Here’s a Full List of New Events on the 2026 WSOP Schedule

The 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule features 100 gold bracelet events, maintaining much of its traditional structure while introducing several important updates for both professional and recreational poker players.

This year’s edition also brings new energy to the summer poker festival with expanded tournament formats, additional high-stakes action, and the introduction of live-streamed cash game content directly from the WSOP venue for the first time.

One of the biggest highlights is the arrival of the Hustler Casino Live Million Dollar Game at the WSOP stage on June 12 in Las Vegas, replacing its usual Los Angeles location. This marks a major shift in how high-stakes poker content is delivered to global audiences.

The $1 million buy-in game is part of a broader initiative known as “WSOP High Stakes Live,” which also includes additional feature table livestreams scheduled on June 5, 6, 13, 19, and 20. These sessions are expected to bring continuous elite-level poker action throughout the series.

New Bracelet Events at the 2026 WSOP

The 2026 WSOP kicks off on May 26 with the $550 Mini Mystery Millions, a redesigned version of last year’s massive-field tournament. With nearly 20,000 entries in its previous edition, the event is expected to once again attract one of the largest live poker fields in the world.

On May 31, Event #11 introduces the $10,000 GGMillion$ No-Limit Hold’em High Roller, inspired by the popular online tournament series from GGPoker.

Another key addition arrives on June 2 with Event #16, the $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em U.S. Circuit Championship, giving WSOP Circuit players a chance to compete for bracelet glory instead of traditional circuit rings.

Expanded Game Variety and Formats

The 2026 schedule also expands Pot-Limit Omaha offerings with new formats designed for mixed-game specialists.

Event #53 on June 18 features the $1,500 Five-Card PLO, while Event #91 on July 9 introduces the $1,500 Pick Your PLO, a dealer’s choice event including multiple Omaha variations such as PLO, PLO8, Five-Card PLO (High), and Big O.

These additions reflect WSOP’s continued push toward more diverse and strategic poker formats.

WSOP Circuit Joins the Summer Festival

In a major first, the WSOP Circuit Las Vegas series will run alongside the main WSOP bracelet schedule from July 14 to July 25, creating an extended poker festival experience in Las Vegas.

This additional series includes multiple ring events, deepstack tournaments, and high roller action across the final stretch of the summer schedule.
