PokerStars Live League 2026 Unveils Bigger Rewards and €100K Freeroll
The PokerStars Live League is set to return in 2026 with bigger rewards and a new exclusive event. Players will compete across three leaderboards—High, Medium, and Low—with the top 30 from each earning a spot in a €100,000 live freeroll at the first European Poker Tour (EPT) event of 2027. Organisers have also announced increased prize pools for the highest finishers in each category.
The 2026 edition will follow a familiar points system, where players earn rewards based on buy-in amounts, entry numbers, and finishing positions. These points apply to European PokerStars live events, allowing participants to climb the High, Medium, or Low Leaderboards throughout the year.
Last year’s champions—Enrico Camosci (High), Gerard Rubiralta Cortes (Medium), and Steinn Thanh Du Karlsson (Low)—secured their titles by accumulating the most points in their respective tiers. This time, the stakes are higher. The top three in each leaderboard will receive live event credits: €50,000, €25,000, and €12,500 for the High tier; €25,000, €12,500, and €6,250 for Medium; and €15,000, €7,500, and €3,750 for Low. A major new addition for 2026 is the €100,000 live freeroll, open exclusively to the top 30 players from each leaderboard. This high-profile event will take place at the first EPT stop of 2027, offering an extra incentive for consistent performers. Willie Elliot, PokerStars Live Events Customer Engagement Manager, has expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming season. The expanded rewards and the freeroll are expected to draw even more competition across all tiers.
The 2026 PokerStars Live League kicks off with more ways to win and a new freeroll opportunity. The top 30 players in each leaderboard will now compete for a share of €100,000 at the start of 2027. Meanwhile, the highest finishers in High, Medium, and Low tiers will still claim substantial live event credits as before.
