WSOP Online September Circuit Schedule Set With $1.5M in Guarantees

The full schedule for the September edition of the WSOP Online Circuit is now live on the operator’s real-money platform.

The series will run for 12 days from September 12 through September 23, giving players in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada the opportunity to compete for a WSOP Circuit ring each day. The September festival carries $1.5 million in total guarantees, representing a slight increase from last month’s edition.

Although the schedule and promotional material have yet to appear on the WSOP Online website, the winners of all 12 ring events are expected to receive a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package. The package can be used toward entry into the $2,750 Mystery Bounty Circuit Championship at WSOP Paradise 2026, which is scheduled to take place in December at the Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas.

WSOP Circuit Online September 2026: Highlights

• Runs September 12 to 13
• 12 WSOPC Ring events
• $1.5 million in guaranteed prizes
• $150k Mystery Bounty on September 13
• $250k Main Event on September 20
• Champions win a $5k WSOP Paradise package

WSOP clarified last month that every Circuit ring winner, including those who win their rings online, is eligible for the Paradise package.

As in previous editions, the September schedule covers a wide range of buy-ins, from $100 up to $1,000. Most of the tournaments come with six-figure guarantees, making the series particularly appealing relative to the cost of entry. Guarantees start at $75,000, while the biggest prize pool target reaches $250,000 for the Main Event.

The action begins on Saturday, September 12, with the $125,000 guaranteed NLH Big $500. The following day brings a $150,000 guaranteed NLH Mystery Bounty, with a $100 buy-in. Players then move into the working week with a $320 NLH 6-Max tournament carrying a $100,000 guarantee on Monday.

Tuesday provides the first opportunity for higher-stakes players to get involved, with the $1,000 NLH High Roller offering $150,000 in guaranteed prize money.

There is only one Pot-Limit Omaha tournament on the September schedule. The $500 PLO event takes place on Wednesday, September 16, and comes with a $75,000 guarantee. The following day sees another Mystery Bounty tournament, this time in NLH format with a $320 buy-in and $125,000 guaranteed.

Friday, September 18, brings a faster-paced option in the form of a $215 NLH Turbo PKO, which has a $75,000 guarantee.

The second weekend begins with one of the more distinctive events on the schedule, the $888 NLH Crazy 8’s, which guarantees $125,000. That is followed on Sunday, September 20, by the headline tournament of the series: the $525 NLH Main Event, which carries a $250,000 guarantee.

Three more ring events remain after the Main Event as the series heads into its final stretch. Monday features a $215 NLH tournament with a $100,000 guarantee, followed by a $777 NLH Lucky 7’s Mystery tournament on Tuesday with a $125,000 guarantee. The series concludes on Wednesday, September 23, with a $215 NLH Deepstack offering another $100,000 guarantee.

The events are scheduled to begin at either 14:00 or 16:00 PT, depending on the tournament.

Leaderboard Competition

Beyond the cash prize and the prestige of winning a gold ring, each event also gives players the chance to earn points toward the WSOP Online Circuit leaderboard. The leaderboard promotion has been running for over a year now and has once again returned as part of the 2026-2027 schedule.

Monthly Prizes

To qualify for the WSOPC Online Monthly Leaderboards, players must compete in the WSOPC Online festival events held during the respective month. Points are awarded to players who finish in the money in Gold Ring events, with the number of points determined by the size of the field, the buy-in, and the player’s finishing position. The scoring formula is:

Points = √(N × B / P)

Where:

• N is the number of entrants
• B is the buy-in amount
• P is the player’s finishing position

Players accumulate points throughout the month, with stronger finishes and larger fields generally providing more points. The top eight players at the end of each month will divide more than $7,500 in prizes, awarded in the form of tournament tickets.

That gives regular participants another reason to play across the entire festival rather than focusing solely on individual ring events. A deep run in one tournament can contribute to the monthly race, while multiple cashes can help build a larger points total and improve a player’s position on the standings.

Yearly Prizes

Alongside the monthly competition, WSOP Online is also running its Yearly Leaderboard, which provides a longer-term race covering the full WSOPC Online season.

The yearly standings include results from all WSOPC Online events, rewarding players who can maintain a strong level of performance across multiple festivals rather than relying on a single tournament score. The top four finishers will compete for a combined $55,000 in prizes, with the rewards consisting entirely of WSOP tournament seats and buy-ins for the 2027 series.

The prizes for the top four places are:

• First Place: A $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat, plus $25,000 in buy-ins for any WSOP online or live events
• Second Place: A $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat
• Third Place: $7,000 in buy-ins for any WSOP bracelet event
• Fourth Place: $3,000 in buy-ins for any WSOP bracelet event

The two $10,000 Main Event seats will go to the top two players in the final standings. The remaining awards are provided as buy-ins, allowing the recipients to decide how they want to use them across eligible WSOP events.

That flexibility means the prizes do not have to be tied to a single tournament or format. Players can use their allocations across a combination of online and live WSOP events, potentially creating their own tournament schedule for the 2027 series.
