2026 WSOP Player of the Year Leaderboard

This year sets a new trend for the POY race by making not only the summer series but WSOP Europe and WSOP Paradise events eligible as well.

Thus, in 2026, players will accumulate points in three places:

• Prague — WSOP Europe from March 31st to April 12th, 2026
• Las Vegas — WSOP from May 26th to July 15th, 2026
• Bahamas — WSOP Paradise from December 1st to 18th, 2026

100 players will split $1,000,000 in prizes at the end of the year:

The formula for calculating points looks like this:

C = a multiplier based on player’s finish:

• 6x for the winner
• 4x for other finalists
• 2x for others reached ITM
• 1x for all other participants of the event

Rank Ration = Final Rank ÷ Total Entries

WSOP POY Restrictions

1. The WSOP POY only counts a player’s top 15 scores.
2. POY points can be earned only once per event, even in tournaments that allow players to cash multiple times.
3. Only public tournaments count towards the POY leaderboard; special tournaments with restrictions, Industry Employees, Seniors, Super Seniors, Tag Team, and Ladies, do not award points.

Additional Treats from WSOP to Players

In an effort to make the WSOP accessible to an international audience, organizers have decided to host free daily streams of the series’ tournaments via the WSOP YouTube channel.

The broadcast is promised to be upgraded in comparison to 2025 due to the use of a new TV set at Paris Las Vegas.

The registration to all tournaments began on February 16th, 2026 via WSOP+ App.

Finally, GGPoker holds WSOP Express satellites that are already awarding WSOP packages and tickets.
