GUKPT Grand Final 2026: Full Tournament Schedule

The schedule includes 10 numbered live tournament events, starting with the GUKPT Midi on November 19. The Main Event begins on November 26, with the GUKPT Cup and closing tournaments completing the live festival on November 29.

The Champion of Champions final takes place on November 18, outside the official November 19-29 festival dates. It is the finale of The Victoria's year-long Victoria Championships, rather than a regular GUKPT event.

The online Closer also continues after the live festival, with Day 1 scheduled for November 30 at 7 PM and Day 2 on December 1 at 7 PM. Its buy-in is £100 + £10, with a £15,000 guarantee.

£500,000 GUKPT Grand Final Main Event

The £2,000 Main Event is the festival's headline tournament, with £500,000 guaranteed. It features three starting flights, including a turbo option, before Day 2 and the final day.

The £1,250 GUKPT Midi opens the live tournament schedule with a £250,000 guarantee. It has three regular starting flights and a Hyper flight, followed by Day 2 on November 21 and the final day on November 22.

The £2,500 High Roller carries a £150,000 guarantee, while the £340 Mini Main also offers £150,000. The GUKPT Cup has a £50,000 guarantee.

GUKPT Grand Final 2026 Satellites and Online Qualification

Players can qualify through live Target Cashout Satellites and online feeder tournaments.

The live Main Event satellites generally have a £200 + £20 buy-in, with several sessions offering guaranteed seats

Grosvenor Poker is also running online feeder satellites from £1, progressing through £5 and £30 qualifiers. Higher-level qualifiers award Live Event Credit worth £200, £300, £500 or £1,250.

The credit can be used towards any GUKPT tournament, either covering the entire buy-in or part of it. Any remaining balance must be paid at the casino cash desk. If a larger credit is used for a cheaper tournament, the difference is issued as tournament credit.

Grosvenor states that Live Event Credit does not expire, allowing players to retain it for another GUKPT event if they cannot attend the Grand Final.
