The Irish Open is set to continue its global expansion, with Marrakech, Morocco hosting the second international stop of its 2026 tour. The Casino de Marrakech will run the festival from November 10-15, featuring 36 events with buy-ins ranging from roughly €140 to €3,000.
This marks the latest step in the Irish Open’s move beyond Dublin, announced in April as part of plans marking its first expansion abroad in 46 years. Sydney hosted the opening leg in September, with a United States debut scheduled for 2027.
The centerpiece of the Marrakech schedule is the €1,155 Main Event, carrying a €500,000 guarantee and spread across four starting flights. Play begins at noon on Wednesday, November 11, with players receiving 50,000 starting chips. The first three flights use 40-minute levels, while Day 1D on Friday, November 13 runs on a turbo structure for a quicker route to Day 2.
Survivors from all flights will merge on Saturday, November 14, with the tournament concluding the following day. Ten satellites, starting from around €140, will offer additional paths into the Main Event.
The festival opens with the €350 Hendon Mob Championship, the first edition of that event held in North Africa. Other highlights include high roller events at €2,200 and €3,000, the Mini Irish Open, Ladies and Seniors Championships, several PLO formats, and a new NLH DeepStack Supersonic tournament.
PokerNews will provide live coverage of the Main Event, including chip counts, key hands and updates as the tournament progresses toward crowning a champion.
