The 2026 Battle of Malta Fall Edition runs from October 27 to November 4 at Casino Malta in St. Julian’s. The festival carries €2 million in guaranteed prize pools. The €600 Main Event accounts for €1.5 million of the total, with a €300,000 guaranteed High Roller and €150,000 guaranteed Mystery Siege of Malta also on the schedule, according to reporting by PokerNews.

Schedule Offers Events Across Buy-Ins and Formats

Nine starting flights for the Main Event run from October 28 through November 1. The €600 flights provide 40,000 chips and 40-minute levels. The €300 flights provide 20,000 chips and 20-minute levels. Day 2 begins November 1 with the final table set for November 4.

Supporting events include the €450 Mystery Siege of Malta with €200 mystery bounties, the €1,100 Star Yes High Roller, the €5,200 Mega Teddy High Roller, and the €2,200 Casino Malta Royal High Roller. The schedule also lists PLO tournaments, a €300 Sviten event, a €330 H.O.R.S.E. tournament, and the €330 PokerNews Open on November 3 with a 30,000 starting stack and 25-minute levels.

Growth Record Raises Question of Further Increases

The Battle of Malta generated €4,782,250 in prize money in 2024. That total rose to €6,064,470 in 2025, an increase of nearly 27 percent. Last year’s festival awarded more than €6 million overall. The 2026 Summer Edition Main Event drew 2,667 entries for a €1,186,962 prize pool, with Alejandro Asenjo taking €94,520 after a four-way deal. His friend Cosme Gomez won the 2024 Autumn Edition Main Event. Whether the Fall Edition surpasses recent totals will turn on actual entries, yet the breadth of events supplies clear incentive for participation from across Europe.
