The second 888poker UK Poker League (UKPL) stop of 2026 sees the popular tour head to the seaside town of Blackpool. Best known for its nightlife, its iconic tower, and thrilling theme park, Blackpool will be awash with poker players from far and wide between May 5-10.
This festival marks the first time 888poker has visited Blackpool. The town has long been a popular destination for other poker tours. No doubt that 888poker will return again if this inaugural series is as successful as it is predicted to be.
888poker UKPL stops follow the same schedule wherever they occur, meaning that players receive the same experience regardless of where they play. The six-day festival kicks off at noon on May 5 with the first of three £250 No-Limit Hold’em Opening Voyage flights. That tournament carries a £50,000 guarantee on its prize pool.
A £1,100 High Roller, also with £50,000 guaranteed, follows the Opening Voyage on May 7, which is the same day the eagerly anticipated 888poker UKPL Blackpool Main Event shuffles up and deals.

Those who progress to Day 2 return to their seats from 12:00 p.m. BST on May 10, where play continues until a champion emerges.
While all of that is going on, other events, including the £330 NLHE PKO Rumble, £150 NLHE Seniors, and the festival-ending £200 NLHE Big Shot, give players plenty of options to get their grind on at the Grosvenor G Casino at The Sandcastle.
