The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has officially announced the schedule for the 2026 WSOP Paradise, a highly anticipated series that brings the excitement of the WSOP to a tropical destination. The announcement was made via a press release, and the full schedule is now available for players and fans.

Event Dates and Venue

The 2026 WSOP Paradise is scheduled to take place from November 24 to December 12, 2026, at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. This marks the third consecutive year that the series has been held at this iconic venue, which has become a favorite among players for its luxurious amenities and vibrant atmosphere.

Key Highlights of the Schedule

The schedule features a total of 25 gold bracelet events, a slight increase from the previous year. Among the highlights are:

• $5,000 Main Event: The centerpiece of the series, with a guaranteed prize pool of $15 million, one of the largest in WSOP Paradise history.
• $100,000 High Roller: A high-stakes tournament expected to attract the world's top players.
• $1,500 Mystery Bounty: A fan-favorite format that adds an element of surprise and excitement.
• $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship: A dedicated event for PLO enthusiasts.
• $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed: A fast-paced tournament for those who prefer shorter-handed play.

In addition to these, the schedule includes a variety of events with buy-ins ranging from $500 to $100,000, catering to a wide range of bankrolls and skill levels.

New Features and Changes

One notable change for 2026 is the introduction of a new tournament format: the "Mystery Bounty" events, which have been expanded to include more buy-in levels. These events have proven popular in recent years, as players have the chance to draw a bounty prize that can be significantly larger than the standard bounty amount.

Another addition is the "Seniors Event" (for players aged 50 and over), which will have a $1,000 buy-in and a guaranteed prize pool of $500,000. This event is designed to attract a growing demographic of poker players.

Registration and Accommodation

Players can register for events through the official WSOP website or at the Atlantis Resort's poker room. The WSOP has also negotiated special room rates for players, starting at $199 per night, which include access to the resort's amenities.

How to Qualify

For those who cannot attend in person, the WSOP offers online satellite tournaments on its partner platforms, allowing players to win seats to various events. Details on these satellites are available on the WSOP website.

Conclusion

The 2026 WSOP Paradise promises to be another exciting chapter in the WSOP's expansion beyond Las Vegas. With a robust schedule, a stunning venue, and a range of events for every type of player, it is set to attract a global audience.
