The World Series of Poker Europe 2026 has officially started in Prague, drawing participants from across the globe to the Hilton Atrium for an eleven-day series of high-stakes events.
The tournament schedule began with the initial flights of the €1,100 The Opener Mystery Bounty and Day 1 of the €3,300 Mixed PLO. The centerpiece of the series is the WSOP Europe No-Limit Hold’em Main Event, which offers a guaranteed prize pool of €10,000,000, the largest in European poker history. Notable poker figures present include 2026 reigning WSOP Player of the Year Shaun Deeb, online player Viktor ‘Isildur’ Blom, and vlogger Lexy Gavin-Mather.
This year’s WSOP Europe promises to enhance the profile of poker in the region, not only due to its record-setting prize pool but also through improved digital engagement via the WSOP Live app. The app, formerly WSOP+, provides live updates, tournament registration, and player stories, with reporters on hand to cover developments throughout the event series.
