WSOP Announces 2021 Dates - Live, Online, and Europe Returning

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) announced its plans for 2021 which will include a return to live play at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino from September 30 – November 23, along with WSOP Europe returning to King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, from November 19 – December 8.

The complete schedule of the 2021 WSOP will be announced at a later date, but the Main Event will return from November 4 – 17 with four starting days. The opening weekend will include three new events to the series; a special charity event to benefit frontline health workers, a $25,000 H.O.R.S.E., and The Reunion tournament which will be a $5 million guaranteed No-Limit Hold’em tournament.

Specific COVID-19 safety protocols will be implemented according to gaming regulations, and they will be announced closer to the 2021 WSOP.

“This year, more than ever, we embrace our role at the WSOP to deliver memorable experiences and bring this community of poker lovers back together. In 2021, the theme is, get vaccinated and get back to Vegas,” said Ty Stewart, WSOP Executive Director.
