Once considered one of the world’s most prestigious poker tournament series, the Aussie Millions will make its long-awaited return to Crown Melbourne in April 2026, Crown has confirmed.
In a statement issued to Inside Asian Gaming early Thursday morning, Crown said the 2026 Aussie Millions will run for 18 days from 24 April to 10 May, comprising 18 tournaments and with an estimated prize pool of AU$14 million.
Buy-ins will range from AU$1,500 to AU$25,000 with the Main Event to feature an AU$10,600 buy-in. The full schedule has not yet been released.
“We are thrilled to be welcoming Aussie Millions back to Crown Melbourne after six years and reestablishing the tournament as a must-visit on the international calendar for amateurs and elite competitors alike,” said Crown Melbourne CEO, Ed Domingo.
“The return of Aussie Millions is not just a celebration of poker, it’s a celebration of Crown and the world-class experiences and entertainment we offer our guests.”
The Aussie Millions was last held in early 2020 before being shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
