The wait is finally over, as the World Series of Poker has revealed the full schedule for 2024. The 2024 WSOP schedule came a bit later than usual, but there is still plenty of time to prepare and organize for the summer grind in Las Vegas.
The 2024 edition of the World Series of Poker, marking the 55th anniversary of the event, will feature the record-breaking 99 events running May 28 – July 17. There will be plenty of action across all buy-in levels, and some dozen new events added to the mix.
One oddity this year is that the WSOP will not kick off with the Casino Employees event. While the tournament will play out on the first day, May 28, the first official event of the 2024 WSOP will be the $5,000 Champions Reunion, where players will have a chance to win Main Event seats by eliminating former winners.
2024 WSOP Key Details
- Dates: May 28 – June 17
- Venue: Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas
- Number of bracelet events: 99
- Main Event dates: July 3 – 17
- Official live stream partner: PokerGO
Big Summer Ahead
In 2023, WSOP broke many records, including the Main Event attendance record that was in place since 2006. This year, the company will look to build on that momentum, with the largest number of bracelet events in its 55 years history.
The WSOP 2024 schedule includes a number of new events and many favorites coming back, including the $300 Gladiators of Poker, a super-cheap tournament that gives everyone a shot at a coveted WSOP bracelet.
In the months leading up to the series, players will have ample opportunities to qualify for WSOP events, both live and online. During the Series, WSOP.com plans to host daily satellites offering seats to a next day’s bracelet event, which should further boost participation numbers this year.
New Tournaments on the 2024 WSOP Schedule
Live poker tournaments have been booming in recent times, and WSOP is looking to take full advantage of that trend. So, with just one tournament short of 100, the 2024 schedule features quite a few new and interesting events.
Date | Event | Buy-in |
June 13 | Big O Championship | $10,000 |
June 25 | PokerNews Deep Stack Championship NLHE | $600 |
June 26 | Seniors High Roller NLHE | $5,000 |
July 3 | Independence Day Celebration | $800 |
July 9 | Mystery Bounty PLO | $1,000 |
July 11 | Mid-Stakes Championship NLHE | $3,000 |
These and other new events on the schedule will give players an opportunity to enjoy their time at the WSOP even more. It is clear that the goal is to make sure not a moment goes to waste, with action happening around the clock and buy-ins and formats catering to all tastes and preferences.
2024 WSOP Main Event Looking to Break Records
The 2023 Main Event was a landmark tournament in many regards. It posted the largest field in the history of the event, and the eventual winner, Daniel Weinman took home $12.1 million, the largest prize ever.
But, in words of WSOP’s Executive Director Ty Stewart, records are made to be broken, and the organizers are looking forward to the 2024 edition of the WSOP Main Event.
Anticipating large player numbers, WSOP has introduced an additional 100 poker tables, so there will be no shortage of space. And, with big plans for online and live satellites once again, it’s not out of the realm of possibility for the attendance record to be broken again.
Other Highlight Events on the WSOP 2024 Schedule
In addition to the Main Event and new tournaments, players can look forward to many events they’ve become accustomed to at the World Series of Poker. Some of the main highlights include:
$5,000 Champions Reunion on May 28 – knocking out previous Main Event winners will earn you a seat in the 2024 Main Event
- $1,000 Mystery Millions, starting on May 30 – $1,000,000 top bounty is guaranteed
- $300 Gladiators of Poker, kicking off on June 6 – $3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool & payouts each flight
