Grosvenor Poker confirmed the highly anticipated return of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) to Bedfordshire with the upcoming GUKPT Luton 2026. In a little less than a month, May 14 through May 24 to be exact, players will be fighting for their share of the £250,000 guaranteed Main Event. As the fourth leg of the 2026 circuit, it is poised to build on the massive, record-breaking turnouts seen earlier this year in London and Manchester.

Here is everything you need to know before the cards get in the air at G Casino Luton next month.

What GUKPT Luton Looks Like in 2026

Grosvenor has a knack for putting together schedules that appeal to both recreational runners and seasoned pros, and the Luton stop plays into that.

Spanning ten days, the festival features a packed roster of events. Beyond the immediate cash payouts, players will also be vying for crucial National Poker League (NPL) points, giving regulars extra incentive to grind out the series to climb the season leaderboard.

Here is a look at the standout tournaments on the docket:

Event	Buy-in Range	Guarantee
G500 Kickoff	£450 + £50	£100K
Mini Main Event	£300 + £40	£150K
PLO High Roller	£1,000 + £100	£50K
Main Event	£1,100 + £150	£250K
GUKPT Cup	£500 + £50	£50K

How to Win Your Seat

If dropping over a grand on a single buy-in isn't in your current plans, Grosvenor provides several ways to secure a Main Event ticket at a steep discount.

Live Target Satellites: G Casino Luton will be running regular live qualifiers directly on the casino floor. These typically cost around £125 + £15 and run on a "Target Cashout" format, hit the target chip stack and your Main Event ticket is locked in instantly, meaning you don't even have to wait for the bubble to burst.
Grosvenor Poker Online Steps: If you prefer the virtual felt, you can start grinding step satellites online right now. Players can jump in for pennies and work their way up to weekly finals that award £1,250 tickets, which are valid for any live GUKPT Main Event.
High Roller Qualifiers: Looking to mix it up in the heavier buy-in events? Keep an eye out for £220 live satellites held on-site right before the major High Roller tournaments kick off, offering a direct path to the biggest prize pools.
