- Featuring £100,000 Main Event & daily satellite qualifiers.
- Mixed games include Big O, PLO, H.O.R.S.E., and more.
The PartyPoker Tour opens its 2026 season in Sheffield from January 27 to February 1, featuring a £500 Main Event with a £100,000 guarantee, a £40,000 Mini Main Event, mixed-game formats, and daily satellite qualifiers.
The PartyPoker Tour returns to the UK in January 2026, with Sheffield confirmed as the opening stop of the tour’s second season. Following a strong debut year in 2025, the tour kick-starts its new calendar at Genting Club Sheffield, running from January 27 to February 1.
The Sheffield festival is structured around accessible buy-ins, multiple formats, and flexible scheduling. While No-Limit Hold’em anchors the series, the full schedule expands into mixed games and specialist formats, offering variety across the six-day stop.
The centrepiece of the festival is the £500 Main Event, which carries a £100,000 guarantee. The tournament features four Day 1 flights, including turbo and hyper turbo options, allowing players to choose between deeper structures or faster formats.
The opening days also include the £150 Mini Main Event, which comes with a £40,000 guarantee. Multiple starting flights are available, giving players additional entry options across the first half of the series.
Both events are supported by daily satellite qualifiers, making them accessible to players managing smaller bankrolls.
