National Poker League 2026
1 Jan – 31 Dec 2026 · Grosvenor Casinos nationwide and online, United Kingdom
The National Poker League is the season-long points competition that runs across every Grosvenor tour at once — the GUKPT, the UKPL, the UK Open, Behemoth, the G200, the G300 and Goliath — with a £40,000 package at the top.
What counts
Points come from NPL events played in Grosvenor venues and online. The qualifying series for 2026 are the GUKPT, the UKPL, the UK Open, Behemoth, the G200, the G300 and Goliath. Grosvenor also reserves the right to designate special events, live or online, that award points outside those series.
How points are awarded
Three inputs: the cost of entry, the size of the field and the finishing position. Only players who cash in an event score, and the player must have attended and played it in person. Restricted-entry events — Seniors, Ladies and the like — do not award points.
The two sub-leagues
The High Roller League runs across UK venues for players at the top buy-in levels. New for 2026 is the Low Roller League, where the top nine share £15,000.
The deduction
On UKPL-branded events a 1 per cent slice of the prize pool funds the NPL, taken after any overlay is calculated. Online events carry no deduction.
Qualifying cheaply
Grosvenor runs weekly online satellites that guarantee £20,000 in live event credit, which can be used towards entry to NPL events at a casino cash desk.
