PokerStars’ SCOOP 2026 shifts to a new March 1–25 schedule, featuring 400 tournaments and over $45 million in guarantees.
The iconic Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) is returning to PokerStars in 2026 with a major twist. For the first time, the prestigious series is "springing forward" to March, moving from its traditional May slot to kick off the year’s major tournament action earlier than ever.
Running from March 1 to March 25, 2026, the series boasts over $45 million in total guarantees. With 400 tournaments across 136 distinct events, the schedule is designed to accommodate players of all bankrolls, featuring the classic Low, Medium, and High tier system.
Key Highlights of the 2026 Schedule
The Main Events (March 22): The pinnacle of the series features three NLHE Main Events with massive prizes:
- Low: $109 buy-in, $1.5M Gtd
- Medium: $1,050 buy-in, $2M Gtd
- High: $5,200 buy-in, $2M Gtd
Opening Day Action (March 1): The festival begins with a bang, featuring a $215 Sunday Million PKO with a $1M guarantee and the official SCOOP Kickoff events.
Mystery Bounty Events: Following the success of the format, several Mystery Bounty tournaments are scattered throughout the schedule, including a $22 Mystery Sunday Special on March 8.
Why the Change?
PokerStars has moved the dates to optimize the global poker calendar, ensuring a more streamlined sequence of events for 2026. This shift allows players to jump into high-stakes championship action immediately following the February Warm-Up series.
Whether you are chasing your first title or looking to join the ranks of legends like Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson, the SCOOP 2026 stage is set for greatness.
