888poker Announces UKPL Manchester Schedule Alongside 30 Seat Giveaway

888poker has announced the full schedule for the penultimate UK Poker League (UKPL) stop of the 2026 season and has done so alongside a special promotion for 888poker customers in the United Kingdom.

The 888poker UKPL tour heads to Grosvenor Casino Bury New Road in the vibrant city of Manchester from September 15-20. A £560 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, boasting a £100,000 guaranteed prize pool, is the crown jewel of the bustling schedule. Thirty players registered with accounts registered in the UK will be playing for a slice of that six-figure pot for free.

From August 10 through to September 5, 888poker’s UK-based players are invited to complete the UKPL Manchester Challenge. The challenge’s mechanics are simple: play at least 40 tournaments (including BLAST) that have a $5 or more buy-in between August 10 and September 5, and you’ll receive a freeroll ticket.

Use that ticket for the special freeroll at 7:00 p.m. GMT onSeptember 6, and you’ll receive a £560 UKPL Manchester Main Event seat if you finish in the top 30. The prizes are seat-only, meaning you’ll have to make your way to Manchester under your own steam, but you’ll be fighting it out for a share of at least £100,000 without having to buy into the Main Event if you bag one of the 30x £560 tickets from the freeroll.

2024 UKPL Manchester Results

888poker last took its UKPL to Manchester in 2024 and it proved a popular stop. Jamie Geraghty came out on top in the £560 Main Event, leaving 327 opponents in his dust as he reeled in a £30,610 prize. Geraghty has since cashed in tournaments held in his native Scotland, Ireland, Slovakia, and at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) with his UKPL Manchester haul providing an ample bankroll boost.
