APAT 2026 will host 20 live tour stops across the UK and Europe
Whilst kicking off with the ever-popular UK Team Championship at the Home of UK Poker, Dusk Till Dawn Nottingham, we are expanding our association with Grosvenor Casinos to host 10 APAT UK Championship live events throughout the year, including for the first time ever, two visits into Scotland with Glasgow in the middle of the Summer and Edinburgh seeing out the Summer months. The UK Championship’s will see the first stop in North East England, in Newcastle on 10 April, and travels as far south as Portsmouth with further stops in Walsall, Leeds, Coventry, Birmingham and Blackpool before concluding the events in Reading on 20 Nov.
Genting Casino Stratford, London will again host two dedicated APAT festivals – the UKCOAP (UK Championship of Amateur Poker) in March and the BCOAP (British Championship of Amateur Poker) in October, with each having something for everyone ranging from NLHE to Omaha to an 8-Game and new for APAT, a Dealers Choice Mixed 10-Game Players Championship at BCOAP.
We’re especially thrilled to be holding the European Championship of Amateur Poker (ECOAP) and the APAT German Championship at Grand Casino Asch, Czech Republic hosted by Sandro Greulich. ECOAP will take place over the early UK May Bank Holiday Wed 29 Apr to Sun 3 May, with the European International Team Championship being held over the opening 2 days and see countries represented by a single team of 4 players from each Country, with a Team Captain confirmed in advance by APAT who will select their respective team members.
APAT return to co-host the Irish Open Championship in tandem with the Irish Open at the Royal Dublin Society (RDS), Dublin with APAT hosting over the opening weekend on Fri 27 and Sat 28 Mar, right in the middle of a fantastic Mixed Game schedule leading into the Irish Open Main and Mini events concluding on Easter Monday.
We again visit Malta twice as part of the Malta Poker Festival in April and October 2026.
The WCOAP for 2026 will be heading to Manchester in August at the Grosvenor Casino, Bury New Road and the Poker Squads 4-person team event is planned to conclude our 20 live event tour stops in 2026.
