EPT Barcelona
Stunning beaches. Vibrant nightlife. World-class cuisine. Barcelona has it all – making it a perfect stop to return to for the 2024 European Poker Tour (EPT).
Oh, and we did we mention it’s the 20th anniversary of the EPT this year? Of course, that means we’re going to celebrate in style to pay homage to 20 years of champions.
Featuring world-class poker action, it’s sure to be an unmissable player experience from the first hand to the last. Plus, the off-the-felt activities are bigger and better than ever, including the epic players’ party on September 1 featuring renowned DJs such as Kiko Rivera, Christophe and Willy William.
So, join us August 26 to September 8 at the luxurious Casino Barcelona for one of the EPTs most well-loved stops of the year.
Will we see you there?
