READY TO RUFFLE SOME FEATHERS?
Spread your wings—the Eagle Cup VIII is back from October 21 to November 10, soaring with a total of GC 987,000,000 and SC 2,300,000 in guaranteed prizes. This high-flying championship is your chance to swoop in and claim victory!
The competition is fiercer than ever; only the most talon-ted players (see what we did there?) will have the wingspan to go the distance. And when we say distance, we mean all the way. Eagle Cup VIII is the second flight in the Global Poker Championships (GPC) Season '24-'25, following the GOAT VI. This season links all four championships for a showdown that culminates in the most epic Finals ever, where only the best will take to the skies.
Get ready for double the excitement: a Gold Coin final hosted online, and a live Sweeps Coin showdown in Las Vegas. Only the two players from the Eagle Cup VIII will advance to each GC and SC Final—1 Leaderboard winner and 1 Player of the Series (the player who wins the most trophies).
Missed this flight? No need to beak out—we’ve got two more championships in the nest. Each will crown a Leaderboard winner and a Player of the Series from the individual Global Poker Championships (both Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin), who will secure their spot in the epic GPC Season '24–'25 Final. F
Compete in the Global Poker Championships this season for a shot at qualifying for the end-of-season grand finale, where even more action and prizes await!
You can find all the details on how to qualify for the GPC Season Finals here.
