Live poker tournaments in Brazil: the BSOP calendar and BSOP Millions

Brazil's live calendar is dominated by one tour: the BSOP, the Campeonato Brasileiro de Poker. It moves between Sao Paulo and resort stops through the year and finishes with BSOP Millions, the largest festival in South America by guarantee. Poker is a competitive game of skill played for entertainment, and the schedule below is what it looks like in Brazil.

BSOP Millions 2026

The season's closing festival runs from 13 to 28 November 2026 at the WTC Sheraton in Sao Paulo and carries more than ninety numbered events. The ones that shape it:

The R$25,000 BSOP Championship opens on 21 November and runs to the 28th, with a R$15 million guarantee. The R$5,000 BSOP Main Event starts earlier, on 16 November, and plays through to 23 November. The R$1,200 Millionaire Maker runs 18 to 24 November with a R$5 million guarantee, and the R$1,500 Start-Up Mystery Million opens the festival on 13 November with a R$1 million mystery envelope. The R$1,000 Uma Milha, from 24 November, also carries a R$1 million guarantee.

At the top end there is a R$500,000 Super High Roller Main Event on 20 November and a R$250,000 Super High Roller on 18 November. For the rest of the field there are the R$6,000 Mini Championship and R$10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Main Event from 25 November, the R$2,500 Mini Main Event from 23 November, and a R$2,500 Super Million on 27 November.

The range is the point

A festival that runs a R$1,000 event and a R$500,000 event in the same fortnight is doing something deliberate. The low end is where the field comes from, and the Mystery Million and Millionaire Maker formats exist to put a very large top prize behind a small buy-in. Those are entertainment formats with high variance by design: a R$1,200 entry into a R$5 million guaranteed prize pool means a large field and a small chance of a deep run for any individual player. Treat the headline guarantee as the size of the prize pool, not as an expectation.

The rest of the season

The 2027 season opens with BSOP Summer at Sauipe Resorts, Costa do Sauipe, from 22 to 30 January 2027. Earlier 2026 stops — BSOP Sao Paulo in March, BSOP Rio Quente in April and May, BSOP Winter in July and BSOP Floripa at Costao do Santinho in September — have been played and are kept on the site as archived records so the calendar's shape through the year stays visible.

Verification

Every date, buy-in and guarantee here was read from the BSOP's own site and carries the date we read it. Festival schedules change, and event numbering in particular is often adjusted late, so a record that passes our review interval goes back into the queue to be re-read rather than being left to age on the page.
