2026 WSOP Satellites FAQs

Can you satellite into the 2026 WSOP?

Yes, the WSOP offers satellites to many events during the 2026 WSOP, including several of the more popular events. You can win your buy-in to certain events for a discount.

Are there online satellites for the 2026 WSOP?

Yes, GGPoker is running the WSOP Express, which has a variety of routes to not just the WSOP, but the WSOP Europe, WSOP Paradise and WSOP Circuit events.

Is it worth satelliting to the 2026 WSOP?

Satellite buy-in strategy is always a tricky concept. You never want to spend more on satellites than the actual buy-in of the event itself, but playing just one bullet in a satellite will limit your chances of winning a seat. Still, with some huge buy-ins at the 2026 WSOP, satellites give you the chance to play for literal millions without having to fork up a large buy-in amount to enter the event.

Is it easy to satellite into the 2026 WSOP?

Satelliting into the 2026 WSOP is a simple process in the sense that all you have to do is enter a satellite, finish in the top X amount of players and gain entry to the event. However, the hard part is the poker - beating a field of other budding WSOP entrants to secure yourself a ticket. Satellite fields will typically be softer than the field of the event itself, but it's still no easy feat to satellite into a WSOP event.

Can you satellite into the 2026 WSOP Main Event?

Yes, several online and live satellites will run prior to the Main Event that will give you the opportunity to win entry to the world's most prestigious poker tournament at considerably less than the $10,000 buy-in amount.
