The World Series of Poker—the world’s largest and longest‑running poker festival—returns to Turning Stone Resort Casino from March 12–23, 2026, bringing more than $2.5 million in guaranteed prize pools. Marking its fifth consecutive year as New York’s exclusive WSOP Circuit stop, the series is expected to draw thousands of players and will once again feature a marquee $1 million guaranteed Main Event.
A total of 18 WSOP gold rings, the most coveted prize in Circuit poker, will be awarded throughout the series. Each ring winner will also earn a $5,000 WSOP Paradise Package, which includes entry and accommodations for the Circuit Championship at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas this December.
In addition to the three‑day $1 Million Main Event held inside Turning Stone’s Event Center, the resort’s Poker Room will host a two‑day Mini Main Event with a $500,000 guarantee. Last year’s edition surpassed the mark, generating a prize pool of more than $1 million. Other returning fan favorites include:
- Ladies‑Only Event – $25,000 guarantee
- 40/40/40 No‑Limit Hold’em – $100,000 guarantee (ages 40+)
- Two‑Day Monster Stack – $200,000 guarantee
The 2026 WSOP Circuit stop at Turning Stone is open to all players 18 and older, welcoming everyone from first‑timers to seasoned professionals. Continuing the momentum from recent seasons, all 2026 Circuit events will fully integrate the WSOP+ app, offering streamlined registration, real‑time tournament data, payout information, and a more seamless player experience from start to finish.
