WSOP 2026 preview: the events worth travelling for
Two months, 100 bracelets. Here are the stops with the best value — and how to get in.
The 57th World Series of Poker runs May 26 through July 25, 2026 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, with 100 official bracelet events on the schedule. For most travelling players the question is not whether to go but which events to target — the value is wildly uneven across the schedule.
The $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event begins on July 2 and remains the dream. Cheaper big-field events such as the Millionaire Maker and Colossus historically draw the largest, softest fields. WSOP.com and partner rooms run satellites and packages every year; check the official schedule and operator promos for current buy-ins.
