Malta, 27 May – 3 June 2026 – The Battle of Malta team is proud to officially announce a major upgrade to the 2026 edition of the festival: the guaranteed prize pool has been increased from €500,000 to a massive €1,000,000 GTD.
This landmark decision reflects the continued growth of the Battle of Malta brand and the unwavering support of the global poker community. What started as one of Europe’s most accessible and player-friendly poker festivals has now evolved into one of the continent’s premier poker events — and 2026 will mark its most ambitious Sunner Edition yet.
Hosted at Casino Malta, the Battle of Malta will take place from 27th May to 3rd June 2026, bringing together international players, qualifiers, live-event regulars, and recreational poker enthusiasts in one of Europe’s most iconic poker destinations.
