WPT Global Joins Forces with Dublin Poker Festival for 2026
- Dublin Poker Festival partners with WPT Global for 2026.
- Introduction of online satellites for easier entry.
- Event dates: Feb 19 - Mar 1 at Bonnington Hotel, Dublin.
The Dublin Poker Festival has added some fire power to its 2026 season. In an Instagram announcement last week, the festival confirmed its partnership with WPT Global and the start of what both sides frame as a long-term collaboration.
While the message was brief, but the implication was clear: more value for players and a broader reach for the event.
The festival, scheduled between 19 February and 1 March at the Bonnington Hotel Conference Centre, is already one of the island's most established poker fixtures. With WPT Global on board, players get a digital way into a series that has traditionally been overwhelmingly live-entry.

A Festival with Online Satellites for the First Time
The most immediate outcome of the partnership is pretty clear. Online satellites for the Dublin Poker Festival will run on WPT Global, probably in the not-so-distant future. The festival’s post didn’t list buy-ins or structures, but it did encourage players to “keep checking the page,” meaning more details are on the way.
For a festival now entering its 18th year, attaching an online qualifier system through a major operator is a big shift. It gives players outside Ireland an easier entry route, and it gives local players a more flexible way to secure seats in the headline events.
