The Battle of Malta is an annual no-limit Texas hold 'em variation poker tournament in Malta.
The event was founded by PokerListings.com in 2012 and is now run by Casino Malta. Designed for low- to mid-stakes poker players, the event has gone from strength to strength since its launch and is now one of the most popular stand-alone events in Europe. Battle of Malta won the 2014 European Poker Awards “Event of the Year” title in the category for buy-ins up to €2,000.
The 2024 Battle of Malta Autumn Edition, held from October 29 to November 6 at Casino Malta and the Eden Arena within the luxurious Intercontinental Hotel Malta, marked a historic milestone for the renowned poker festival. With the participation of thousands of players, the event set a new benchmark, surpassing all expectations.
The festival shattered records with an impressive total prize pool of nearly €4.8 million, exceeding the previous record of €3.8 million set in October 2019, prior to the pandemic, by over €1 million. This achievement highlights the continued growth and popularity of the Battle of Malta as one of Europe’s premier poker events.
