Five 888poker LIVE Stops in 2024

The new season of 888poker LIVE events is already underway, with the 888poker LIVE Madrid attracting 435 players and creating a prize pool of over €333k. Spaniard Manuel Ladesma was the first 888 poker champion of the year, with many more yet to be named.

The final event under the LIVE branding for the year will be played in October in Coventry, but that’s not the end, as 888poker will be offering a number of CNP and brand-new UKPL events all year long.

888poker Premiers UKPL in 2024

A brand new addition to the 888poker live tournaments schedule and the mid-major schedule for European players in 2024 will be the UK Poker League (UKPL), which makes its debut this year.

The UKPL is a product of a partnership between 888poker and Grosvenor Casinos, UK’s most popular live gaming brand.

The two companies have partnered to create standalone events over the years with great success and will be looking to create an outstanding league that will allow British poker players to enjoy poker action all year long in various destinations across the island.

UKPL looks to bring the live poker experience to players across the country, offering affordable buyins, a host of locations, and attractive prize pools that will guarantee a high level of competition in the later stages of the tournaments.

With Main Events priced at just £560, UKPL festivals will be accessible to everyone, and the operator will offer plenty of online satellites starting from just £0.01 to allow players to win their seats at an even lower premium.

Each UKPL Festival is scheduled to host the following events:

• 888poker Opening Voyage: £330
• 888poker High Roller: £1,100
• 888poker Main Event: £560
• 888poker Big Shot: £440
• 888poker Seniors Event: £150
• 888poker PLO: £150
• 888poker Closer: £200

Along with several exciting poker tournaments at each festival, UKPL will also host plenty of cash game action on the sidelines, creating an exciting opportunity for British professionals to tour the country and put in the much-needed hours at both the tournament and cash game tables.

888poker CNP Is Back in Spain in 2024

Unlike UKPL which is a new part of the European live poker calendar, CNP (Circuito Nacional de Poker) has been around for over a decade and is a festival that Spanish players are quite used to.

In 2024, CNP is making a full return, featuring five stops between February and November and covering five different cities.

888poker-sponsored events have generally been very well received in Spain in past years, so you can expect to see quite a turnout and plenty of action at each CNP stop this year.

Each festival in 2024 is set to host a €550 Main Event, an €1,100 High Roller, a €125 PLO event, and a number of side events to keep the action going throughout the week.

Here is a look at this season’s CNP schedule:

Location	Dates
Sevilla	Feb 19 – 25
Barcelona	Apr 8 – 14
Granada	Jun 17 – 23
Alicante	Sep 9 -15
Madrid	Nov 14 – 25

Win Your Seats Online at 888poker

The best thing about 888poker LIVE, UKPL, and CNP events is that 888poker runs a whole series of online satellites for all the festivals ahead of the actual kick-off date.

This means that you can spend weeks playing low-stakes satellites, whose buyins start as low as £0.01, and grind your way to a Main Event seat in any event you would like to play.

Considering the affordable nature of the festivals, you can expect dozens of tickets for each event to be given away at 888poker in the weeks leading up to it.

Make sure to log into your 888poker account well before the festival you plan to play and look for upcoming satellites to reduce the price of your buyin and give yourself the highest possible shot at a high return of investment and ultimate poker experience at a reduced price.
