The full 2026 World Series of Poker scheduled was dropped today, and it includes a possible a significant change to the big daddy of the series, the Main Event.
The three-month series of 100 events that takes place at the Horseshoe and Paris casinos in Las Vegas starts May 26, with the $550 Mini Mystery Millions, and officially ends whenever the Main Event is finished.
The last official event of the series, a $1,000 buy-in super turbo, begins on July 15. But the Main Event, which Day 1s start on July 2, will run until at least July 13.
When will it end is also a mystery. According to the announcement: “As always, the centerpiece of the summer is the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship, better known as the ‘Main Event’, which begins on Thursday, July 2.
Play will proceed until the final table is reached on July 13, with specifics on the Main Event final table play dates and broadcast coverage to be announced at a later date.”
So, it looks like the final table will be delayed for broadcast. Will it be delayed all the way to November, like the WSOP did for a few years in the mid-aughts, or will the delay be less significant in order to get it front of a larger audience? The WSOP just doesn’t know yet.
Fans will be able to keep up with the storylines of the WSOP through a daily stream that will be broadcast live on WSOP’s YouTube channel starting May 26 to the end of the Main Event. The announcement also hinted at a “new and improved TV set in Paris Las Vegas and feature some of the game’s most recognizable commentators.”
“Our favorite time of year is around the corner, and we cannot wait to once again welcome the poker world back to the Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas,” said Jack Effel, Senior Vice President of Poker Operations at Caesars Entertainment. “This summer’s World Series of Poker promises more action and more opportunities to play your favorite events than ever before, from the first ‘Shuffle Up and Deal!’ to the crowning of the Main Event champion.”
Of the 100 events, 31 have buy-ins of $10,000 or more. That includes six $25,000 high rollers, four $50,000 events, two $100,000 buy-ins, and the $250,000 Super High Roller that starts on June 13.
The $50,000 Players Championship, always a highlight of the series, starts June 21.
GGPoker, whose parent NSUS Group, bought the WSOP brand in 2024, will spread thousands of satellites into WSOP events on its international platform, while people playing on WSOP.com in the United States where it’s allowed, will have significantly less options.
“GGPoker’s WSOP Express satellites allow enthusiasts all over the world to follow in the footsteps of their heroes. Whether you are an international player qualifying via GGPoker or a domestic U.S. player winning your seat via WSOP Online, we want to see you taking your shot at the gold in 2026!” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador and seven-time WSOP bracelet winner.
Like last year, WSOP officials are encouraging players to download and utilize the WSOP+ app, which allows them to skip the registration lines, as well as follow the tournaments in details through their phones.
