There's a brand-new poker series coming to Europe in 2025 and it's going to be massive: The PokerStars Open. The series comprises six standalone stops plus two Open Main Events at European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona and EPT Monte Carlo, with each featuring a €1/£1 million guaranteed Main Event.
The PokerStars Open replaces the Estrellas, Eureka, FPS, and UKIPT , promising to take elements of these popular tours to make the new PokerStars Open a roaring success. Each of the six standalone stops plus the special events at EPT Barcelona and EPT Monte Carlo boast a Main Event with a €1/£1 million guaranteed prize pool.
The first of six standalone PokerStars Opens shuffles up and deals on March 10 in picturesque Campione, Italy. The new tour heads to Ireland in April, where it forms part of the Irish Open, before heading to Namur in Belgium in May.
Players can enjoy some poker fun in the sun in June when PokerStars Open Malaga takes place. The tour lands in Manchester, United Kingdom, in late June before wrapping up in Cannes on the French Riviera in December.
Through into the mix the PokerStars Opens running during EPT Monte Carlo in late April/early May, and EPT Barcelona in mid-August, and you can see it's going to be a busy debut season for the PokerStars Open.

|---|---|---|
| March 10-16 | Campione | Casino di Campione, Italy |
| April 10-21 | Irish Open | Royal Dublin Society, Dublin, Ireland |
| May 28-June 9 | Namur | Circus Casino Resort, Namur, Belgium |
