EPT Paris Opens New Season of 2026 European Poker Tour

The 2026 season of the European Poker Tour (EPT) is about to kick off, with the first stop confirmed in the romantic city of Paris. According to Hochgepokert, EPT Paris will serve as the season opener, continuing the EPT's classic European event calendar.

Since its founding in 2004, the EPT has been one of the most influential poker tour series in Europe. As a traditional EPT stop, Paris has hosted multiple main events, attracting top players from around the world. Choosing Paris as the starting point for the 2026 season marks the EPT's continued commitment to deepening its presence in the European market and providing players with a high-quality tournament experience.

Currently, the specific dates, format, and prize pool for the 2026 EPT Paris have not been announced, but it is expected to uphold the EPT's usual high standards: including a main event, high roller events, and side events, all using a tournament structure. France has a large poker player base, and the atmosphere at Paris events has always been vibrant, promising a spectacular poker festival.

The EPT brand is now operated by PokerStars. As a competitor to the World Poker Tour (WPT), the EPT is known for its luxurious venues and substantial prize pools.
