World Series of Poker Shares 2026 Schedule, 100 Winner Bracelets Up for Grabs
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has released its schedule for 2026 and we can’t think of anything snarky to say about it other than it’s a bunch of dudes vying for bracelets, which is adorable.
The World Series of Poker runs from May 26 to July 15, 2026, at Horseshoe and Paris on the Las Vegas Strip.
Here’s the full schedule for the 57th installment of the World Series of Poker.
Yes, that’s the whole story, but far be it from us to let sleeping dogs lie.
There are items of interest to be cut and pasted!
For example, “The excitement begins on May 26 with a revamped lineup designed to maintain the momentum of 2025’s record-breaking season, which saw GGPoker ambassador Michael ‘The Grinder’ Mizrachi capture the Main Event title and a $10,000,000 top prize.”
That’s right. People can win $10 million from playing poker. Yes, it costs $10,000 to enter, but that’s beside the point. Or possibly “besides.” We are not in a “proofreading” or “knowing English” or “looking things up” mood right now. We are in a mood to share fun facts about the WSOP!
The most interesting fact we can think of is the WSOP was owned by Caesars Entertainment, but they sold it.
They sold the brand to NSUS Group for $500 million, with $250 million cash up front and another $250 million due in 2029, the same year we’ll all have flying cars and robot girlfriends.
If NSUS Group doesn’t sound familiar, that’s because nobody has ever heard of it except for people who get Christmas cards from them every year.
Caesars Entertainment retained the rights to host the WSOP live tournament for the next 20 years.
But back to some highlights!
The WSOP is made up of dozens of tournaments (as mentioned, there will be 100 bracelets given out to winners this year) with impressive-sounding names like Monster Stack No-Limit Holdem, Colossus No-Limit Holdem, Millionaire Maker No-Limit Holdem and Mystery Millions.
There is a Super High Roller No-Limit Holdem event with a $250,000 buy-in (cost to enter). Hey, you’re either serious about poker or you aren’t.
The aforementioned “Main Event,” is the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship. This year’s Main Event starts July 2, 2026. That tournament is a real nail-biter that lasts longer than the gestation period of your typical Nubian giraffe.
You can get further information about this year’s WSOP on the official Web site.
While the number of poker rooms has dwindled at Las Vegas casinos in recent years (poker rooms don’t generate a lot of revenue), there’s still a good deal of interest in the WSOP.
The Main Event in 2025 had the event’s third-highest level of participation (9,735 entries) in WSOP history.
Women remain underrepresented in this male-dominated realm. Women account for fewer than 5% of those taking part in the WSOP, mainly because they don’t want to spend all that time around poker players.
We kid because we love!
We plan on entering the Main Event of the 2026 WSOP, assuming we hit quad aces with a kicker on Double Double Bonus video poker at $25 a hand, the odds of which are about as good as Carrot Top dyeing his hair blue.
You still have time to brush up on your poker skills and enter the WSOP! It’s a game of skill, but luck still plays a big part. There’s a reason so few Main Event champs ever repeat the feat.
You can’t win a bracelet if you don’t buy in.
