On February 17, 2026, WSOP organizers released the full schedule for the upcoming World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. For the second year in a row, the festival will feature 100 events. All the details are in our article.
The World Series of Poker will be held for the fifth year in a row at two Las Vegas casinos: the Horseshoe and the Paris, Nevada, from May 26 to July 25, 2026. The series schedule features a record 100 events, with buy-ins ranging from $300 to $250,000.
New tournaments (all 3-day events):
All 100 bracelet tournaments will count towards the Player of the Year rankings. In 2026, the prize pool will be $1 million, with the winner receiving a $100,000 WSOP Paradise package.
The official WSOP YouTube channel will broadcast the series for free from day one with the Main Event included.
Unexpected changes have been made to the Heads-Up Championship. The tournament will now be expanded from 64 to 128 players and divided into two flights, with re-entry allowed for losers of the first flight.
Some of the most popular tournaments, Monster Stack and Millionaire Maker, have had their structure changed: you can bust on Day 2 but still re-enter one of the following starting flights (similar to what was in place at WSOP Paradise).
Now, theoretically, a player can make up to eight entries and have the option to re-enter after busting in the 20th hour of the tournament.
Furthermore, the number of starting flights has been increased in popular tournaments to allow more players to participate in the series events.
Seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu reminded players of the opportunity to win tickets to series tournaments online:
"WSOP Express satellites on GGPoker give players around the world the chance to follow in the footsteps of their heroes. Whether you qualify through GGPoker or win a package through WSOP Online in the US, we want to see you competing for bracelets in 2026."
