Sunday Million Live
Mark your calendars for this historic moment – the Sunday Million is coming to the live tables from October 2-12, 2026.
To celebrate PokerStars 25th anniversary, this special event will be available to play on-the-felt for the first time since 2017. Taking place on the shores of the stunning Lake Lugano at the Casino of Campione d’Italia, Sunday Million Live will bring all the passion and determination players associate with the digital tournament.
But this time, it’ll also twin the electric atmosphere of the PokerStars Live Room, adding an extra element to an already world-class experience. Oh, and let’s not forget about the prize pool. The Sunday Million Live wouldn’t be the same without the epic guaranteed prize pool, which is why a share of €1,000,000 is up for grabs.
So, if you want to test your poker skills against the best in the world, but on the actual felt this time, Sunday Million Live is the event for you. After all, it’s the ultimate way to see if your poker skills can stand up to scrutiny.
