888poker has revealed the complete schedule for the next stop of its 2026 UK Poker League (UKPL), returning to Grosvenor Casino Bury New Road in Manchester from September 15-20.
The centerpiece of the series is a £560 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Main Event carrying a £100,000 guaranteed prize pool. Alongside the announcement, 888poker is running a promotion allowing 30 UK-registered players to enter the Main Event without paying the buy-in.
To qualify, players must complete the UKPL Manchester Challenge between August 10 and September 5 by playing at least 40 tournaments, including BLAST games, with buy-ins of $5 or more. Completing the challenge earns a ticket to a special freeroll.
That freeroll will take place at 7:00 p.m. GMT on September 6, with the top 30 finishers each receiving a £560 seat into the UKPL Manchester Main Event. The seats do not cover travel or accommodation costs.
The broader UKPL Manchester schedule mirrors other 2026 tour stops, featuring events such as the £250 NLHE Opening Voyage, the £1,100 NLHE High Roller, and the £330 KO Rumble.
888poker previously brought the UKPL to Manchester in 2024, when Jamie Geraghty won the £560 Main Event, defeating 327 opponents for a £30,610 prize. Geraghty has since recorded cashes in Scotland, Ireland, Slovakia, and at the 2025 World Series of Poker.
