The WSOP Circuit will debut in Spain at Casino Gran Vía from October 23 to November 2, 2026, featuring 11 ring events, buy-ins from €300 to €2,500, and a €1,500 Main Event with four scheduled opening flights in Madrid.

The World Series of Poker Circuit will make its Spanish debut at Casino Gran Vía in Madrid from October 23 through November 2, 2026, with an 11-day festival featuring 11 ring events.

Buy-ins across the inaugural WSOP Circuit Madrid schedule will range from €300 to €2,500. The €1,500 Main Event will headline the series, while the series will also feature a €2,500 High Roller, Mystery Bounty, Colossus, Deepstack and Omaha tournaments.

The Madrid stop joins the WSOP Circuit calendar during a year that has already produced major attendance figures at other events.

In September, the $1,700 WSOP Circuit Main Event at Texas Card House in Austin attracted 2,090 entries, setting a new record for the largest WSOP Circuit Main Event field. Eric Chang won the tournament for $433,670.

That result followed the inaugural WSOP Super Circuit Canada at Playground, where the tournament generated a CAD 13,082,400 prize pool and became the biggest live poker tournament held in Canada. Mayukh Chakraborty won the event for CAD 1.5 million

The first WSOP Circuit festival in Spain begins on Friday, October 23 with Ring #1, the €300 Mini Main Event.

Two additional ring events will also begin during the opening weekend. The €550 Seniors tournament is restricted to players aged 50 and above, while the €550 Mystery Bounty is Ring #3 on the Madrid schedule.

The €300 Colossus will run across much of the festival. Six starting flights are scheduled between October 25 and November 1, with the final day taking place on November 2.

Players who advance from the four opening flights will return for Day 2 at 12:30 p.m. on October 31.
