Slovakia 
With Alejandro Asenjo lifting the trophy after outlasting a record-breaking field of 2,667 entries, another memorable chapter in Battle of Malta history has been written. From packed tournament rooms and huge prize pools to dramatic final-table moments and a four-way deal, the 2026 Summer Edition once again demonstrated why the festival remains one of the most popular stops on the European poker calendar.
Players won’t have to wait long for the next Battle of Malta adventure. The festival will make its debut in Slovakia from September 7-14 at Card Casino Bratislava, where a €400 Main Event featuring a €400,000 guarantee will headline the inaugural edition. Battle of Malta then returns home to Malta for the Autumn Edition from October 24 to November 4, highlighted by a €2,000,000 guaranteed Main Event.
