The WSOP Circuit's autumn run: twenty stops, and half the map is outside the United States
The World Series of Poker's published Circuit calendar for autumn 2026 lists twenty stops between late September and early December. Eleven are in the United States, but the other nine sit in Canada, Malta, Spain, Argentina, the United Kingdom, Panama, Belgium and Italy — a spread that makes the Circuit a genuinely international tour rather than an American one with a few outposts.
The World Series of Poker's own Circuit schedule, read on 1 October 2026, lists twenty stops running from 24 September to 7 December 2026. Eleven are on US soil, from Thunder Valley near Sacramento to Harrah's Cherokee in the North Carolina mountains. The remaining nine are not.
That international half is the part worth noticing. Casino Malta in St. Julian's and Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary both started in late September. November alone carries Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, Casino Gran Vía in Madrid, City Center Rosario in Argentina, the Sortis in Panama City, Casino Middelkerke on the Belgian coast, Playground in Kahnawake and Casinò di Sanremo on the Italian Riviera — seven countries inside six weeks.
For players outside North America that changes the arithmetic of chasing a Circuit ring. A European player can reach four of these stops without crossing an ocean, and three of them (Nottingham, Madrid, Sanremo) are in cities with cheap scheduled flights from most of the continent.
A caveat on detail: the Circuit calendar page lists dates and host venues only. It does not publish per-event schedules, buy-ins or guarantees for any of the twenty stops, and we have not quoted any. Those come from each host venue's own tournament pages, and they tend to appear a few weeks out.
