The UKPL had four regular stops on its schedule this year. As always, the UK Poker League tournament series will conclude in 2026 with the grand finale in Coventry. However, the UKPL Grand Final in Coventry, originally scheduled for November, has been postponed. Instead of November 10–15, the final UKPL festival of the year will now take place from December 15–20, 2026.
The 2026 UKPL is organized by Grosvenor Poker and 888poker. The series comprises a total of five festivals at various locations across the UK. Each festival was set to feature £300,000 in guaranteed prize money. A key part of the series is the Main Event. Grosvenor has increased the prize pool guarantee for the 2026 UKPL Main Event from the original £100,000 to £150,000.
Following stops in Luton, Blackpool, Reading South, and Manchester BNR, Coventry was originally scheduled to serve as the series finale in November. With the new date, the 2026 UKPL season will thus come to an unusually late conclusion. The venue remains the Grosvenor Casino Coventry at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
The UKPL Main Event will feature a buy-in of £500 + £60. As part of the UKPL format, satellites are also available. Grosvenor offers opportunities to qualify for the live tournaments via satellites both online and at its casinos. Online satellites start as low as £1. The live event credits won in these satellites can be used in UKPL tournaments.
