  • WSOP 2026 brings Main Event TV coverage back to ESPN in the U.S.
  • All other events stream for free on YouTube, Twitch, X, and Facebook worldwide.
  • International rights secured by Warner Bros. Discovery on Eurosport, HBO Max, TNT Sports, and others.
WSOP Main Event
The television and streaming landscape for the World Series of Poker has undergone a massive shift this summer. The era of niche poker platforms has ended, replaced by partnerships with major sports networks, mainstream streaming services, and free social media channels. 

From the biggest names in the game that include ESPN and Europsort, to HBO Max, the 2026 WSOP is determined to reach every corner of the poker world this summer. To help, we thought we'd create a roadmap of where you can watch the Vegas action this summer.

The US Core: ESPN and Free Social Streams

In the United States, the broadcasting rights for the Main Event returned to ESPN this year. Starting July 2, 2026, the network will deliver more than 100 hours of coverage, tracking the world championship tournament from Day 1A through the final table.  

For the early and middle rounds, fans can watch the live feeds through the ESPN App, which requires a subscription. However, the final table itself, taking place after a short break from August 3 to August 5, will be broadcast live on ESPN and ESPN2 linear cable packages.  

If you want to watch the rest of the summer schedule, the setup changes entirely. The other 99 gold bracelet events are being streamed completely for free. For 51 days straight, viewers can watch daily final tables on the WSOP’s official YouTube channel, as well as on Twitch, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook

International Distribution: The Warner Bros. Discovery Deal

For viewers outside of North America, the WSOP secured a three-year agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery to place the Main Event on major international networks.  

  • Mainland Europe and Asia: Eurosport will be the central home for live streams and tournament coverage.  
  • UK and Ireland: TNT Sports holds the broadcast rights, with the coverage integrated directly into the HBO Max streaming service.
  • On-Demand Access: European fans can also utilize HBO Max to watch on-demand replays of the action.  
  • Latin America: The Space Channel will broadcast edited 15-minute highlight packages tracking the key moments of the tournament.  
  • France: Winamax continues its role as the official French-language partner.  

WSOP Chief Executive Officer Ty Stewart highlighted the intent behind using these widespread mainstream services:

To truly grow the game, you need a broadcast stage that matches the stakes. We are incredibly proud to partner with Warner Bros. Discovery to showcase the world's biggest prize-money competition to mainstream audiences worldwide. Together, we are firmly putting the 'World' back in the World Series of Poker.
