WSOP Circuit launches historical stop in Malta 2026

The European live poker calendar has added a prestigious new destination as the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) prepares for its first-ever festival in Malta.

Scheduled from September 25 to October 5, 2026, the series will be hosted at Casino Malta in St. Georges Bay.

This landmark event is being organized in partnership with Texapoker and is expected to draw a massive field of international competitors to the Mediterranean.

12 Championship Rings and Global Incentives

The 11-day festival features 12 official WSOP Circuit Ring Events, providing multiple opportunities for players to secure a piece of poker history.

The schedule is anchored by a massive Main Event and a variety of side tournaments designed for all bankroll levels.

In a significant value-add for competitors, every Ring Event winner will walk away with a 5,000 dollar package for the WSOP Bahamas, linking the Malta debut directly to the global WSOP stage.
