GUKPT 2027 — the tour's 20th season, nine legs plus three festivals
14 Jan – 28 Nov 2027 · London, United Kingdom
The 2027 GUKPT opens in London on 14 January and ends with the Grand Final in London on 28 November, across nine legs. Buy-ins and event structures were not published with the schedule and are to be confirmed separately.
Dates: 14 January to 28 November 2027.
Legs: nine, at London (January), Manchester, London (April), Luton (May), Glasgow, Luton (September), Leeds, Blackpool and London (Grand Final).
Standalone festivals in the same calendar: UK Open in Coventry in March, Goliath in Coventry in July and August, Behemoth in Coventry in December.
Main-event buy-ins: not confirmed. The schedule was released without them.
Anniversary: the tour first ran in 2007, so 2027 is its twentieth season.
What has been announced, and what has not
Grosvenor released the 2027 calendar as a list of dates and venues in early November 2026. The reporting on it is consistent about the legs and the dates, and equally clear that buy-ins, event structures and any later changes are to be confirmed separately. We have published each leg here with its dates and nothing it does not yet have; where you see no buy-in on one of these pages, that is because none has been announced, not because we left it out.
Where the 2027 season differs from 2026
Glasgow keeps the slot it took over from Edinburgh in 2026. The tour's organisers have said the season will carry more than ninety festivals and special events in total, that the Monster Stack Tour grows with more GBP 100 buy-in events, and that a new series replaces the UK Poker League. Mixed-game festivals at the London Victoria and Manchester Bury New Road rooms were described as possible rather than fixed.
The tour's partnership with GGPoker enters a second year in 2027, with online satellites and direct buy-ins into selected live events. If you qualify online for a live leg, read the qualifying event's own terms for what the seat covers before you enter.
This page is general information. We will re-read the schedule when Grosvenor publishes the full calendar with buy-ins.
