Changes to television and livestream coverage have been made for the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP). Major changes.
But fear not, the biggest event of the year in poker will be easily accessible to fans around the world, for free (well, most of it).
ESPN returns to cover the Main Event this year, but the rest of the 2026 WSOP will be available for livestreaming on the WSOP's official social media channels.

In the 973rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway is at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) where he sits down with high-stakes poker superstar Alan Keating.
Arguably one of the most popular poker players in this day and age, Keating talks about why he conceded the first round of the $25K Heads-Up Championship, whether or not he'll be playing some tournaments, and how he feels about High Stakes Live coming to the WSOP. That includes the upcoming Million Dollar Cash Game, which Keating admits he's happy to be a part of, and even hints that Phil Hellmuth might play. But then again, maybe not.
Keating then shares which reality TV show he applied for, hosting epic Ultimate Werewolf parties, and his thoughts on the Poker Hall of Fame now that he's turned 40 and is officially eligible.
Welcome back to PokerNews for continued coverage of the 2026 World Series of Poker at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The summer action continues today with Event #40: $1,500 Razz, the perfect event for fans of lowball Stud poker.
Action kicks off today at 2 p.m. local time with players starting with 25,000 chips and betting limits starting at 300/600 with a 100 ante and a 300 completion. Day 1 will consist of 15 levels, with 15-minute breaks every 3 levels.
Levels will be 40 minutes on Day 1 and 60 minutes on Days 2 and 3. Late registration will remain open for nine levels until about 8:45 p.m.
The three-day event will reach a winner at a to-be-determined time on Sunday, June 14.
Last year's event saw Allan Le win his second bracelet and $126,363 as he topped a field of 472 runners in an event that had a prize pool of $626,580. The father of three, who denied eventual 2025 WSOP Player of the Year winnerShaun Deeb the event title, did it on Father's Day.
“I would probably let them win,” the new champion told PokerNews when asked whether he would let his children win if he played poker against them. “I give my kids everything. Not this bracelet, though; this bracelet is going to my wife.”
Other past winners include 2024 Player of the Year Scott Seiver and four-time bracelet winner David "ODB" Baker.
