The fourth leg of the 2026 888poker LIVE tour is rapidly approaching, and London is calling. 888poker LIVE London takes place at Grosvenor’s London Victoria Casino from October 8-18, with its schedule including a £1,250 buy-in Main Event.

888poker has today launched satellites to the 888poker LIVE London Main Event. Those satellites start from only $0.01, culminating in a $109 buy-in 888poker LIVE London Festival 2026 ME Qualifier where $2,500 packages wait to be won.

Should you be one of the lucky players to capture an 888poker LIVE London package, you will receive:

• A £1,250 entry to the 888poker LIVE London Main Event
• $500 for accommodation costs
• $300 for travel expenses

Last September, the 888poker LIVE London Main Event attracted 367 entrants, creating a £383,500 prize pool, well above the advertised £250,000 guarantee. Gang Wang was the last player standing after he defeated Calogero Morreale heads-up; Wang walked away with £86,600 to show for his victory.

In addition to satellites starting from only $0.01, 888poker is running a special challenge for three weeks in September, where those completing the challenge have an opportunity to win one of four $2,500 packages.

The 888poker LIVE London challenge runs from September 5-26. Anyone completing one of the following challenges receives a freeroll ticket for a tournament starting at 7:00 p.m. BST on September 27. Finish in the top four of that special freeroll, and a $2,500 package is all yours.

• Play in at least 50 tournaments with buy-ins of at least $5
• Win 500 cash game hands
• Play at least 75 BLAST games with buy-ins of at least $5

Although 888poker is still putting the finishing touches to the London Festival’s schedule, players are in for a treat if it follows in the footsteps of the 2025 edition.

PokerNews was on the tournament floor throughout the 888poker LIVE London Festival last year, and it is fair to say it was a roaring success. 888poker ambassadors Vivian Saliba and Nick Eastwood each bagged a title. Saliba took down the £550 Big Shot for £12,135, while Eastwood triumphed in the £220 Closer for £4,860.
