UKPL Coventry 2026

The UK Poker League closes its 2026 season at Grosvenor Casino Coventry from 10 to 15 November, with seven tournaments and £300,000 in guarantees headed by a £150,000 Main Event.

The Main Event

£500 plus a £60 entry fee, £150,000 guaranteed. The guarantee went up by half for 2026 — it was £100,000 the previous season — with the buy-in unchanged. Five starting flights run from Thursday to Saturday, the last of them a turbo, with Day 2 on the Sunday and 50,000 starting chips.

The other six

The 888poker Opening Voyage at £220+£30 guarantees £50,000 over three flights from the Tuesday. A £1,000+£100 High Roller guarantees another £50,000 across two days from Thursday. Then a £130+£20 four-card PLO for £10,000, the £100+£100+£20 KO Rumble for £5,000 on the Saturday, a £130+£20 Seniors for £5,000 and the £175+£25 Big Shot for £15,000 to close on Sunday.

Satellites

Targeted cashout satellites run most evenings of the festival, from £81+£9. They are tied to the event they feed: a seat can be handed to another player but has to be played, not cashed out.

Points and deductions

Most events award National Poker League points — restricted-entry events such as the Seniors do not. UKPL-branded events carry a 5 per cent deduction: 1 per cent to the NPL, 1 per cent to Grosvenor, 3 per cent to 888poker. Nothing is deducted from online events.

The season's last stop

The UKPL's own terms put the end of the 2026 season at 15 November, which makes Coventry the closer. The five venues used over the year are Luton, Blackpool, Reading South, Manchester BNR and Coventry.
