The year 2026 has already started in full swing at the tables not only in Brazil, but also in several other parts of the world. Gigantic scores, like Alisson Piekazewicz’s in South Korea, already show that the season will be brilliant. But there is still a lot to come, including cash, bracelets, national titles, and more.

Right in April, the chips will roll for those who enjoy national poker. Starting on the 8th, KSOP South America, in Balneário Camboriú (SC), will promote two weeks of non-stop action. While at the end of the month, players will be able to enjoy the BSOP stage in Rio Quente (GO), one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the Midwest.
But make no mistake, as international disputes are also happening at full speed. Until April 12th, WSOP Europe delivers world series bracelets in Czechia, on a new date. And before the WSOP attracts most of the community to Las Vegas, there is still a stop in Monaco for the EPT Monte Carlo.
WSOP: the great world poker festival
It will be from May 26th that the WSOP will hold its 2026 edition in Las Vegas (USA). Until July 15th, a hundred bracelets will find their owners, while the legendary Main Event narrows its field down to the final table. The decision, however, will take place in August, with the return of the ESPN broadcast.

While the WSOP shakes up North America, the action in South America doesn’t stop, with KSOP Puerto Iguazú in June. Right after the world series, the BSOP Winter Millions closes the month of July in style. And KSOP returns in August, holding a stage in Fortaleza (CE).
Packed second half
Right at the beginning of the second half, the traditional EPT Barcelona takes top-level players to one of Europe’s main destinations. After a September dedicated to online, October returns with a BSOP stage at a location yet to be defined, followed by KSOP Rio de Janeiro, closing the Kings circuit season.
Finally, BSOP Millions, the biggest stage of the season on the Brazilian circuit, ends the year nationally in November. And in December, the WPT World Championship shakes up Las Vegas, and WSOP Paradise returns to the Bahamas.
