The European Poker Tour's annual trip to Monaco is locked in for 2027.

Yesterday evening, PokerStars made it official, announcing it will bring the tour back to Sporting Monte-Carlo from April 21 through May 2, making it the second EPT festival on next year’s five-stop schedule.

EPT Monte-Carlo 2027	Details
Dates	April 21-May 2, 2027
Location	Sporting Monte-Carlo
Venue	Monaco
EPT Main Event	€5,000
PokerStars Open Main Event	€1,250
PokerStars Open High Roller	€2,500

The daily schedule is still being kept secret, so exact Main Event dates and the high-roller lineup are still anyone's guess.

The Main Event Gets Its First Price Change in 15 Years

The 2027 festival comes during a wider overhaul of PokerStars Live pricing. As of the 2027 poker season, All EPT Main Events will now cost €5,000 instead of €5,300. PokerStars Open Main Events move to €1,250, while Open High Rollers at EPT stops fall to €2,500.

The first stop to test the waters on this will be EPT Paris, scheduled as the opening EPT event earlier in February.

Monte-Carlo will thus look a little different from the festival Roman Stoica won in May. That Main Event attracted 1,011 entries and paid Stoica €825,000 from a €4.9 million prize pool.

Same Monaco Home

Even with seasonal overhauls, Sporting Monte-Carlo remains the venue, with the property located on Avenue Princess Grace and tournament action taking place inside the Salle des Étoiles.

Since the festival is still more than a few months away, qualifiers still haven't been announced, but we'd expect them to make their anual appearence closer to the festival.

For now, Monte-Carlo has its place on the calendar, its venue and a Main Event price players have not seen on the EPT for more than a decade.
