Crown Poker has released the full schedule for the long-awaited return of the Aussie Millions in 2026, boasting an impressive 18-event schedule running across 17 days from 24 April to 10 May at Crown Melbourne.
Although slightly trimmed down from the 23-event schedule the last time this famous tournament series was held in 2020, it does represent a vital stepping stone in post-pandemic evolution of the Australian poker scene.
And, as always, there are some particularly notable events that are sure to attract hefty fields – starting with the $1,500 Opening Event with its guaranteed $1 million prize pool. The Opening Event, offers four Day 1 flights over three days, with the fourth of those being a Turbo structure.
Also catching the eye is the $1,500 Mystery Bounty from Tuesday 28 April, which will undoubtedly provide the chance for those players who make it through to Day 2 to draw some massive bounties.
The two flagship events, however, are the $25K Challenge, which kicks off on Sunday 3 May, and the Main Event itself. Retaining its traditional $10,600 buy-in, the Main Event will in 2026 include three opening day flights and five full days of play for whoever goes all the way – culminating in the final table on Sunday 10 May.
“We’re thrilled to unveil the 2026 Aussie Millions schedule, which blends iconic fan favourites with exciting new formats,” said Daniel Turbiano, Table Games Casino Manager at Crown Resorts.
“This year’s series kicks off with our Opening Event featuring a guaranteed $1 million prize pool, alongside the innovative Mystery Bounty that adds an extra layer of suspense. Of course, the crown jewel remains our prestigious $10,600 Main Event, a tournament that continues to attract the world’s best players and deliver unforgettable moments. With this mix of tradition and innovation, we’re confident the 2026 Aussie Millions will set a new benchmark for poker again.”
