For the first time, a WSOP Circuit will also begin during the final days of the bracelet series, running from July 14-25.

Players can find the full schedule and other details at WSOP.com and in the WSOP+ app, which has been updated for the 2026 season. Registration for all summer events will open soon, and players who verified their identity for WSOP 2025 will not need to re‑verify unless their personal information or payment method has changed.

Although the WSOP schedule itself remains relatively unchanged, the business structure behind the brand shifted last year. In 2024, Caesars Entertainment sold the WSOP’s intellectual‑property rights to NSUS Group, parent company of GGPoker, in a $500 million deal. Under that agreement, Caesars continues to host and operate the live WSOP in Las Vegas through 2044, retains WSOP‑branded poker rooms, and maintains preferential rights to run WSOP Circuit events.
