The World Series of Poker Circuit debuts in Mexico City from August 31 to September 11, 2026, at Hotel Barcelo Mexico Santa Fe. The festival features 12 gold ring events, a $1,700 Main Event, and GGPoker online satellites starting at $5.
For the first time in history, the World Series of Poker Circuit is coming to Mexico City. From August 31 through September 11, 2026, the Hotel Barcelo Mexico Santa Fe in CDMX will become the premier poker destination in Latin America.
Presented by Bigbola Casinos, WSOP Circuit Mexico City will deliver 12 official gold ring events to the region. GGPoker serves as the exclusive online gateway for the festival, offering players a chance to secure a seat without paying the full entry fee.
The World Series of Poker has served as a competitive proving ground since 1970. The Circuit series extends this legacy beyond Las Vegas to cities worldwide.
The gold rings awarded during this inaugural edition in Mexico City carry the exact same weight as the hardware handed out on the Las Vegas Strip, making this a founding moment for poker in Latin America.
Twelve Official WSOP Gold Rings
The WSOP Circuit gold ring represents a permanent entry in the official World Series of Poker record books.
WSOP Circuit Mexico City features 12 ring events across eleven days, featuring No-Limit Hold’em, specialty formats, and high-stakes events. The complete schedule for the lineup will be announced soon.
In addition to the hardware, every ring event champion will receive a $5,000 package to the WSOP Circuit Championship in the Bahamas. This prize provides each title winner with an entry into one of the most prestigious postseason events in poker.
The centerpiece of the stop is the Main Event, which runs from September 4 through September 9, 2026. Featuring a $1,700 buy-in, this tournament will draw a large field to crown the inaugural champion of the destination.
For players looking to understand how to navigate a multi-day tournament field, reviewing concepts like ICM strategy can provide valuable insights before sitting down at the tables.
