It’s been a while, Manchester. Thankfully, the wait is finally over – PokerStars is returning to one of the UK’s biggest cultural cities in 2025 with the PokerStars Open Manchester. Even better, we’re going to be in the heart of the center thanks to Manchester235, situated a short walk from Deansgate.

This stop deserves to kick-off with a bang, and with a broad range of events on the felt, there’s no doubt there will be exciting competition when the cards start flying. Of course, Manchester is a notorious entertainment hotspot, too, providing fantastic places to eat, drink and be immersed in the amenities.

Thanks to the intensity of the action merged with the charm and vibrancy of the city, you’ve got a stop that promises to offer a warm welcome. This is sure to be electric.

Move aside, Monaco. There’s a new star-studded event in town – the PokerStars Open Cannes. Held in the Palace of Festivals and Congresses of Cannes, the same venue as the legendary Cannes Film Festival, there aren’t many places that offer the luxury and prestige of this resort town in the south of France.

So, when it comes to ending the year on a high, there’s no better place to be than Cannes, especially when we’ll be revealing the winners of the PokerStars League awards. Blend the area’s history of holding high-class events and PokerStars ability to organize epic poker action and you’ve got a prestigious event that’s new on the circuit.

Calling all poker enthusiasts – an unforgettable experience of high stakes, luxury and culture awaits. All you have to do is take your seat at the table.

The return of the PokerStars Open Campione can only mean one thing – the start of the PokerStars Open season. And like all great seasons, this one kicks off in style, with the Casinò di Campione hosting from the epic, “always-on” PokerStars Poker Room.

We think it’s one of the best places to experience live poker in the world, and the numbers from the inaugural event back that up. Over 2,400 people entered the PokerStars Open Campione last year, battling for a share of over €2.3 million in total. This year, we’re aiming to take these figures to the next level, with more entries, bigger prize pools and even better action at the tables.

Plus, there aren’t many better places to unwind off the table than the elegant surroundings of Campione d'Italia, an Italian commune bordering the Swiss canton of Ticino. It’s safe to say this year is going to be special for the PokerStars Open – do you really want to miss out?

2025 was a record-breaking year for the PokerStars Open Namur. Last year, there were 1,572 entries and €1,493,400 offered in total prize pools, but that doesn’t mean we’re resting on our laurels. This time, we’re aiming to take Namur to the next level – more players, bigger guaranteed prizes and on-the-felt action to rival the entire PokerStars Open. Talk about the biggest poker festival in Belgium.

One thing that won’t change is the location. Namur is an historical city split by two rivers. On the right side, you’ll find the old town that’s home to the ancient Citadel which has been given UNESCO World Heritage status. To the left is the Circus Casino Resort Namur, a venue fit to host a popular live poker event in the heart of Wallonia.

So, whichever side you choose when you’re in Namur, you’ll never be far away from the action, whether it’s at the tables or off-the-felt.
