500 ticket for any PartyPoker Tour Main Event of your choosing, as well as £500 for expenses (such as travel and accommodations).
Every Sunday at 20:00 GMT, PartyPoker online poker client hosts a tournament, in which the winner takes home the tour package. Players can’t buy into the tournament; in order to get a seat at the Sunday final, one must advance from round four of the PartyPoker Tour Path.
There will also be additional online satellites awarding seats to specific events, including £150 Championship seats, £250 PLO Masters seats, and even £1,000 High Roller seats.
