EPT Monte-Carlo

It's been over two decades since the European Poker Tour (EPT) graced the iconic surroundings of Monte-Carlo. The partnership has certainly stood the test of time because 2026 will be EPT Monte-Carlo's 21st anniversary. Time flies when you're celebrating one of the most prestigious stops on the poker circuit.

As always, this event is about greatness. If you take your seat, you'll get the opportunity to experience the ultimate test of skill in the legendary Principality. Who knows – you may even join the ranks of EPT greats and write your name in the history books. Even if you don't, you could win one of the epic prizes on offer and make memories you'll never forget, all in arguably the world's most glamorous city.

The magic of Monte-Carlo awaits, as does the stunning Salle des Etoiles, a venue that is certainly fit to host a stop of this magnitude. All that's left is for you to book your place on the French Riviera.

By air: Don’t let the fact there is no international airport in Monaco hold you back. The nearest airport is in France (Nice - Cote d'Azur Airport), which is roughly 22km (about 14 miles) from Monaco. The airport operates daily flights to most of the world’s largest cities, and PokerStars Travel can arrange a transfer for you from the airport to Monaco. There are also regular Rapides Côte D’Azur buses connecting Monte-Carlo with the airport’s terminals.

You can also fly from Nice to Monaco in 7 minutes. Helicopters leave every 30 mins and provide a breathtaking view of the French Riviera. To book your helicopter transfer contact PokerStars Travel, call +34 93 325 6777, or book directly on the BLADE website.

By train: The Monaco-Monte-Carlo station is linked to neighbouring France and Italy, and most international trains will stop here, including the 'Ligure' (which links Marseille and Milan), 'train bleu' which operates between Paris and Ventimiglia, and the famous high-speed TGV between Nice and Paris. A TGV train between Paris and Monte-Carlo takes just under 7 hours.

More information on cash games will be available soon.
