The World Series of Poker Circuit calendar is stacked in 2026, but some stops naturally lend themselves to a certain type of player.

World Series of Poker Circuit Liechtenstein appears well suited to low- and mid-stakes grinders, thanks to a schedule built around accessible buy-ins, multiple guaranteed events, and frequent satellite opportunities.

Running from February 26 to March 10, the festival takes place at Grand Casino Liechtenstein and features 12 official WSOP Circuit ring events, headlined by a CHF 1,500 Main Event with a CHF 1,000,000 guarantee, approximately $1.3 million.

2026 WSOP Circuit Liechtenstein Schedule

Accessible Buy-Ins Across the Schedule

One of the defining features of the Liechtenstein stop is the number of ring events priced within reach of lower bankrolls.

Alongside the Main Event, the schedule includes several guaranteed tournaments at CHF 300 to CHF 500 buy-ins, offering players multiple chances to compete for WSOP hardware without committing to a single flagship event.

Key guaranteed tournaments include:

• CHF 300 Mini Main Event with a CHF 200,000 guarantee
• CHF 300 Colossus with a CHF 150,000 guarantee
• CHF 500 Mystery Bounty with a CHF 100,000 guarantee

Each of these events runs with multiple starting flights, spreading opportunities across the first half of the series.

Satellite Coverage Throughout the Festival

The schedule is supported by a steady run of satellites, particularly for the Main Event.

CHF 180 Main Event satellites appear regularly across the festival, alongside lower-buy-in feeders for other headline tournaments. For players looking to manage bankroll or take repeated shots, the satellite volume adds flexibility without requiring early commitment to higher buy-ins.

Main Event Structure and Timeline

The CHF 1,500 Main Event begins on Thursday, March 5, with Day 1A, followed by additional starting flights through Day 1E on Saturday, March 7.

The tournament then progresses through:

• Day 2 on Sunday, March 8
• Day 3 on Monday, March 9
• Final Day on Tuesday, March 10

More Than NLH on the Table

Outside of the headline NLH events, the schedule also includes a handful of variety options and special formats, including:

• 6-Max (CHF 660) on March 2
• 8-Game (CHF 500) on March 4
• PLO 8-Max (CHF 500) on March 6
• Double Board Bomb Pot PLO (CHF 500) on March 8
• Plus multiple Hyper Turbo NLH (CHF 250) sessions

There are also dedicated demographics events on the slate, including a Ladies Event (CHF 350) on March 6 and a Seniors Event (CHF 350) on March 8.

For low- and mid-stakes grinders mapping out their 2026 live schedules, WSOPC Liechtenstein is a stop that offers plenty of opportunities, a broad mix of formats, and a chance of becoming a Main Event champion all within a compact two-week window.
