The 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule has 100 gold bracelet events planned, most of which were around last year. But there are some changes to this year’s summer poker extravaganza that will be of interest to recreational and professional players alike.
Not only are there some new tournaments on the 2026 WSOP schedule, there will also be a high-stakes cash game livestream for the first time at the Series. Hustler Casino Live has moved its Million Dollar Game from May at Hustler Casino in Los Angeles to June 12 at the WSOP in Las Vegas.
The $1 million buy-in cash game isn’t the only HCL stream planned for what’s being dubbed “WSOP High Stakes Live.” Ryan Feldman, co-owner of Hustler Casino Live, has scheduled five additional high-stakes livestreams to be held at the WSOP feature table on June 5, 6, 13, 19, and 20.
New Bracelet Events at the 2026 WSOP
The 2026 World Series of Poker kicks off on May 26 with the $550 Mini Mystery Millions, a new tournament that is half the buy-in of last year’s Mystery Millions, which attracted 19,654 entrants. This no-limit hold’em competition will bring in a massive turnout right off the bat at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. It could even set a record for largest attendance in a live poker tournament.
Next up on the fresh events at the WSOP happens on May 31 with Event #11: $10,000 GGMillion$ No-Limit Hold’em High Roller, a spinoff of a popular online poker tournament at GGPoker, the poker site whose parent company purchased the WSOP from Caesars Entertainment in 2024.
Event #16: $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em U.S. Circuit Championship on June 2 is another new event at the 2026 WSOP. World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) grinders will travel to Las Vegas to play for a gold bracelet instead of a gold ring.
There will also be increased pot-limit Omaha representation this summer. First off is Event #53: $1,500 Five-Card PLO on June 18, while Event #91: $1,500 Pick Your PLO on July 9 is a dealer’s choice format featuring PLO, PLO8, Five-Card PLO (High), and Big O.
That’s five new tournaments on the 2026 WSOP schedule, plus multiple high-stakes poker cash game livestreams, including the Hustler Casino Live Million Dollar Game, all taking place this summer in Las Vegas.
WSOP Circuit Comes to the World Series of Poker
But, wait, there’s more. For the first time ever, a WSOP Circuit series in Las Vegas will run during the summer WSOP. Scheduled to run between July 14-25, during the final days of the WSOP bracelet series, the WSOP Circuit Las Vegas schedule features a $400 Mini Main Event, a $2,200 No-Limit High Roller, and a $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event.
WSOP Circuit tournaments usually enjoy large crowds, but the ones in Las Vegas this summer could break attendance records with so many grinders being in Sin City for the 2026 WSOP. The series, which ends July 25, includes 18 ring events over 12 days at Horseshoe.
Buckle up, folks. As the great Gus Hansen famously said, “it’s gonna be a great summer.”
