The World Series of Poker (WSOP) has released the full schedule for the 2026 WSOP Paradise, and it looks incredible. The 2026 WSOP Paradise takes place from December 2-17 at the Baha Mar Hotel & Resort, its new home in the Bahamas.
Twenty bracelet-awarding events adorn the schedule, giving players plenty of chances to end 2026 with a coveted WSOP bracelet on their wrist. Perhaps even more impressive is that all 20 bracelet events come with guaranteed prize pools, and with $50 million added compared to last year, the total guarantee has soared to an unprecedented $120 million.
2026 WSOP Paradise Schedule
“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.”
All 20 events look set to draw poker’s elite to the Bahamas this December, but three of those tournaments stand out from the crowd.
WSOP Announces Next Chapter For WSOP Paradise With Venue Change
Event #1: Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty NLH kicks off the festival on December 2. It commands a $2,500 buy-in, the most affordable event on the 2026 WSOP Paradise schedule, yet boasts a $5 million guaranteed prize pool.
Last year, Mark Darner topped a 2,396-strong field and raked in $350,000 of the $5,990,000 prize pool
On December 10, the live edition of the GGMillion$ explodes into action. Like its online equivalent, the WSOP Paradise GGMillion$ costs $10,000 to enter. The WSOP must expect a bumper crowd to descend on Baha Mar for this event, as they guarantee that at least $10 million will be won.
Of course, the crown jewel of the 2026 WSOP Paradise schedule is the $25,000 buy-in Super Main Event. This gargantuan tournament, which comes with a $50 million guaranteed prize pool, begins on December 10.
The 2025 edition of the WSOP Paradise Super Main saw 2,891 entries and a $72,275,000 prize pool. Bernhard Binder is the reigning champion. He defeated French veteran Jean-Noel Thorel heads-up as he raked in a cool $10 million top prize.

Public blockchain platform Solana continues its partnership with the WSOP for the 2026 WSOP Paradise festival. Those attending the 2026 WSOP Paradise can enter tournaments directly using cryptocurrency on Solana, with no processing fees.
Solana processed an impressive $23 million in payments during the 2026 WSOP in Las Vegas, which accounted for approximately 6% of all 2026 WSOP buy-ins.
