The 2026 888poker LIVE tour is set to make its fourth stop of the year in London, with the festival running at Grosvenor’s London Victoria Casino from October 8-18. The centerpiece of the series is a £1,250 buy-in Main Event.
To help players secure a seat, 888poker has launched a satellite path starting from just $0.01. The route builds up to a $109 buy-in Festival 2026 Main Event Qualifier, where $2,500 packages will be awarded to winners.
888poker is also running a dedicated challenge from September 5-26, giving participants a chance to earn one of four $2,500 packages. Anyone who completes the challenge receives a freeroll ticket to a tournament starting at 7:00 p.m. BST on September 27, with the top four finishers each claiming a package.
Last year’s London Main Event drew 367 entrants, generating a £383,500 prize pool that comfortably surpassed its £250,000 guarantee. Gang Wang emerged victorious after defeating Calogero Morreale in heads-up play, earning £86,600 for the win.
The 2025 festival also produced notable results for 888poker ambassadors. Vivian Saliba won the £550 Big Shot event for £12,135, while Nick Eastwood claimed the £220 Closer title, banking £4,860.
While the full schedule for the 2026 London Festival has yet to be finalized, organizers expect it to build on the success of last year’s event.
