Grosvenor Poker has announced the 2026 Goliath schedule in Coventry from July 23 to August 2. Featuring 25 events and a £2 million estimated Main Event prize pool, the festival offers accessible £200 buy-ins and satellites starting from £1.
Grosvenor Poker has officially confirmed the dates for the 2026 Goliath, solidifying its status as the largest live poker tournament outside Las Vegas. The festival is scheduled to take over Coventry from July 23 to August 2, offering a massive eleven-day schedule designed for players of all bankrolls.
With 25 diverse events on the calendar, the undisputed star is the £200 Goliath Main Event. Following a historic turnout last year that saw 12,961 entries, organizers are projecting an estimated prize pool of £2 million.
This event remains a cornerstone of the European circuit, known for its incredible value and welcoming atmosphere for recreational players.
The Goliath is famous for turning modest buy-ins into life-changing sums. In 2025, the poker world watched as Paul Worsley transformed a career of modest earnings into a staggering £316,640 first-place prize.
By navigating the 16th-largest field in poker history, Worsley proved that the Goliath remains the ultimate "Cinderella story" destination for aspiring pros and amateurs alike.
Streamlined Registration via Mobile App
Grosvenor Poker has prioritized player convenience for the 2026 series. The Grosvenor Poker Live app, available on both iOS and Android, has been upgraded to support seamless debit card and voucher buy-ins.
This allows participants to skip the long queues and secure their seats for any of the nine starting flights well in advance.

Affordable Paths to a £2 Million Prize Pool
While the Goliath has grown consistently since its 2011 debut, the buy-in remains a player-friendly £200. For those looking to qualify for even less, Grosvenor is hosting an extensive satellite program:
- Feeder Satellites: Starting from just £1.
- Direct Satellites: £30 routes into the Main Event.
- Live Event Credit: Players winning credit through online satellites can utilize those funds across the entire 25-event schedule.
The 2026 festival arrives at a peak time for sports and gaming fans, kicking off shortly after the conclusion of the 2026 WSOP and the FIFA World Cup final.
With tickets already being won through online platforms, the momentum is building for what could be another record-breaking year in Coventry.
