PokerStars Open Malaga Aims for Another Record-Breaking Year
- PokerStars Open returns to Malaga June 16-22, 2026.
- €1 million guaranteed Main Event with expanded schedule.
- Events for all, from €220 Deep Stack to €2,200 High Roller.
Following a historic 2025 season that saw attendance figures soar, the PokerStars Open returns to Malaga this June with eyes on yet another benchmark. The 2026 edition, running from June 16 to June 22, is built on a foundation of "continuity and adjustment," offering the same beloved Spanish hospitality with a significantly refined tournament schedule.
With a massive €1 million guarantee on the Main Event, the tour is signaling that Southeast Spain is no longer just a regional stop.
Optimized for Depth: Structure and Satellites
Tournament staff have noted that the 2026 festival features some of the strongest structures in the industry. The Main Event's Day 2 and beyond utilize 60-minute levels, ensuring that skill, not just variance, dictates the outcome in the closing stages.
To make the series accessible to everyone, the satellite program has been vastly expanded. Beyond the standard Main Event qualifiers (starting at just €185), players can now win their way into the €2,200 High Roller and the €5,000 Super High Roller through on-site satellites throughout the week.
Something for Every Bankroll
The 2026 schedule has been carefully curated to provide value at every price point. Novices can find their footing in the €220 Deep Stack (Event #2) or the €220 Knockout (Event #1).
For those looking for a fast-paced finale, the Last Chance Deep Stack (Event #17) on Sunday offers a €550 buy-in with a 50,000 starting stack. Whether you are a high-stakes regular or a live-table novice, Malaga's variety ensures that nobody is left out of the action.
