APAT announces 2026 tour dates

Unique formats and low buy-ins across the UK, Vegas, Malta and the Czech Republic this year.

The Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT) has just unveiled its 2026 tour schedule. 

The tour is celebrating its 20th year on the felt and this year features events in Las Vegas, Ireland, the Czech Republic and Malta. 

The majority of the events, however, take place in the United Kingdom, where the tour established itself. 

Unique formats for low buy-ins

APAT is unique in live poker in that it hosts events in mixed game formats at low buy-ins that you simply do not see in Europe. The tour also played a huge role in getting slow structures for low buy-in tournaments in the early days of the poker boom. 

It also features esoteric formats, like Team events and SNGs, across many of its festivals. Plus for fans of silverware, the top three finalists get Gold/Silver/Bronze medals, and their WCOAP event boasts bracelets. 

This is the full APAT schedule this year:
