The schedule for the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) championship has been announced, returning for its fourth consecutive year to the Horseshoe and Paris on the Las Vegas Strip. The series is set to run from May 27 to July 16, with the Main Event final table scheduled for July 15 and 16 at the Horseshoe Events Center.

The prestigious Main Event, which has been a tradition since the founding of the WSOP in 1970, now requires a $10,000 buy-in and offers the winner a prize in the eight-figure range.

With 99 bracelet events held in Las Vegas this year, over 100 are expected to be awarded next year due to increasing attendance since 2022.

WSOP CEO Ty Stewart stated, “Expect the most significant poker events in the world, top-notch action, and fierce competition as we welcome thousands of poker enthusiasts looking to experience the thrill of the WSOP once again.”

The complete daily event schedule for the 56th annual WSOP will be revealed early next year. Events such as the Mystery Millions, Millionaire Maker, Senior’s Championship, and $1,000-entry Tag Team and Shootout are anticipated to make a return. A comprehensive schedule will be released in early 2025, along with packages for players and fans to book discounted accommodations at local hotels.

Discounted room rates will be offered at Caesars Entertainment’s Las Vegas resorts for the tournament by visiting www.caesars.com and applying promo code WSOP25.

Players are encouraged to follow @WSOP on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram or visit WSOP.com for event updates and news.

GGPoker Takes Over

Last year, GGPoker acquired the WSOP from Caesars Entertainment for $500 million under its parent company, NSUS Group Inc. However, the agreement allows Caesars to host the tournament at its properties until 2044.

In 2004, Caesars, then known as Harrah’s Entertainment, purchased WSOP and Binion’s Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas for $44.3 million. The operating rights for that casino were later sold back.
