Poker-SM Online 2026
27 Feb – 23 Mar 2026 · Online, Sweden
The online half of Sweden's national poker championship. Poker-SM Online 2026 ran from 27 February to 23 March, with nineteen championship events spread across that period, played exclusively at Coolbet. A Warm Up evening was held before the disciplines began, to walk players through the schedule and what to expect.
The championship is organised by Svenska Pokerförbundet, the non-profit Swedish player federation founded in 2004, which runs both an online and a live championship each year. The live festival is held abroad because of Swedish legislation; the online championship is not subject to the same constraint, since online poker in Sweden is served by licensed operators under the commercial online gaming licence rather than by the land-based card-game licence that governs clubs.
The 2026 edition has concluded. Per-event names, dates, buy-ins and formats are published only as a schedule image and a downloadable PDF on the championship's site, neither of which we have been able to read, so no individual event is listed here. The federation publishes each year's schedule on the same page ahead of the next edition.
