The World Series of Poker announced the first portion of the 2026 tournament schedule in December, revealing the event stops through May. The new season marks a strategic shift for the WSOPC, establishing a permanent calendar-year schedule running from January through December.

“The WSOP Circuit is the lifeblood of our brand, consistently delivering world-class poker and massive prize pools to players across the globe,” WSOP CEO Ty Stewart said. “Shifting to a calendar-year season for 2026 marks a new era of predictability for our players, allowing them to better plan their pursuit of the coveted gold rings.”

New to the series, all gold ring event winners in 2026 will receive an exclusive $5,000 WSOP package, redeemable for either the WSOP Europe or WSOP Paradise tournament series. The package includes tournament buy-in and hotel accommodations. Additionally, all 2026 WSOPC stops will utilize the WSOP+ app. This digital platform is designed to enhance the player experience from entry to exit, offering streamlined tournament registration, payout information and real-time data access for every event.

The initial schedule spans the first five months of the year. Each series features a $1,700 main event and standardized structures. Here’s a look at the upcoming stop.
