The World Series of Poker Circuit will return to Paris from September 1-14, 2026, with 13 official ring events at Partouche Casino Club Paris, including a €1,500 Main Event and multiple buy-in levels for players
The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOP Circuit) is set to return to Paris this fall, confirming a two-week schedule of live poker tournaments at Partouche Casino Club Paris from September 1 through September 14, 2026. The festival, organized in partnership with Groupe Partouche and Texapoker, marks the second time the WSOP Circuit has visited the French capital since its debut there in 2024. The event will feature 13 official WSOP Circuit ring tournaments, with buy-ins ranging from €250 to €3,500, and will award each ring winner a $5,000 package to the WSOP Paradise event in the Bahamas.
Main Event and Tournament Structure
The €1,500 WSOP Circuit Main Event is the headline tournament, running from September 6 to 14. The Main Event offers five starting flights, including a turbo-format Day 1E on the evening of September 12. Players who advance from any starting flight will return for Day 2 on September 13, with the final table and championship scheduled for September 14. The structure is designed to accommodate a wide range of player bankrolls, with additional events such as the €500 Mini Main Event, €300 Colossus, €500 Mystery Bounty, €750 Knockout, €1,000 Deepstack, €2,500 High Roller, and €3,500 Super High Roller. Dedicated tournaments for Omaha, Ladies, and Seniors 50+ are also included in the schedule.
Full Schedule and Buy-Ins
The 2026 WSOP Circuit Paris schedule includes 13 ring events, each with a specific buy-in and date range. The series opens with the €500 Mini Main Event on September 1, followed by the €550 Seniors 50+ and €300 Colossus. Other notable events include the €500 Mystery Bounty, €750 Knockout, €1,000 Deepstack, €2,500 High Roller, and €3,500 Super High Roller. The €500 Omaha, €500 Ladies, and €500 Bigstack events provide additional variety. A €250 WSOP Circuit Online ring event will be held exclusively through PMU Play, with three starting flights and a final table on September 14. All ring winners receive a $5,000 package to WSOP Paradise, but the full terms and eligibility for these packages have not been detailed in the public schedule.
Online Satellites and Qualification
PMU Play will again serve as the official online partner for the festival, offering daily satellite tournaments that allow players to qualify for major live events at a reduced cost. These satellites will award seats to the Main Event, Deepstack, High Roller, and Super High Roller. The €250 WSOP Circuit Online ring event, played entirely on PMU Play, features three starting flights on September 6, 13, and 14, with the final table on the evening of September 14. Players interested in qualifying online should review PMU Play's terms and conditions for eligibility, as access may be restricted by jurisdiction or account status.
In poker tournaments, a "ring event" refers to an official competition where the winner receives a WSOP Circuit ring, a recognized symbol of achievement in the live poker circuit. Buy-in amounts determine the entry cost for each event, and multiple starting flights allow more players to participate and re-enter. Satellite tournaments are lower-cost qualifiers that award seats to higher buy-in events, making major tournaments more accessible to a broader range of players. The WSOP Circuit is distinct from the main World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, but ring winners often receive additional opportunities, such as entry packages to other major WSOP events.
