WSOP Paradise 2026 Brings Record Guarantees to Baha Mar
The World Series of Poker announced the complete schedule for the fourth edition of WSOP Paradise, which returns to Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas from December 2 through December 17, 2026, and features 20 WSOP gold bracelet events along with a record $120 million in total guarantees.
Organizers confirmed that the series will once again occupy the resort's convention and poker facilities, while the headline attraction remains the $50 million Super Main Event, and a separate $20 million GGMillion$ Championship rounds out the high-stakes portion of the program.
Event Dates and Location Specifics
Registration and satellite qualifiers open well in advance of the December start date, yet the main action begins on December 2 with the first of the 20 bracelet events, and the schedule runs continuously until the final table of the Super Main Event concludes on December 17.
Baha Mar Resort, located on Cable Beach near Nassau, provides the venue for all tournaments, and the property's existing poker room will expand during the series to accommodate the expected field sizes across multiple starting flights.
Guarantee Structure and Featured Events
The total guarantee figure of $120 million represents the largest combined prize pool commitment in the history of the WSOP Paradise series, and this amount is distributed across the 20 gold bracelet tournaments, with the $50 million Super Main Event carrying the single largest guarantee.
Another centerpiece, the $20 million GGMillion$ Championship, will award its own WSOP bracelet and will follow a format that integrates online qualifiers from the GG Poker platform with live entries at Baha Mar, creating a hybrid path to the final tables.
Full Schedule Overview
The 20 events include a mix of No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and mixed-game formats, each carrying its own guarantee that contributes to the overall $120 million pool, while the Super Main Event and GGMillion$ Championship together account for the majority of that total.
Daily starting flights for the larger tournaments allow players multiple entry opportunities, and satellite tournaments both online and on-site will feed additional players into the main events without requiring the full buy-in upfront.
Participation and Qualification Pathways
Players from around the world can enter via direct buy-ins or through satellites that begin months earlier, and the Bahamas location continues to attract international fields because of its established reputation as a winter destination for poker tournaments.
According to details released on the official WSOP site, the schedule incorporates lessons from previous editions to streamline registration and payout procedures, which helps manage the volume expected from the elevated guarantee levels.
Additional information on the complete daily lineup appears in coverage from PokerFuse, where observers can review starting times, buy-in amounts, and guarantee allocations for every bracelet event.
Historical Context Within the Series
This marks the fourth consecutive year that WSOP Paradise has taken place at Baha Mar, and the progression from earlier editions shows a steady increase in both the number of events and the size of the combined guarantees, culminating in the current $120 million figure.
The addition of the GGMillion$ Championship expands the partnership between WSOP and GG Poker, allowing players who qualify online to compete directly for a live bracelet in the Bahamas without separate travel arrangements for preliminary rounds.
Conclusion
The 2026 WSOP Paradise schedule delivers 20 bracelet events at Baha Mar Resort between December 2 and December 17, anchored by the $50 million Super Main Event and the $20 million GGMillion$ Championship within an overall $120 million guarantee structure, and the full calendar is now available through official WSOP channels for players planning their participation.
