Changes to format as World Series of Poker announces 2026 Circuit Season
Every WSOP-C ring winner will win a bonus $5,000 package

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has announced the first portion of its highly anticipated 2026 WSOP Circuit (WSOP-C) live tournament schedule, revealing the full slate of domestic and international stops running from January-May 2026.

The 2026 season marks a historic and strategic shift for the Circuit, establishing a permanent calendar-year schedule that will run from January through December.

GGPoker.com will host online satellites to many of the WSOP Circuit main events held outside the United States.

“The WSOP Circuit is the lifeblood of our brand, consistently delivering world-class poker and massive prize pools to players across the globe,” said Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of WSOP.

“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.”

All gold ring event winners for the 2026 WSOP Circuit season will receive an exclusive $5,000 WSOP package, redeemable for either WSOP Europe or WSOP Paradise. The package will include tournament buy-in and hotel accommodations.
