Kings of Tallinn 2026: The Series Returns in February, Satellites Start in January

From February 5–15, 2026, Tallinn will once again host the region’s flagship poker festival, Kings of Tallinn. The series takes place at Olympic Park Casino and Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel and is considered one of the key live poker events in the Baltic region.

The Kings of Tallinn 2026 schedule features more than 70 tournaments, including a wide range of side events and the festival’s centerpiece, the €1,100 Main Event with a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Cash games across multiple limits will be available throughout the series.

In the lead-up to the festival, Olympic Park Casino will run a set of live satellites in January, giving players the opportunity to qualify for both the Main Event and selected Kings of Tallinn side events at a reduced cost.
