Four Cities, One Season: 888poker LIVE in 2026
With just a little over a month left in the 2025 poker season, 888poker decided to turn its attention to the year ahead and release its complete live schedule for 2026. Their announcement last week confirms a return to Madrid, Glasgow, Barcelona, and London, along with another round of UKPL and Noche de Poker El Festival stops.
Here’s everything we know so far.
888poker LIVE 2026: Four Stops Across Europe
Even though this is a new calendar, not much has changed for 888poker LIVE. The tour will hit four different destinations in 2026, all of them with the same mid-stakes, player-friendly framework the series is known for.
Just like last year, feature tables will once again be streamed on both 888pokerTV and the operator’s YouTube channel.
Madrid (January 11–18)
888poker is opening its 2026 season in the Spanish capital, at Casino Gran Via. It’s a familiar stop for the operator and a sentimental one, given it’s where ambassador Ian Simpson claimed his first 888poker LIVE Main Event title.
Glasgow (March 12–22)
After a well-received debut in 2025, Glasgow is also returning, now for its second year. The previous edition drew strong numbers and even some enthusiastic reviews, so 888poker’s hint at further upgrades for 2026 doesn’t come as that much of a shock.
Barcelona (May 14–24)
Then, there’s Barcelona in late spring. This is one of the tour’s most popular stops, probably because apart from the deep fields, it has an atmosphere you can rarely get anywhere else in the season.
London: The Vic (October 8–18)
The 2026 season ends at the newly refurbished Victoria Casino, which reopened in 2025. The Vic has been crucial for the brand’s UK footprint for years, and 2026 shouldn’t be any different.
