As the 2026 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event nears its conclusion, many are already looking ahead to the traditional WSOP in Las Vegas, beginning at the end of next month. On Wednesday, Caesars Entertainment released the schedule for this year’s WSOP Online bracelet events.
There will be 30 online gold bracelet tourneys this year, with $7 million in guaranteed prize pools. They will run concurrently with the live WSOP, May 30 through July 14.
The online bracelet events are open to players on WSOP Online in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. While competing for a bracelet online is certainly more convenient than traveling to Las Vegas, some players are complaining that the start times make it more difficult for players in the eastern time zone, which includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the vast majority of Michigan.
To be fair, that complaint just depends on the tournament and, of course, a person’s daily schedule. Almost all of the online bracelet events start at 3:30pm or 4:30pm PST, which is 6:30pm or 7:30pm for those on eastern time. That’s generally going to be fine for those players, whereas it could be more difficult for those in Nevada with regular jobs.
The gripe eastern players have is with the Day 2 starting times of some of the biggest events: $1 million guaranteed Mystery Bounty, $1.5 million guaranteed Mystery Bounty, and the Colossus, all of which have Day 2s that begin at 6:30pm PST, or 9:30pm out east.
The bottom line is that you can’t please everyone, especially with players spread across the US.
The 2026 WSOP Online bracelet schedule will kick off on May 30 with the aptly-named $400 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Kick Off event. The highly anticipated $555 No-Limit Hold’em $1 million guaranteed Mystery Bounty event begins the next day, with Day 2 on June 8.
One-third of the events will have buy-ins of $1,000 or more, including the $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller Six-Max Championship, beginning on June 27. That tournament, along with the two $3,200 High Roller events, will have live final tables in Las Vegas.
In addition to the bracelet events, WSOP Online will hold two 25 Seat Scramble Events that will award 25 spots in the $10,000 WSOP Main Event.
