WSOP Circuit to Run Alongside 2026 World Series of Poker July 14–25 in Las Vegas
Table Of Contents
For the first time, a full World Series of Poker Circuit stop will run in Las Vegas alongside the summer edition of the World Series of Poker, extending the action at Horseshoe Las Vegas beyond the traditional bracelet schedule.
The Circuit series is set for July 14 through July 25, 2026, overlapping with the final days of the 100-event WSOP bracelet festival, which runs May 26 through July 15 at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas.
While the summer bracelet schedule already includes Event #16, the $1,700 No-Limit Hold’em U.S. WSOP Circuit Championship, the newly added July 14–25 series will consist of traditional Circuit ring events.
WSOP Circuit Meets the Summer Series
The WSOP Circuit has long been a staple of the poker calendar, hosting stops across the United States and internationally with tournaments awarding gold rings instead of bracelets. Each stop typically features a mix of mid-stakes and high-roller events anchored by a Main Event.
Las Vegas is no stranger to Circuit action throughout the year, but positioning a full Circuit stop directly at the conclusion of the World Series marks a notable scheduling shift. The move creates nearly two straight months of WSOP-branded tournament poker in the city, giving players who travel in for the summer even more reasons to stay.
Key Events and Dates on the July Schedule
The Circuit stop opens July 14 with a $400 No-Limit Hold’em Mini Main Event featuring multiple starting flights. The series continues with a steady mix of No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha and mixed-game tournaments, including TORSE.
A $1,125 No-Limit Hold’em event takes center stage July 19, followed by a $2,200 High Roller on July 20. The $1,700 WSOP Circuit Main Event begins July 21 with multiple Day 1 flights on July 21 and 22 before playing down to a champion later in the week.
The latter half of the series includes a $3,300 High Roller on July 23 and a $5,000 High Roller on July 24, with the final ring events wrapping up July 25.

A Longer Summer in Las Vegas
With 100 bracelet events concluding July 15 and a full Circuit schedule immediately following, the 2026 WSOP will offer one of the longest continuous stretches of tournament poker in Las Vegas history.
For players chasing bracelets or rings, the summer grind just got longer.
