PokerStars Unveils Exciting Live Events for Summer 2026: EPT Barcelona and More


PokerStars has announced several live poker events for the summer of 2026, including EPT Barcelona and PokerStars Open Malaga. These events are part of the PokerStars Live League, a year-long competition that will award hundreds of thousands of Euros to top performers across various events.

EPT Barcelona Returns

EPT Barcelona will take place from August 16 to 29, 2026, and will feature the €5,300 EPT Main Event. The festival will also include events like the €550 Women’s Championship and the €1,650 PokerStars Open Barcelona. Last season, the EPT Barcelona Main Event saw a total of 2,045 entries, with Frenchman Thomas Eychenne eventually walking away with the trophy and the €1,426,900 first-place prize following a deal with Romanian Sebastian Ionita, who took home €1,309,670.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
