The World Series of Poker has announced the full schedule for the first half of its 2026 Circuit season, revealing a total of 24 stops playing out between January and the end of May next year. With 18 stops taking place in the US and six more at various venues around the world, players will have plenty of opportunity to claim coveted WSOP Circuit rings.
The announcement marks an important shift in the company’s approach to the Circuit, looking to establish a permanent yearly schedule running from January through December, giving players more time and opportunity to plan ahead.
This shift was echoed in the words of Ty Stewart, WSOP Chief Executive Officer, who stated that 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.

Better Experience & Bigger Prizes
Moving into the new season, the World Series of Poker is looking to build upon the previous success and continue to enhance the experience for the players.
In addition to the comprehensive schedule available ahead of time, there are other perks that participants can look forward to. One of the biggest is that all gold ring winners in the 2026 season will receive a $5,000 WSOP package that they can utilize to cover tournament entries and accommodations for WSOP Europe or WSOP Paradise.
All circuit stops will also continue to utilize the WSOP plus app. The app has proven immensely popular with the players, improving their experience in every sense, so it will continue to be a standard feature across all domestic and international stops.
One thing that remains unchanged is the buy-in for a majority of Main Events. These will still be priced at $1,700 for domestic stops, while international festivals will feature a similar entry point in domestic currencies.
For the international portion of the 2026 WSOP Circuit, there will be online satellites hosted at GGPoker. These will become available as certain stops get closer, so you should keep an eye out for GGPoker’s lobby if there is a particular festival that you’re interested in attending. So far, we have confirmed stops in Europe, Canada, and Africa (Morocco).
There is a possibility that additional stops will be added to the January — May portion of the schedule at a later date. The second half of the 2026 WSOP Circuit (June onwards) will be announced in the summer, ahead of the 2026 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
