Poker tournaments in Argentina 2026 — festival calendar and buy-ins

Argentina runs a dense live calendar for its size, spread across a handful of touring circuits rather than concentrated in one capital-city room. Rosario, not Buenos Aires, is the busiest stop. Everything below is taken from each festival's own published schedule, with the date it was last checked on the record.

What is running between now and the end of 2026

The City Poker Tour's third date opens at City Center Rosario from 22 to 25 October, with seven tournaments led by a Main Rosario Poker at ARS 300,000 and a Rosario High Roller at ARS 500,000.

The Gran Prix Poker Series takes its fifth date to Mar del Plata from 1 to 8 November.

The World Series of Poker Circuit returns to the same Rosario room from 4 to 12 November — the largest festival of the Argentine year, with 14 tournaments and seven satellites over 41 sessions. Its Main Event is USD 1,700 and the High Roller USD 2,500.

The Grand X Poker Championship runs in Santa Fe from 12 to 15 November, and the Liga Patagónica de Poker plays its fifth date in Santa Rosa from 19 to 23 November.

The year closes with the Circuito Argentino de Póquer's eighth date and final, in Rosario from 12 to 20 December, and the KK Live Iguazú third stage in Puerto Iguazú from 1 to 6 December.

Two currencies on one calendar

This is the thing to know before budgeting a trip. The international circuits price in US dollars; the domestic tours price in Argentine pesos. A peso buy-in published weeks ahead is not a fixed price in any practical sense — organisers reprice between announcement and the first card. Treat every ARS figure here as the number the organiser published on the date shown, not a quote.

Where the rooms are

City Center Rosario carries the heaviest schedule, hosting both the City Poker Tour and the WSOP Circuit within three weeks. Beyond it the calendar is genuinely national: Mar del Plata, Santa Fe, Tigre in the Buenos Aires delta, Melincué, Puerto Iguazú on the Brazilian border, and the Patagonian circuit through Cipolletti, Bariloche and Santa Rosa.

Checking before you travel

Festival grids are reworked more often than they appear to be, and event numbering is the least stable field on any schedule — less stable than the buy-in. Confirm the day's structure with the room itself before travelling for one specific tournament. Poker is a game of skill played for entertainment; it is not a way to make money, and no schedule on this page should be read as suggesting otherwise. Players must be 18 or over.
