WSOP publishes WSOP Paradise 2026 schedule with $120m in guarantees

Bahamas series runs Dec. 2–17 at Baha Mar, led by a $25K Super Main Event with a $50m guarantee.

World Series of Poker (WSOP) has released the full tournament schedule for WSOP Paradise 2026, confirming 20 gold bracelet events at Baha Mar Hotel & Resort in the Bahamas from December 2 through December 17. WSOP said the series will feature $120 million in total guaranteed prize pools.

The schedule is headlined by Event #12, the $25,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event, which carries a $50,000,000 guarantee. Other top-billed events include Event #4, the $10,000 GGMillion$ No Limit Hold'em Championship with a $20,000,000 guarantee, and Event #1, the $2,500 Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty with a $5,000,000 guarantee.

WSOP also positioned the festival as the season closer for its annual WSOP Player of the Year race, stating the 2026 title will be decided during WSOP Paradise. “WSOP Paradise is the ultimate way to close out the poker calendar - combining world-class high-stakes competition with a luxury vacation experience at Baha Mar,” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “With $120 million guaranteed across 20 bracelet events, the $50 million Super Main Event, and the WSOP Player of the Year race coming down to the wire, the stakes have never been higher. I can’t wait to head to the Bahamas and play for a bracelet in paradise.”

Alongside the schedule, WSOP introduced two limited-time early-bird accommodation packages tied to tournament play: a $100K Paradise Package and a $300K VIP Package. Deposits are due by October 31 ($5,000 and $10,000 respectively), and WSOP said deposits are released once tournament play requirements are met, including playing both GGMillion$ Day 1A and Super Main Event Day 1A.

For broadcast distribution, WSOP said WSOP Paradise will be streamed daily from December 5 at 3PM ET on the official WSOP YouTube channel, with additional event structure information to be published via the WSOP Live app. WSOP noted it reserves the right to change events, and that entry fees will be added to all events, with up to 5% of buy-ins withheld for staff and operational costs; guaranteed payouts are calculated after the cost deduction.
