A few days ago, 888poker teased players, revealing the first live stop on its 2025 live schedule on its events page. This meant that the more comprehensive schedule for the next year was around the corner, and, sure enough, that schedule had just been announced.
With the 2024 season meeting and exceeding expectations, and the Coventry festival crowning the operator’s efforts, attracting massive numbers, and blowing the Main Event guarantee out the window, 888poker is ready and motivated to do it all over again — bigger and better.
For live tournament fans all over Europe, this is great news. 888poker LIVE events have established their position as some of the best value-for-money options, with big guarantees, top-notch organization, and, of course, opportunities to meet and test your skills against the room’s ambassadors.
An Exciting Schedule Throughout the Year
There are five stops on the 2025 888poker LIVE schedule (not counting UKPL). For four of these, destinations have been announced and confirmed, while details of the final stop are yet to be revealed.
As we’ve written already, things will kick off in Spain, with the first festival happening at Madrid’s Gran Via Casino in January. After that, 888poker is traveling north, with the second stop taking place in Glasgow. Although this city hosted UKPL events in the past, this is the first time Glasgow is on the main 888poker LIVE schedule.
In May, the operator returns to Spain, but this time around, bringing some poker action to Barcelona. One of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, this Spanish city certainly has plenty to offer away from the felt as well.
London will host the fourth stop of the year at the start of September, with the renovated “The Vic” poker room welcoming all players.
The final event on the 2025 888poker LIVE schedule is yet to be revealed. It’ll probably take place in October or early November, but the operator is staying tightlipped as far as the location is concerned.
