PokerStars is one of the world’s biggest online poker operators, but it’s also the brand behind some of the most prestigious live poker events. From the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) to the European Poker Tour (EPT), the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) and more, the PokerStars approach to running live tournament series has seen it attract huge fields across the world - most recently in Prague.

With 2025 fast approaching, PokerStars has announced a coming together of various regional live poker series under a common banner: The PokerStars Open.

These events will run throughout the year, replacing former regional tours such as the UKIPT (UK), Estrellas (Spain), FPS (France) and Eureka (Europe).

Three new locations for 2025 line-up

Six standalone stops have been announced for the coming year, starting with a new series at the Casinò di Campione poker room in Italy’s Lombardy region - a room which only recently partnered with PokerStars in launching a branded card room. New stops have also been added in Manchester (UK), and Cannes (France).
