The World Series of Poker has revealed the full schedule for the 2026 WSOP Paradise festival, with the fourth edition taking place at the Baha Mar Hotel & Resort in the Bahamas from December 2 through December 18.
The festival features 20 gold bracelet events and $120 million in guaranteed prize pools, making it the final major WSOP bracelet series of the year. It will also bring the 2026 WSOP Player of the Year race to its conclusion.
The headline tournament remains the $25,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, which returns with a $50 million guarantee. The GGMillion$ No Limit Hold’em Championship also gets a larger guarantee this year, doubling from $10 million to $20 million while retaining its $10,000 buy-in.
Beyond the biggest tournaments, the schedule mixes established Paradise events with several new additions, including mixed games and new mixed PLO/NLH and bomb pot formats. Buy-ins start at $2,500, while the schedule reaches as high as $250,000 for the WSOP Invitational.
Unlike the previous two editions, the 2026 festival does not include the Triton partnership that featured several events on the schedule in 2024 and 2025.
“WSOP Paradise is the ultimate way to close out the poker calendar – combining world-class high-stakes competition with a luxury vacation experience at Baha Mar,” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “With $120 million guaranteed across 20 bracelet events, the $50 million Super Main Event, and the WSOP Player of the Year race coming down to the wire, the stakes have never been higher. I can’t wait to head to the Bahamas and play for a bracelet in paradise.”
The 2026 edition also introduces cryptocurrency into the live festival, with players set to have the option to buy into WSOP tournaments using Solana. Cryptocurrency cashouts are also expected to be available.
The move follows WSOP’s partnership with the Solana Foundation, which was announced earlier this summer and sees Solana serve as the headline sponsor of WSOP Paradise.

The online qualification route gives players a way to work their way into WSOP Paradise without having to buy directly into the live events. WSOP Online may also run additional satellites closer to the festival.
Fans who cannot make the trip to the Bahamas will still be able to follow the festival online. WSOP Paradise action will be streamed daily from December 5, with coverage beginning at 3 PM ET on the official WSOP YouTube channel.
The stream will give viewers a chance to follow the festival’s biggest events as the 2026 WSOP calendar reaches its final major stop.
With $120 million guaranteed and the Player of the Year race set to be decided in the Bahamas, WSOP Paradise provides the final major piece of the 2026 WSOP schedule.
