The Battle of Malta Fall Edition will take place at Casino Malta in St. Julian’s from October 27 to November 4, offering €2 million in guaranteed prize money across a packed schedule of tournaments. The festival has grown rapidly since its early days, with last year’s edition distributing more than €6 million in total prizes.
Organizers are hoping the 2026 edition can continue that upward trend. Prize pools rose from €4,782,250 in 2024 to €6,064,470 in 2025, a jump of nearly 27 percent, as the event has become one of Europe’s premier poker festivals for both recreational and professional players.
The centerpiece of the series is the €600 Main Event, carrying a €1.5 million guarantee. It will feature nine starting flights from October 28 to November 1, with players able to choose between €600 flights offering 40,000 starting chips and 40-minute levels, or more affordable €300 flights with 20,000 chips and 20-minute levels. The final table is scheduled for November 4.
Other notable events include the €450 Mystery Siege of Malta, guaranteeing €150,000 with €200 mystery bounties, and the €1,100 Star Yes High Roller, which carries a €300,000 guarantee. Higher buy-in options such as the €5,200 Mega Teddy and €2,200 Casino Malta Royal High Rollers will also be on offer, alongside PLO, H.O.R.S.E. and other mixed-game tournaments.
PokerNews will provide live coverage of the Main Event and the €330 PokerNews Open, which begins on November 3 with a 30,000 starting stack and 25-minute levels.
At the previous Summer Edition, Spain’s Alejandro Asenjo won the Main Event among 2,667 entries, earning €94,520 after a four-way deal. His win followed that of friend Cosme Gomez, who captured the 2024 Autumn Edition title, continuing a notable streak for the pair heading into this year’s festival.
