WSOP 2026 schedule — An inside analysis by Poker Industry PRO.

The 2026 WSOP schedule has been out for nearly 24 hours now, and as expected, the poker world has plenty to say.

Timelines are filled with hot takes. Some love it. Some hate it. Some are still trying to figure out how they’re going to survive seven weeks in Vegas.

Meanwhile, our brother Poker Industry PRO has done what they do every year — a full, detailed breakdown of the entire schedule. (PRO is available exclusively to subscribers.)

But we’re going to share a few interesting numbers with everyone.

Out of 100 bracelet events at the 2026 World Series of Poker:

• 25 are freezeouts
• 75 allow re-entries

Breaking that down further:

• 36 events allow a single re-entry
• 21 events allow up to two re-entries
• 2 events offer unlimited re-entries

There are also 16 flighted tournaments on the schedule. Some allow one re-entry per flight, others allow two, and a few limit re-entry to players eliminated from a specific starting flight.

What you need to know about WSOP verification process.

h/t to Sherry… you only need to verify at the WSOP if you haven’t done so previously or if your banking/ personal details have changed.

Remember the WSOP+ App will help with all poker based admin when you are in Vegas.

Naps or not let’s all brace ourselves for one of those PH entrances.

Ticket to the WSOP Ladies Championship already up for grabs.

Finally we can all get planning for the summer.

ICYMI last night, here is our take on the revamped WSOP 2026 schedule.

There’s expanded flights, a new summer circuit series and brand new events.

Also, there will now be free WSOP streams on YouTube — which let me tell you is a big.deal.

Here is some top player reaction to WSOP 2026 schedule.

Here’s what Daniel Negreanu’s WSOP will look like.

With the 2026 WSOP schedule dropping earlier today, Daniel Negreanu is staying true to form, announcing his plans for the summer. Kid Poker has his eyes set on 40 events in total, looking to increase his bracelet count.

In addition to the usual suspects, such as the Main, a variety of mixed game tournaments, and a few big buy-ins, Negreanu will be jumping into Day 1C of $300 Gladiators of Poker event on July 10, in case you want a shot at rubbing elbows with the legend!

Uh oh… did WSOP make a scheduling blunder?

Ladies’ Event is on Day 2 of the Tag Team Event, a tournament many female players compete in as well.

Alex O’Brien, book author and poker pro, seems to think so.

Well… he got a point 😉.

Where are the WSOP online bracelets?

Ok, the full schedule for the 57th World Series of Poker is out—100 live bracelets.

But where are the online bracelets?

Looks like WSOP is holding off announcing them this year, probably because their software deal with 888poker runs until early 2026. They’re likely waiting to see how that plays out before making it official.

Last year, they announced online bracelets in March, and in 2024, even later—but that was for different reasons, mainly the shared liquidity stuff.

The WSOP Main Event change is certainly the most interesting, and likely controversial, detail in this press release.

Here’s what the official press release says:

As always, the centerpiece of the summer is the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship, better known as the ‘Main Event’, which begins on Thursday, July 2. Play will proceed until the final table is reached on July 13, with specifics on the Main Event final table play dates and broadcast coverage to be announced at a later date.

Does this mean the return of the ill-fated November 9? We’ll have to wait and see. Here’s PokerNews’ take, speculating that the delay might be to avoid overlap with the World Cup:

Similarly, another global event, the FIFA World Cup hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, will also take significant billing this summer, with the opening semi-final match scheduled for July 14, a day after the final table is set.
Whether a juggernaut event such as a World Cup factored into the decision to delay the Main Event final table is speculation, but there is no doubt that even a pause of a few weeks, rather than months, will have a meaningful impact on the series and the way fans experience poker’s biggest tournament.
It would allow fans and media alike to get to know the contenders better, as well as for the finalists to potentially benefit from final table patch or sponsorship deals that the quickfire nature of recent years hasn’t allowed for.

Nods thoughtfully.

The WSOP events that got left behind.

These are the events that didn’t make it this year.

• $1,000 Battle of the Ages
• $777 Lucky 7’s
• $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame
• $1,500 Shootout
• $3,000 Limit Hold’em
• $1,500 PLO

Which one hits you the most?

This looks like a bang-on summary from Terrance on changes to the events.

Initial reactions to the WSOP 2026 schedule and yes, it’s worth a bookmark.

Early reactions to the 2026 World Series of Poker schedule are starting to roll in.

Jeff Platt is asking for everyone’s thoughts on the WSOP 2026 Vegas schedule — what stands out, what feels different, and what could shape the summer.

Drop your take below.

And go ahead, give his thread a bookmark.

This year’s WSOP might look very different on your screen.

Big changes are coming to this year’s WSOP Main Event broadcast.

Recently appointed Jeff Platt (now officially part of the World Series of Poker as their employee) sounds genuinely pumped about what’s ahead.

Details are still mostly under wraps, but today’s press release mentioned a brand-new, upgraded TV set at Paris Las Vegas, plus daily WSOP live streams that will be free to watch.

No surprise Platt is this excited:

“GUYS THE STAGE IS GOING TO BE AWESOME”

Looks like this year’s WSOP production is getting a serious glow-up.

The 2026 WSOP schedule is here!

It’s almost time: WSOP 2026 full schedule reveal

WSOP 2026 schedule drops Monday, February 16.

GGPoker teases February 13 – What’s the big reveal?

GGPoker just dropped a cryptic post on X: “Be Ready Feb 13,” and it’s a Friday the 13th! 🤯

Could it be a spooky surprise, or are we in for something big like the WSOP 2026 schedule reveal? Maybe a new tournament series, promo, new partnership, or something totally unexpected? Whatever it is, we’re ready for it!

Has Phil Hellmuth seen the WSOP 2026 schedule already?

WSOP 2026 full schedule release hits a delay.

Uh oh… seems like there’s a delay in the WSOP 2026 full schedule release. We were hoping for it this week, but Kevin Mathers, the go-to source for all things WSOP, doesn’t think it will be released this week. Our own sources confirm there’s a delay.

Fingers crossed for a release next week!

Is WSOP About to Tweak the 2026 Main Event?

Something feels a little… weird with the 2026 WSOP. We still don’t have dates for the Main Event, which is unusual at this point in the calendar. On top of that, online satellites haven’t started yet either and by now, they usually would have. Put the two together and it raises an eyebrow.

So what’s going on?

Are we looking at more Day 1 flights, an earlier kickoff, or some kind of structural tweak to the Main Event? It wouldn’t be the first time WSOP tried to quietly adjust the format.

And then there’s Phil Hellmuth.

Last year, Phil made a very public “boycott” threat, saying he wouldn’t play the Main Event unless WSOP addressed what he called an unfair structure for older players, specifically the long days, late finishes, and physical grind. He wanted shorter days or better pacing.

Of course, Phil did end up playing anyway and WSOP didn’t make any change. But the point landed.

So now, with delayed announcements and no satellites in sight, you can’t help but wonder:
👉 Is WSOP cooking up a change?
👉 Is this just admin drag… or something more deliberate?

Either way, it’s unusually quiet and WSOP quiet rarely stays that way for long. We should find out soon enough.

WSOP is likely to reveal the full 2026 schedule next week, potentially as early as February 9 or February 10.

All Eyes on the WSOP 2026 Summer Schedule.

February is here, which means it’s almost that time — WSOP officials are getting ready to reveal the full schedule for the Las Vegas summer series.

Players have been patiently waiting, and all signs point to the schedule being just days away from dropping. The big question: will we see 100+ bracelet events again, or does the number come down this year?

We’ll find out soon. Stay tuned.
