Starting Sunday, it’s that time again: the PokerStars European Poker Tour is stopping at Casino Barcelona.
The EPT Barcelona is one of the most popular stops for the European poker community. This year, the Spanish poker festival will take place from August 16 to 29. With buy-ins ranging from €1,100 to €100,000, there’s plenty to choose from.
“The EPT Barcelona is where the poker world comes together. It’s the stage where legends defend their status, new stars are born, and unforgettable moments become part of poker history.
Few destinations can rival Barcelona in August. The city’s energy, atmosphere, and international appeal make it the perfect host for one of the most important poker events.
What truly sets EPT Barcelona apart, however, is the opportunity it offers. “Every year, online qualifiers and recreational players take their seats alongside the game’s biggest stars, all in pursuit of their own place in poker history,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events at PokerStars.
Highlights of the 2026 EPT Barcelona:
- €1,650 PokerStars Open Main Event: August 16–22

The €2,200 In The Money at 180,000 (August 17–27) introduces a new format. EPT Tournament Director Toby Stone commented on this unique tournament: “Reach 180,000 chips, pack up your stack immediately, and secure a Day 2 cash. No bubble sweat. Just pure poker and action.”
But there’s plenty to experience away from the poker tables as well. Activities include:
- Welcome drinks on August 18 and 23
- Karaoke night on August 17
- Quiz night on August 19
- Game night on August 21

Poker fans who can’t make it to Barcelona will also get their money’s worth. Starting August 23, the EPT livestream will be available for one week on the PokerStars Twitch and Facebook channels.
