The live portion of the 2026 World Series of Poker is underway in Las Vegas. Players are streaming into the city, and those halls in Paris and Horseshoe will be getting more crowded as we head deeper into the summer.
However, in addition to the 100 bracelets up for grabs in live events, there are 30 more you’ll be able to compete for by playing online. For those, you don’t even have to be in Las Vegas, as all players in the states where WSOP Online operates can get in the mix — and that’s Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada.
The 2026 WSOP online bracelets action will start this weekend, with the first three tournaments taking place on Saturday and Sunday. From there, there will be one online bracelet event taking place every Tuesday and several more on offer over the weekends.
This year’s online series will wrap up on Tuesday, July 14, with the $400 NL Hold’em Summer Saver event.
- Up to $100 in free play with first deposit
- Top-quality software
- Compete for WSOP bracelets & rings
2026 WSOP Online Gets Off to a Fun Start
The 2026 WSOP Online bracelet series kicks off with Event #1 – $400 NL Hold’em Kick Off. The tournament begins on Saturday at 3:30 PM PST. This tournament could potentially have a smaller field as players are still getting their bearings for the summer, so it’s a good one to get involved in for a decent shot at a bracelet.
On Sunday, there are two interesting events on offer, namely:
- Event #2 – $555 NL Hold’em Mystery Bounty $1M GTD (3:30 PM PST start)
- Event #3 – $888 NL Hold’em Crazy 8’s (4:30 PM PST start)
Of these three, Event #2 is certainly the most exciting one. The tournament comes with a huge $1,000,000 guarantee and some pretty sweet mystery bounties hidden inside those digital envelopes once the players reach the ITM stage.
If the mayhem that usually comes with mystery bounties isn’t your thing, the other two tournaments feature traditional No Limit Hold’em structure, where you can focus on accumulating chips and making your way to the final table instead of hoping you get a lucky draw after eliminating a player.
But if it’s WSOP bracelets you’re after, your best bet is to play in as many events as you can. This year, just like in 2025, there will be 30 opportunities in total, and three of them will be gone after the weekend, so if you’re logged in to play, why not add an extra table?
Still Time to Satellite Your Way In
Although online bracelet events come with buy-ins that are considerably lower compared to their live counterparts, the price of admission is still too high for many players’ bankrolls.
An advantage of playing online, though, is that you always have access to a bunch of cheap satellites, and you can fire them up at will to try and secure your seat at a serious discount.
You’ll find the list of all upcoming and currently running qualifiers in the WSOP Online tournament lobby, so you can pick the ones that you’re comfortable with, and there is still plenty of time to give it a try for this upcoming weekend.
Remember, in addition to the prize money, all event winners will also receive actual World Series of Poker bracelets, and that’s one trophy that pretty much every player would like to have in their cabinet.
It all starts this weekend, whether you’re there for it or not!
