The World Series of Poker Circuit debuts in Mexico City from August 31 through September 11, 2026, featuring 12 gold rings at Hotel Barcelo Mexico Santa Fe. GGPoker hosts exclusive online satellites from July 2, starting at $5.
The World Series of Poker has been the ultimate proving ground for competitive poker since 1970. The Circuit series carries that prestige beyond Las Vegas and delivers it to cities and players across the globe. For the first time in history, the World Series of Poker Circuit is coming to Mexico City.
When a WSOP Circuit gold ring is awarded in Mexico City, it carries the exact same weight as any piece of hardware ever handed out on the Strip.
From August 31 through September 11, 2026, the Hotel Barcelo Mexico Santa Fe in CDMX becomes the most important poker destination in Latin America. WSOP Circuit Mexico City by Bigbola Casinos delivers 12 official gold ring events to the region, with the Main Event running September 4 through September 9.
This is the inaugural edition, and that word matters. The players who compete this August and September will be the first to write this chapter of WSOP history, becoming the first names in the record books and the first gold ring holders from CDMX.
Founding moments in poker are rare, and this is one of them. For players across Latin America who have dreamed of competing at a WSOP Circuit event without booking a transatlantic flight, the wait is over. Mexico City is ready, the stage is set, and GGPoker is your exclusive gateway into the limelight.
The WSOP Circuit gold ring is one of the most coveted prizes in competitive poker. It is a permanent entry in the official World Series of Poker record books, a tangible marker of elite performance, and the calling card of a serious player.
WSOP Circuit Mexico City features 12 ring events across eleven days. Whether your game is No-Limit Hold’em, a specialty format, or a high-stakes event, the circuit delivers a diverse lineup that rewards a wide range of styles and bankrolls. The complete schedule will be announced soon.
Every ring event champion will also receive a $5,000 package to the WSOP Circuit Championship in the Bahamas. Every title you chase in CDMX comes with a shot at one of the most prestigious postseason events in poker. Win a ring in Mexico City, earn your seat in Paradise.
The Main Event is the tournament that defines every WSOP Circuit stop. It draws the largest field, generates the most attention, and crowns the champion whose name lives in the WSOP record books permanently. At WSOP Circuit Mexico City, the Main Event runs from September 4 through September 9, 2026, with a $1,700 buy-in.
The inaugural Main Event champion will hold a title no one can ever take away, the first name on a list that will grow for years to come. That kind of permanence is rare in any sport, and in poker, it is priceless.
