How to Qualify for EPT Prague 2026
PokerStars offers two main routes into EPT Prague: regular online satellites and the Power Path qualification system.
Regular satellites
You can get into the satellite ladder for as little as €5.50. Feeder tournaments offer a route to bigger qualifiers, where EPT Prague packages are up for grabs. Check the PokerStars lobby for the latest schedule, as the final online satellites take place on December 7.
PokerStars Power Path
The four-step qualification ladder starts with a $0.50 Spin & Go and progresses through increasingly valuable tournaments.
| Step | Tournament | Buy-in | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3-player Hyper-Turbo Spin & Go | €1 | Step 2 ticket |
| 2 | 16-player Sit & Go or MTT | €1 / €1.50 | Step 3 ticket |
| 3 | Multi-Table Tournament | €11 | Step 4 ticket |
| 4 | Ticket-only Multi-Table Tournament | €55 ticket | Power Pass prizes |
The final Step 4 tournament is ticket-only, so you cannot simply buy directly into it. Finish high enough to win one of the available Power Pass rewards.
The Gold Power Pass is worth $10,300 and can include an EPT Prague package with tournament entries, accommodation or expenses, depending on the selected package option.
To find the qualifiers, open the PokerStars client and navigate to:
- Events
- Live
- EPT Prague
- All Satellites or Direct Satellites
Satellite availability, buy-ins and package details can change, so check the current tournament lobby before registering.
