WSOP Circuit Festival Returns to Paris for September 2026 Run
The World Series of Poker Circuit is set to return to Paris, France, for a two-week festival running from September 1 to 14, 2026, at Partouche Casino Club, marking the first stop there in two years through a partnership with Groupe Partouche and Texapoker, and the news surfaced in August 2026 as schedules were confirmed.
Thirteen WSOP Circuit rings form the core of the event, with buy-ins ranging from €250 to €3,500, while every ring winner earns a $5,000 package to WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas, and the lineup includes a mix of high-stakes tournaments alongside accessible options for a broad range of players.
Key Tournament Schedule and Structure
The €1,500 Main Event headlines the festival, featuring five starting flights spread across September 6 through 14, and it runs alongside supporting events such as the €500 Mini Main Event, the €300 Colossus, the €500 Mystery Bounty, the €2,500 High Roller, and the €3,500 Super High Roller, plus dedicated championships for Ladies, Seniors, and Omaha formats.
Satellites feed into the main series while a €250 online ring event operates through PMU Play, allowing participants to qualify remotely before the live action begins at the Partouche Casino Club venue.
Partnership Details and Venue Highlights
Groupe Partouche and Texapoker handle the local organization in collaboration with WSOP Circuit officials, and this arrangement brings the series back to the French capital after a two-year absence, with the full schedule now available for review according to reports from PokerNews.
Observers note that the combination of ring events and the Bahamas package creates clear progression paths, since ring winners receive the $5,000 travel and entry package that connects directly to the larger WSOP Paradise stop later in the year.
Event Offerings and Player Pathways
Buy-ins start at €250 for entry-level rings and climb to €3,500 for the Super High Roller, while the €300 Colossus and €500 Mystery Bounty provide mid-tier options that attract both recreational and experienced competitors, and the dedicated Ladies, Seniors, and Omaha championships add specialized brackets within the thirteen total rings.
Five starting flights for the €1,500 Main Event give players flexibility in scheduling, whereas the €500 Mini Main Event and other side events run concurrently to maintain a steady flow of action throughout the two weeks, and online satellites via PMU Play extend access to those who prefer to qualify from home.
Every ring winner secures the $5,000 WSOP Paradise package, which covers travel and entry to the Bahamas event, and this incentive ties the Paris stop to the broader WSOP calendar without overlap or conflict with other announced series.
Additional Context on the 2026 Calendar
The return to Partouche Casino Club follows a pattern of international WSOP Circuit expansion, and the August 2026 announcement provided the complete schedule in time for players to plan travel and satellite entries well in advance of the September dates.
Thirteen rings in total cover the range of buy-ins and formats, ensuring that multiple opportunities exist for participants to earn rings and the associated Bahamas packages, while the online component through PMU Play integrates with the live festival to broaden participation across regions.
Conclusion
The WSOP Circuit festival in Paris from September 1 to 14, 2026, delivers thirteen rings, varied buy-ins, and direct pathways to WSOP Paradise, all hosted at Partouche Casino Club under the Groupe Partouche and Texapoker partnership, with full details released in August 2026 to support player preparation.
