With the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise slowly drawing to a close in the Bahamas, the WSOP came out with two major announcements to end the year on a high note and leave players in anticipation of what’s to come in 2026.
The full schedule for the 2026 WSOPE was released, with the popular European series moved from its usual time slot in the fall to spring 2026, and the venue changed from Rozvadov to Prague, a more balanced and welcoming home to the festival.
Along with that, the World Series of Poker announced that, for the first time in its history, the Player of the Year (POY) race would award serious cash prizes, with a million-dollar prize pool reserved for next year’s top finishers.
