How a season works
Play a counted event
League events are Grosvenor's live poker events: GUKPT, G300, G200, UK Open, Goliath, 888 UKPL and more. You must play in person.
Cash and score points
A cash earns points based on the buy-in, the field size and where you finish. Your best 20 count, plus 2 points for every cash after that.
Results land every week
The league's weekly points report is added to this site, and every leaderboard, profile and record updates with it.
Climb, collect, finish the season
Leaderboards run all season. Titles and achievements are awarded automatically as results come in.

How points work
- Points are only awarded to players who cash in an event.
- How many points a cash is worth depends on the buy-in, the size of the field and your finishing position.
- Your 20 highest-scoring results count, plus 2 points for every cash after your 20th.
- You must attend and play the event in person to earn points.
After the season
- The invitational
- The top 18 in the National Poker League and the top 3 in both the High Roller and Low Roller leagues meet in a 24-player invitational at GUKPT Leg 1 at the Vic in January 2027.
- The league play-off
- The highest 75 finishers who haven't won a package play off for further packages, also at Leg 1. You must attend to take part.
- Last Chance Online Play-off
- The top 200 who haven't won a package are invited to an online play-off after the live play-off. You register yourself once it appears in the online lobby.
- One invitational seat per player
- If a player qualifies through more than one league, the National Poker League seat comes first, then the High Roller League; the seat they don't take passes to the next player in that league.
- Ties
- A tie at the top is decided by the most top-three finishes, then the most final tables.

Every achievementAbout this site
This site is the public record of the National Poker League, built with the league's endorsement. It isn't run by Grosvenor Casinos Limited; the official league table is also in the Poker Live app. Every result comes from the league's own weekly points report, so the leaderboards are only as fresh as the latest report.
Players who haven't agreed to show their name appear as initials and can't be found by searching. Personal details from the report are never shown.
Play responsibly
The league is for players aged 18 and over. Set limits, take breaks, and if gambling stops being fun, free and confidential support is available at GambleAware.org.
