From November 20 to November 29, The Festival will once again take over Olympic Park Casino Tallinn, bringing ten days of poker, mixed games, cash game action, and plenty of unique Festival entertainment to the Estonian capital. This time, it will have over 70 unique events!
The Festival Tallinn has always been about much more than just traditional No-Limit Hold’em, and the 2026 schedule takes that idea to another level. Alongside the €555 Main Event and €350 The Hendon Mob Championship, players can look forward to Mystery Bounty action, Total Knock Out, a Sviten Special World Record Attempt, the Chicago European Championship, multiple High Rollers, Bomb Pot Feature tournaments, Mixed Games, and plenty of other formats that you simply don’t find on any other poker schedule.
With an epic number of tournaments (70+) and games taking place at Olympic Park Casino Tallinn, this is shaping up to be a very special Festival stop, marking our final stop of 2026.
Tournament Schedule The Festival Series Tallinn 2026
The Festival Tallinn 2026 runs from November 20 until November 29, with more than 70 unique events spread over 10 days of pure poker madness. The schedule features an epic mix of tournaments, ranging from free-buy satellites and lower buy-in side events, to multi-day tournaments, to High Rollers and Casino Games Championship events.
The schedule is particularly strong when it comes to variety. There is plenty of NLH action for players who prefer the classic game, but also a huge selection of Mixed Games and alternative poker formats, including TORSES, Sviten Special, 8-Game, 10-Game, Dealers Choice, OFC Pineapple, Big O, Crazy Pineapple, PLO tournaments, and several Bomb Pot variations.

Hold’em Tournaments
While we realise that Mixed Games are still flowing through our DNA, we never have let Hold’em fans down. On the contrary of it, our event is having the the most Hold’em tournaments per day on average. All the variants you can imagine in Hold’em are present: Hold’em freezeout, Knockout tournaments, Rebuy tournaments, and of course, multi-day tournaments.
During The Festival Tallinn 2026, we will come up with variants that you might not have seen before, but fit perfectly with our series: NLH 7-2 Special (Incl INES rules), NLH Total Knockout, NLH Brunch, and more.
We keep on gamifying Hold’em all the way!
A Festival Stop With Much More Than Just Poker
While the tournament schedule alone is enough to get excited about, The Festival Tallinn is designed to offer a complete experience around the poker tables as well. The Cash Game Challenge, Franke’s Flip Flops and the PLO5 Flip Tournament all add a different kind of competition to the week, while players can also take part in the Slots Championship, Blackjack Championship and Sportsbook Championship.
That mix is what makes The Festival different. You can spend the morning battling through a Mixed Game tournament, jump into a Bomb Pot feature tournament or a Hold’em tournament later in the day, take part in the Cash Game Challenge in the evening, and still have plenty of unique Festival events happening around you.
The Festival Tallinn 2026 is therefore shaping up to be one of the most diverse stops yet. With Olympic Park Casino Tallinn as the home of the action, ten days of tournaments, an epic range of poker variants, championship events, high rollers, cash game challenges and plenty of Festival favourites, there should be something for virtually every poker player.
If you ever considered joining one of our The Festival stops, then this stop must be circled with a red marker on your calendars. Tallinn is an amazing city, the Olympic Park Casino is one of the coolest casinos in Europe, and with The Festival on location, including the hospitality events for online qualifiers, it’s promised to see fireworks way before New Year’s Eve this year!
