V pozadí čerstvého oznámenia cítiť jasnú ambíciu: nadviazať na rekordný rok 2025. Práve vtedy sa podľa celého festivalu WSOP nazbieralo 246.960 vstupov a rozdelilo sa viac než 481.000.000$ v prize money – čísla, ktoré nastavili latku poriadne vysoko. Scenár na leto 2026 je napísaný: veľké mená, veľké polia a ešte väčší tlak na to, aby WSOP zostalo miestom, kde sa rodia legendy.
Main Event štart 2. júla, finálový stôl od 13. júla
Vrchol leta zostáva nemenný – 10.000$ No-Limit Hold’em World Championship, teda Main Event. Ten začne vo štvrtok 2. júla, a hra sa potiahne až do momentu, kým sa 13. júla nevykryštalizuje finálový stôl. Termíny a vysielanie samotného finále majú ešte prísť neskôr, no dátumy cesty k posledným deviatim sú už jasné.
Fanúšikovia boli vypočutí – streamy zadarmo na YouTube
Veľká novinka, ktorá poteší všetkých divákov - od 26. mája až do štartu Main Eventu má bežať denný livestream zadarmo na oficiálnom WSOP YouTube kanáli. Organizátori hovoria o vylepšenom TV sete v Paris Las Vegas a o známych hlasoch za mikrofónom – cieľ je zjavný: dostať atmosféru WSOP ešte bližšie k ľuďom, ktorí si leto v Nevade nevedia dovoliť absolvovať osobne.
Klasiky, ktoré robia leto letom
Niektoré turnaje sú už na WSOP takmer povinnou zastávkou a program 2026 ich opäť stavia do popredia: Monster Stack (1.500$), Colossus (500$), Millionaire Maker (1.500$) či Poker Players Championship (50.000$) – to je len výber toho najlepšieho a najzaujímavejšieho. A pre high-stakes publikum je aj v kalendári na tento rok 250.000$ Super High Roller. WSOP zároveň pridáva ďalšie flighty do viacerých najpopulárnejších náramkových eventov, aby bolo viac šancí „trafiť“ ten správny deň.
Nový štart série: Mini Mystery Millions
Séria odštartuje novým otváracím eventom #1 Mini Mystery Millions za 550$, ktorý má lákať aj na výraznú bounty odmenu s garanciou 1.000.000$. A aby bolo jasné, že WSOP chce miešať prestíž s masovosťou, do prvých dní pribúda aj #11 GGMillion$ High Roller za 10.000$ (dokonca s dvoma štartovacími flightmi) či #16 U.S. Circuit Championship za 1.700$.

WSOP+ app a POY o 1.000.000$
Organizátori tlačia aj na pohodlie hráčov. Všetky detaily sú dostupné v aplikácii WSOP+ a registrácie sa majú čoskoro otvoriť tak, aby bol príchod do kasína a naskočenie do hry čo najplynulejší.
Na záver WSOP pridáva aj motiváciu pre „grinderov“: WSOP Player of the Year má v roku 2026 rozdeliť spolu 1.000.000$ a víťaz získa balík na WSOP Paradise 2026 v hodnote 100.000$. Zaujímavý detail je, že POY pre túto sezónu sa má začať už na WSOP Europe v Prahe (31. marec – 12. apríl).
