The World Series of Poker may have just crowned its new Main Event champion in Las Vegas, but the chase for WSOP bracelets is already about to resume online.
The 2026 WSOP Online International series begins on GGPoker on August 16, with 33 gold bracelets on the schedule and more than $69 million in guaranteed prize pools. The festival runs until September 29, with buy-ins ranging from $100 into five figures.
At the center of the schedule is another huge online Main Event. The $5,000 tournament carries a $25 million guarantee, making it comfortably the biggest guaranteed event of the series.
$25 Million Main Event Leads WSOP Online Schedule
The $5,000 WSOP Online Main Event reaches Day 2 on September 21, before the final table is played the following day.
It has a tough act to follow.
Last year’s Main Event attracted 5,961 entries and generated a $28,314,750 prize pool, comfortably beating its guarantee. Benjamin “bencb” Rolle eventually came out on top, collecting his first WSOP bracelet and a career-best $3,900,707.
Rolle’s victory is particularly notable from a Poker Type perspective following his subsequent move to CoinPoker, where he is now an ambassador.
The 2026 Main Event final table will be streamed on September 22 at 18:45 UTC, with Jeff Gross and record WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth set to provide commentary.
Biggest Events at the 2026 WSOP Online
The Main Event isn’t the only tournament carrying a substantial guarantee.
Among the major events announced for the series are:
- $5,000 Main Event: $25 million guaranteed
- $250 Mystery Millions: $10 million guaranteed and $1 million top bounty
- $10,000 GGMillion$ High Rollers: $10 million guaranteed
- $500 Mini Main Event: $5 million guaranteed
- $1,500 Millionaire Maker: $5 million guaranteed and at least $1 million to the winner
- $400 Colossus: $5 million guaranteed
- $300 Gladiators of Poker: $3 million guaranteed
- $400 PLOssus: $2 million guaranteed
Players won’t have to wait long for the first bracelet. Event #1, the $700 7th Annual WSOP Kick-Off, concludes on the opening day of the festival on August 16.
The schedule also includes plenty beyond No-Limit Hold’em, with Pot-Limit Omaha, Five Card PLO, bounty tournaments and short-handed championships all represented.
Another $5 Million Added Through WSOP Online Promotions
GGPoker is also putting $5 million into three promotions alongside the bracelet schedule.
Every player who wins a WSOP Online bracelet will receive a $30,000 Super Pass for the WSOP Paradise Super Main Event in the Bahamas this December. A total of $1 million has been allocated to those passes.
Another $1 million will go towards country-exclusive freerolls for the top 10 nations on the final Bracelet Leaderboard.
The remaining $3 million is attached to Continental Flipouts. Players are divided between the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and Eurasia, with regional flipouts taking place following bracelet events and prize pools reaching as high as $250,000.
Negreanu: “The Ultimate Series for Poker Players”
GGPoker ambassador Daniel Negreanu believes the combination of bracelets, guarantees and additional prizes makes this year’s festival particularly significant.
“WSOP Online continues to raise the benchmark for online tournament series,” Negreanu said.
“This is the ultimate series for poker players everywhere. I can’t wait to see who carves their name into poker history this summer.”
The online series arrives immediately after a memorable conclusion to the live WSOP in Las Vegas, where 22-year-old Lucas Jumalon won the 2026 Main Event for $10 million.
For players who missed out on a bracelet this summer, the wait for another opportunity will therefore be a short one. The first 2026 WSOP Online bracelet will be decided just 11 days after Jumalon became poker’s newest world champion.
