Battle of Malta is bringing its popular event to Barcelona in January 2027, following the success of its Slovakia leg held at Card Casino Bratislava.

Battle of Malta, one of Europe's most popular poker festivals, is held at Casino Malta. The Barcelona organization will take place at Casino Barcelona. The two casinos will jointly present the Battle of Malta Barcelona Edition from January 20 to 24, 2027.

The event's main attraction is the 600 euro Main Event. Players will sit down at tables with 40,000 starting chips and play in 40-minute levels. Blind levels begin at 100/100. A 20-minute break is given at the end of level 4, and a 45-minute dinner break follows the end of level 8.

In level 1, players start with 400 big blinds. Late registration closes at the end of level 11. Players who reach the maximum level through late registration will start level 12 with 16 big blinds. Day 1 is expected to finish at around 01:45.

On Day 1D, which uses a turbo structure, the blind levels are the same but there is no dinner break. A 20-minute break is given after the seventh 20-minute level. The day is expected to end at around 15:30.

Players who advance to the second day will continue at 17:00 on January 23 with 50-minute levels. The third and final day will begin at 16:00 on January 24, and levels will last one hour until a champion is determined.
