Grosvenor sets out a nine-leg 2027 GUKPT for the tour's twentieth season — without the buy-ins
Grosvenor has published dates and venues for the 2027 GUKPT, the tour's twentieth season: nine legs opening in London on 14 January and closing with the Grand Final in London on 28 November, plus three standalone Coventry festivals in the UK Open, Goliath and Behemoth. Buy-ins, guarantees and event structures were not released with it and are to be confirmed separately, so any figure circulating now is unofficial.
Grosvenor has set the shape of its 2027 poker year, and the headline is a round number: the GUKPT, which first ran in 2007, reaches its twentieth season.
Nine legs are scheduled. London opens the season from 14 to 24 January and also takes an April date, from the 8th to the 18th, before the Grand Final returns there from 18 to 28 November. In between the tour visits Manchester (4–14 February), Luton twice (9–16 May and 2–12 September), Glasgow (5–15 August), Leeds (30 September to 10 October) and Blackpool (28 October to 7 November). Glasgow keeps the Scottish slot it took over from Edinburgh in 2026.
Three standalone festivals share the calendar without being tour legs, and all three are in Coventry: the UK Open from 4 to 14 March, Goliath from 22 July to 1 August, and Behemoth from 6 to 12 December.
What the announcement does not contain is money. No main-event buy-in and no guarantee has been published for any 2027 leg, including the Grand Final; the operator has said structures and buy-ins will be confirmed separately, and the full calendar is expected shortly. We have published a page for each leg with its dates and deliberately left the buy-in lines empty rather than carry a 2026 figure across, and we will fill them when Grosvenor publishes them.
Three other changes were trailed alongside the dates. The Monster Stack Tour grows with more GBP 100 buy-in events; a new series replaces the UK Poker League; and mixed-game festivals at the London Victoria and Manchester Bury New Road rooms were described as possible rather than scheduled. The tour's partnership with GGPoker also enters a second year, with online satellites and direct buy-ins into selected live events — if you qualify that way, the satellite's own terms are what say what the seat covers.
General information, not advice. Dates are as announced and festivals do move.
