While the top of the all-time leaderboard is dominated by some of online poker's most accomplished grinders, every September produces new stories as players from around the world chase their first WCOOP title.

"A WCOOP victory is a piece of poker history. Every champion joins an exclusive group of players who have conquered one of the toughest online tournament series in the world," said Steve Clarricoats, PokerStars Associate Director of Online Scheduling.

"For professional players, it can represent one of the most important titles of their careers and for recreational players, it's an achievement they have dreamed of."

One of the biggest attractions of WCOOP has always been its accessibility as buy-ins for the 2026 edition range from just $5.50 all the way up to $25,000.

The festival features tournaments across a wide variety of formats, including No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, 8-Game, HORSE, Progressive Knockout, Mystery Bounty, and Triple Draw games.

The headliners of the series are, as always, the collection of official World Championship events.

Six Main Events will award more than $6.5 million in guaranteed prize money, and take place on September 27 and 28.
