Paris Welcomes Back the WSOP Circuit for a Full Two-Week Run in September 2026

The World Series of Poker Circuit returns to Paris for a 14-day festival running from September 1 through September 14 2026 at the Partouche Casino Club Paris and the schedule lists 13 WSOP Circuit rings spread across buy-ins from €250 to €3,500. Organizers have confirmed the partnership between the WSOP, Groupe Partouche, and Texapoker will handle all operations at the historic venue located in the heart of the French capital. The Main Event carries a €1,500 buy-in and features five starting flights that begin on September 6 and conclude with the final table on September 14.

Additional ring events include a €300 Colossus, a €500 Mystery Bounty, multiple high-roller tournaments, Omaha variants, plus dedicated Ladies and Seniors tournaments. Every player who captures a Circuit ring earns an automatic $5,000 package that covers travel and entry into WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas later that year. Satellites feeding all events run exclusively through the PMU Play platform in the weeks leading up to the series.

Full Schedule and Tournament Structure

Observers note that the two-week layout allows players to enter multiple rings without overlap conflicts, while the five-flight Main Event structure gives both local regulars and international visitors flexible entry points. Daily side events fill the remaining schedule slots and create a steady flow of action from morning through late evening. Tournament directors have confirmed that all ring events follow standard WSOP Circuit payout structures with at least 15 percent of the field reaching the money in each tournament.

Prizes, Packages, and Player Pathways

Each of the 13 ring winners receives the $5,000 WSOP Paradise package that covers airfare, accommodations, and a seat in a $5,000 buy-in event at the Bahamas stop. This incentive structure connects the European Circuit stop directly to the flagship WSOP Paradise festival and gives European players a clear route to a major international title. Satellite players who qualify through PMU Play receive the same ring-event entry as those who register on site, which keeps the field composition balanced between online qualifiers and direct entrants.

According to the official schedule released in August 2026, the €1,500 Main Event remains the centerpiece with its five starting flights spread across the second week of the festival. The earlier portion of the series focuses on lower buy-in rings and the popular Colossus and Mystery Bounty events that traditionally draw the largest fields. High-roller and Omaha events occupy mid-week slots and attract specialists who often travel specifically for those formats.

Satellite Access and Regional Participation

PMU Play satellites begin several weeks before the festival opens and offer both direct seat awards and discounted buy-in packages. French players can access these satellites through the established PMU network while international visitors receive instructions on how to enter via approved online platforms. The structure mirrors previous successful Circuit stops in Europe and gives recreational players a low-cost path into rings that normally carry higher entry fees.

Those who have followed WSOP Circuit expansions note that the Paris return marks the second consecutive year the series has visited France, which reflects steady growth in European participation numbers. Venue capacity at Partouche Casino Club Paris allows for simultaneous running of multiple tournaments, reducing wait times and keeping the festival moving at a consistent pace throughout the two weeks.

Conclusion

The September 1-14 2026 dates at Partouche Casino Club Paris deliver a complete WSOP Circuit experience with 13 rings, varied buy-ins, and direct pathways to WSOP Paradise for every champion. Players interested in the festival can monitor satellite schedules on PMU Play and review the full event list through official WSOP channels as the summer progresses.
