Warner Bros. Discovery and the World Series of Poker signed a three-year partnership to broadcast the Las Vegas tournament across Europe, Asia, and Latin America via Eurosport, TNT Sports, HBO Max, and Space, featuring live Final Table coverage.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and the World Series of Poker (WSOP) have finalized a three-year partnership agreement.

This multi-year broadcast deal will bring the world's premier poker event, which has been held annually in Las Vegas since 1970, to WBD channels and digital platforms across Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

Under the terms of the agreement, comprehensive coverage will be distributed across various regional networks.

For audiences in Europe and Asia, Eurosport will broadcast six 45-minute highlights programmes detailing the action from the Main Event, scheduled for 2 to 13 July, and the Final Table, taking place from 3 to 5 August.

Viewers in the UK and Ireland will be able to access these identical highlights packages via TNT Sports.

Additionally, all of these highlight shows will be available on-demand to subscribers via the HBO Max streaming service across Europe.

Live coverage of the prestigious WSOP Final Table will be handled by Eurosport for viewers in Europe and Asia, while TNT Sports will broadcast the live finale in the UK and Ireland.

Omaha Productions has been selected to produce all of the scheduled programming. For the Latin American market, the distribution plan features daily 15-minute highlight programs that will air on the Space channel throughout the duration of both the Main Event and the Final Table.

Executives from both organizations expressed strong optimism regarding the international expansion. Trojan Paillot, Senior Vice President, Sports Rights Acquisitions and Syndication at WBD, noted that the company's global reach and sports platforms offer an ideal stage for the WSOP to connect with millions of poker fans.

Paillot emphasized that this agreement marks the first time WBD will bring the flagship poker series to viewers across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, thereby expanding its international footprint while delivering the drama and prestige of the tournament to global audiences.

WSOP Chief Executive Officer Ty Stewart echoed those sentiments, stating that growing the game requires a broadcast stage that matches the high stakes of the competition.

Stewart shared his pride in partnering with WBD to showcase the world's largest prize-money competition to mainstream global audiences, adding that the collaboration firmly puts the "World" back in the World Series of Poker.
