Paris Opens the 2027 EPT Season With a Cheaper Main Event
- EPT Paris 2027 runs from 9-20 February at Le Palais de Congrès.
- Main Event buy-in reduced to €5,000 as part of a new structure.
- Online qualifiers start 15 November; full schedule yet to be released.
It's officia. Yesterday, PokerStars came out to confirm that it would open the 2027 European Poker Tour in familiar surroundings, but not at the usual price.
EPT Paris returns to Le Palais de Congrès as the 2027 season open from February 9-20. Being the first of the European stops, Paris will also be first on the new calendar to use the reduced €5,000 buy-in for its Main Event.
What Is Confirmed for EPT Paris?
| EPT Paris 2027 | Details |
|---|---|
| Dates | February 9-20, 2027 |
| Location | Paris, France |
| Venue | Le Palais des Congrès |
| EPT Main Event | €5,000 |
| PokerStars Open Main Event | €1,250 |
| PokerStars Open High Roller | €2,500 |
| Full Schedule | To be announced |
It is more than apparent that PokerStars is simplifying several of its headline buy-ins in 2027. EPT Main Events are coming down from €5,300, while the PokerStars Open Main Event will now cost €1,250 whether it is played at a standalone festival or alongside an EPT stop.
While it shared part of its 2027 calendar with us, the complete Paris schedule is yet to be released, so exact dates for the Main Event, High Rollers and other Paris tournaments remain a guessing game.
Paris Has Plenty to Follow Up
The previous EPT Paris Main Event ended with Portugal’s Jorge Abreu taking control of one of the larger fields of the season. For his 2026 title, Abreu defeated 1,474 entries to win €1,148,600, while runner-up Felix Schneiders collected €717,350.
Last year, the tournament generated more than €7 million in prize money, which leaves the 2027 edition with a record to break even before the first card is dealt.
Qualifying Starts Months Ahead
While the Parisian stop is still months away, players do not have to wait until February to begin chasing a seat.
Feeders for EPT Paris are already starting, with direct online qualifiers scheduled to begin as early as November 15 through PokerStars. Those of you who do not have a PokerStars account just yet might find our PokerStars promo code page helpful, especially its step-by-step registration guide.
More events will be added when the full schedule is released, but Paris already has its place as the first major EPT test of 2027.
