The WSOP 2024 Schedule Is Here!
Many poker players were first introduced to the game during the poker boom in the early 2000’s. During these years, people stayed up all nights and watched televised broadcasts of live poker tournaments, dreaming of one day sitting at the bit tables themselves. Out of all the televised events, there was one that stood out from the rest: the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
The first ever WSOP was played 1970 and about 30 players participated in the inaugural event. Since then, the WSOP has grown and today is the most prestigious live poker event. A couple of days ago, the schedule for this year’s edition was released and there’s no doubt that the excitement in Las Vegas will be immense this summer. Let’s take a closer look at the schedule!
WSOP Main Event 2024 Schedule
WSOP 2024 will be played at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas between May 28th-July 17th. Considering last year’s event broke all sorts of records, it’s safe to say that the WSOP is hotter than ever and we can’t wait to see the action unfold in Vegas. This year, there are no less than 99 events during the series.
Let’s start with the legendary tournament that’s on everyone’s mind – the World Series of Poker 2024 Main Event. Throughout the years we’ve seen poker legends being made in this tournament; Chris Moneymaker, Phil Hellmuth, Jonathan Duhamel and Martin Jacobson, to name a few.
This year, the $10 000 WSOP Main Event will begin July 3rd and there will be four starting flights running from then to July 6th. There will be two Day 2’s (7th-8th) and it’s possible to register up late until Level 8 in the Day 2 flights. The play will then continue on until only nine players remain. These individuals will battle it out for the WSOP Main Event bracelet at the final table July 16th-17th.
In 2023, 10 043 players registered for the Main Event. American Daniel Weinman won the event and received the biggest WSOP Main Event payout in history, $12.100.000. We’re predicting a large prize pool this year as well and we can’t wait for a winner to be crowned!

There’s no doubt that this 3-day event will be one of the most action-filled tournaments during this year’s WSOP.
Mixed Games lovers are certainly not forgotten and there will be all sorts of games during the series this year. Whether you prefer 8-Game, Deuce to Seven, Razz, 7-Card Stud or H.O.R.S.E. you’ll find the events of your dreams in Vegas this summer.
The whole series will kick off with the $5 000 Champions Reunion No Limit- Hold’Em Freezeout event. This also is a first-ever event and it has quite the unique twist: if you manage to knock out a WSOP Main Event champion, you’ll receive a Main Event Buy-In as a bounty. Considering all previous Main Event champions will be invited to play the Champions Reunion complimentary, there ought to be good chances snagging a Main Event Buy-In.
WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart has high expectations for this year’s WSOP:
We’re proud to be Las Vegas’ Original Main Event. Records are made to be broken, so our motto this year is bigger and better. With our best schedule ever and more than 100 additional poker tables, we look forward to welcoming legends, first-timers and everyone in between. If you’re a poker player there is simply no experience on earth like the World Series of Poker.”
