After their smashing return to the live poker scene last year, PartyPoker is now leveling up for the 2026 tour. The 2025 revival edition featured five stops across the UK, and considering how successful the tour was, it only made sense for PartyPoker to raise the bar even higher. Said and done, they promised more events in 2026, a promise they fulfilled – by some margin. Recently, five new stops were announced, which means that there will be a total of nine stops for the 2026 PartyPoker Tour – more or less twice as many as there were in 2025.
Nine Stops in Three Countries
A giraffe is the animal that sleeps the least. Perhaps, one could refer to PartyPoker as the Giraffe on the live poker scene. The dust has barely settled after Sheffield, and since the wrap-up of their first live poker event of 2025, PartyPoker has delivered content continuously. For example, they announced an eighth name joining the PartyPoker Tour Ambassador just a few names ago; Niall Farrell has now joined the team, and he’ll add value in his own way to an already marvelous gang proudly wearing the PartyPoker patch.

Now, PartyPoker is stirring the pot again, this time delivering some very mouth-watering news. A total of five new stops have been announced for the 2026 PartyPoker Tour. Add that to the four locations already revealed, and it can be concluded that the tour will consist of nine stops this year. Now, if that’s not taking it to the next step, nothing is.
It was already common knowledge that the legendary poker brand would extend the tour outside of the UK; the upcoming stop in Seville, Spain, is just shy of a month away (March 16-22). What wasn’t known was how many new events there would be, and where they would take place. Well, that information is now official, so let’s break it down.
2026 PartyPoker Tour – Calendar
| Date | Festival |
|---|---|
| January 27-February 1 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour Sheffield |
| March 16-22 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour Seville |
| May 11-17 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour Madrid |
| June 13-21 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour Manchester |
| July 4-12 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour London (Spring Edition) |
| August 3-9 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour Glasgow |
| November 9-15 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour Cork |
| November 30-December 6 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour Murcia |
| December 12-20 | 2026 PartyPoker Tour London (Winter Edition) |
The 2026 PartyPoker Tour kicked off in Sheffield a few weeks ago, and as previously mentioned, Seville is next, as Casino Admiral Seville is getting ready to roll out the red carpet. Madrid (May 11-17) and Manchester (June 13-21) will follow, as has been previously communicated. Then comes the big news, as the five recently announced events have all been added to the calendar. July 4-12, the tour will return to where it all began: Getting Casino Startford, London. PartyPoker hosted two events at the said venue in 2025, playing a vital part on the London poker scene. It makes perfect sense for them to once again touch base on sacred ground.
Speaking of earlier stops, a return to Scotland is next. PartyPoker will return to Glasgow August 3-9, and it was an absolutely stunning event last year. One out of many things the Scottish poker community appreciated about the PartyPoker event was the poker.pro Mixed Games; the players claimed it was the first time in decades they played games such as H.O.R.S.E. in an organized form. In terms of tournament schedule diversification, the Scotts can expect a similar menu this time.

After Glasgow, the tour will leave the UK – but not for Spain this time. It’s Ireland that’s been given the honor to welcome the circus, more precisely, in Cork. It’s not news that live poker is enormous in Ireland, and being the second-biggest city in the country, of course, Cork should host a live poker festival of this magnitude. The event will take place November 9-15.
When Cork wraps up, it won’t be more than two weeks before the tour heads back to Sunny Spain. The eighth and penultimate stop of the 2026 PartyPoker Tour will be played in Murcia, November 30-December 6. This is destined to be a very scenic stop, considering the beauty of Murcia and all its culture and landmarks. If the players can find some time away from the felted tables, there is a lot to explore in what is arguably one of the prettiest cities in the world.
Last but not least, the tour will wrap up in London, December 12-20. Just like last year, the English capital will host two PartyPoker events, and it feels fitting; London is the beating heart of UK poker, and it’s a great place for players to unite from all over the world and share the love of the game.
All nine stops will feature a £500 Main Event, a £150 Mini Main Event, and a £1,000 High Roller; those who enjoyed the 2025 PartyPoker Tour will recognize these tournaments from last year. What’s more, there’ll be various side events that’ll differ somewhat between the locations; poker.pro will, of course, continue hosting their self-branded Mixed Games tournaments in conjunction with the PartyPoker Tour. That is also the case with JJ Hazan’s PLO Masters, which was a vital part of the tour last year.

Players would benefit from joining as many of the festivals as possible, especially those in the UK and the one in Cork, seeing as PartyPoker have introduced a loyalty card for the five upcoming stops there. All players will receive a blank card and can get a stamp at each stop. After collecting just two stamps, players can start claiming unique PartyPoker merchandise. Those who get all five stamps will be invited to an Anniversary Freeroll, which will be played during the final London stop. Considering the freeroll has £25,000 in guaranteed cash, all PartyPoker Tour visitors should be very eager to get the stamps.
Last, but absolutely not least: if one’s intrigued in participating in the 2026 PartyPoker Tour, one would be ludicrous not to partake in the online qualifiers. PartyPoker are sending a staggering 2,000 players to the live felts in 2026, and with satellites starting from just £0,20, one could secure their live poker adventure for coffee money. Players can compete for PartyPoker Tour Packages containing an entry to any £500 Main Event of their choosing, as well as an additional £500 in expenses. There are also satellites running for standalone events, such as the £150 Mini Main Event, the £1,000 High Roller, or £250 tickets to the PLO Masters.
It’s been said before, but poker.pro is grateful to be the official media partner of the PartyPoker Tour. The editorial office is currently shopping for sunscreen, packing the bags for the upcoming stop in sunny Seville. It’s destined to be a poker extravaganza without its liking, and considering the time and effort PartyPoker is putting into their live events, the expectations are high.
