GUKPT 2026 Unveils 20th Season with £5.7M in Prizes and Glasgow Debut
The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) will mark its 20th season in 2026 with a packed schedule of high-stakes events. The tour kicks off in London in January, offering players a chance to compete for over £5.7 million in guaranteed prize money. Organisers have also announced new stops, including a debut in Glasgow, alongside returning favourites like the UK Open and the Goliath. The season begins at The Victoria Casino in London from January 8 to 18. This opening leg sets the stage for nine tournaments across the UK, culminating in the Grand Final at the same venue from November 19 to 29.
The UK Open returns to Coventry from February 5 to 15, featuring a £1 million guaranteed prize pool. Later in the year, the Goliath—one of the tour’s most anticipated events—takes place in the same city from July 23 to August 2, with an estimated £2 million up for grabs. A highlight of the 2026 schedule is the tour’s first visit to Glasgow. The event, running from September 17 to 27, includes a £1,000 buy-in Main Event with a £200,000 guarantee. Other key dates include GUKPT London II at The Victoria Casino from April 9 to 19. Felix Shepherd, Poker Marketing Manager for Grosvenor Poker, expressed enthusiasm for the milestone season. The full lineup also features the Behemoth, adding to the variety of tournaments on offer.
The 2026 GUKPT season spans nine legs, with total guaranteed prize money reaching £5.7 million. Players will compete in familiar locations like Coventry and London, while Glasgow joins the tour for the first time. The schedule wraps up with the Grand Final in late November, closing a year of major poker events.
