Circa Sports professional football contests will be back and bigger than ever. This season, Circa Survivor, Circa Million VIII, and Circa Grandissimo. The premier sports betting brand will continue to up the ante for its professional football contests, and CEO Derek Stevens released a video teasing the eighth year of Circa Sports hosting record-breaking professional football betting contests. The full details on this year’s contests will be announced by Circa Resort in the coming weeks.

Five winners of Circa Survivor, who all went 20-0 during the 2025-2026 season, took home the largest prize pot in history of $18,718,000, with each winning entry receiving $3,743,600. Circa Million VII contestant Coynehop took home the Circa Million VII full season, first-place prize of $1 million and a coveted, handmade Circa Sports blue jacket.
