WSOP Circuit Panama returns Nov 5-15, 2026 with 12 gold ring events.
$500,000 guaranteed Main Event has $1,700 buy-in; runs Nov 7-15.
GGPoker satellites (Sep 26 - Oct 31) offer Main Event seats + hotel stay.

The WSOP Circuit returns to Panama from November 5 to November 15, 2026, featuring 12 gold ring events and a $500,000 guaranteed Main Event.

The WSOP Circuit will return to Panama for its third stop from November 5 through November 15, 2026, with the Sortis Hotel, Spa & Casino, Autograph Collection by Marriott in Panama City hosting the festival.

The series will feature 12 official gold ring events and a $500,000 guaranteed Main Event. The Main Event will run from November 7 through November 15 with a $1,700 buy-in.

GGPoker will serve as the exclusive online route to a Main Event seat through a satellite schedule running for more than a month.

The 2026 festival marks the WSOP Circuit's third visit to Panama. The Circuit first visited the country in November 2025 before returning for a second stop in May.

The upcoming edition will follow the established format with 12 ring events and a Main Event carrying a $500,000 guarantee.

The festival will take place over 11 nights at the Sortis Hotel, Spa & Casino, Autograph Collection by Marriott in the heart of Panama City.

GGPoker Satellites Offer Route to $1,700 Main Event Seat

Players can qualify online for the $1,700 Main Event through GGPoker satellites without paying the full buy-in directly.

The online satellite schedule opens September 26 and runs through October 31. This gives players more than a month to progress through the satellite structure from lower entry points toward a fully paid Main Event seat.

The satellite route follows a ladder format. Players can start at a smaller entry level, win a seat into the next stage and continue advancing until reaching the final prize, which is the $1,700 Main Event entry.

The satellites can be played according to individual schedules, with the qualifying period extending from September 26 through October 31.

Main Event Package Includes 11 Hotel Nights

The package attached to a successful Main Event qualification extends beyond the tournament seat.

Players who win their way into the Main Event receive 11 nights of double-occupancy accommodation at the Sortis Hotel.

Flights for the player and a companion are not included and must be covered separately. The package therefore combines the $1,700 Main Event buy-in with 11 nights of accommodation at the host hotel.

The 2026 WSOP Circuit Panama schedule will feature 12 official gold ring events, with the Main Event forming the centrepiece of the festival.

The Main Event is scheduled for November 7 through November 15 and carries a $500,000 guarantee at a $1,700 buy-in.

With online satellites beginning September 26 exclusively at GGPoker and continuing through October 31, players have more than a month to pursue a Main Event seat before the Circuit returns to Panama City.
