Stretch Network has announced the opening of the latest series of the Knockout Poker League.
Returning for a second year, the tournament’s first season will run from 6 February until 1 March, followed by a second season between 13 March and 5 April.
In total, more than €910,000 will be up for grabs for players, headlined by two main events with €50,000 prize pools each.
In addition, two Mini Main Events will each have €8,000 prize pools, and two Omaha Main Events will boast prize pools of €5,000. There will also be two leaderboards with a combined prize pool of €10,000 each and daily headliners with guarantees of up to €20,000.
“Knockout Poker League provides players with the opportunity to enjoy their favourite poker formats within a structured, long-running series,” stated Stretch Network.
“Following the strong performance and positive feedback from last year’s edition, the series features popular knockout formats to keep players active throughout the campaign.”
The tournament sits alongside Stretch Network’s other competitions, like the World Poker League, which ran across three seasons in 2025, and brought together players from across the poker platform provider’s operator network.
Across the three seasons, the World Poker League offered a total prize pool of over €1.5m, including prize pools of €50,000, €60,000 and €75,000 across the three main events.
