But it’s a gooooood one!

GGPoker is setting the stage for a record-shattering WSOP Online series.

The festival runs from August 16 to September 29, featuring 33 bracelet events and a total prize pool that could exceed $350 million. Promotions alone will total $5 million, which is enough to make any grinder’s summer more interesting.

The series is set to culminate in a $25,000,000 guaranteed WSOP Online Main Event on September 21, which will crown one ultimate online poker champion for the year and pay out a massive first-place prize on par with the prizes won in the 2026 WSOP series in Las Vegas.

Buy-ins range from a few hundred dollars up to $5,000, so the field will be packed with both hopeful newcomers and seasoned regulars.

PokerStars on FanDuel is set to host its second ever tournament series this September.

This follows the inaugural Ignite Series, which struggled to hit its guarantees but won points with players for value.

The confirmation came via the US Poker Discord server, where a company rep mentioned a “September Series Schedule” was being prepared. That’s about all we know, with the name, events, and prize pool still under wraps. At least a leaderboard is confirmed.
