EPT Barcelona is confirmed for August 16-29, 2026 at Casino Barcelona. The stop remains one of the European Poker Tour’s most reliable destination festivals, combining the PokerStars Open schedule with EPT headline events, high rollers, mystery bounty action, satellites, and cash games on the Port Olimpic waterfront.
PokerStars Live currently lists the PokerStars Open Main Event for August 16-22 at EUR 1,650 and the EPT Main Event for August 22-29 at EUR 5,300. The published key dates also include the EPT Super High Roller from August 21-23, the EPT Mystery Bounty from August 25-27, and the EPT High Roller from August 27-29.
For players, the biggest practical updates are that the festival is no longer a vague summer placeholder and the core Main Event dates are now published. The full schedule may still receive adjustments, so travel planning should leave room around registration, starting flights, and side events.
