Could the WSOPE be moving to Prague?
It's just rumours at the moment but there are some strong hints that the World Series of Poker Europe is moving from Rozvadov next year.
With all the attention on WSOP Online and WSOP Paradise, you would be forgiven for not knowing the WSOPE was even on this year.
And now there are strong rumours that the festival could finally be moving from Rozvadov.
In a rant from high stakes pro Mustapha Kanit about King's Casino and Rozvadov, several high profile players, including Kanit himself, said they heard that next year's WSOPE would be in Prague instead.
Thank you
I have heard it will be in Prague next year— Lois Dufouleur (@LoisDufouleur) October 3, 2025
This what I heard to.
But meh even Prague imho doesn’t do the cut.
Anywhere where is quite hard to call a floorman and give a warning to kabrel doesn’t make the cut for me….— Mustapha Kanit (@Mustacchione) October 2, 2025
One person who is a particularly reliable source on this is WSOP Player of the Year crusher Shaun Deeb, who didn't confirm Prague, but did say this was the last year at Rozvadov:
It’s last year here but I think this was one of the best stops for so long I enjoy good poker action and no distractions this place was always perfect for me and looked forward to it. And yes I felt this way before winning a bracelet here https://t.co/8dmFOWdBPd

Prague in 2026?
Deeb won his 8th bracelet this year at the WSOPE, but eyebrows were raised at the size of the field in his victory. Just 26 unique entries, which shows that perhaps the festival has run out of momentum.
The World Series of Poker Europe had four years in London, two years in Cannes, one year in Enghien-les-Bains, one year in Berlin, and has since spent the last eight years in Rozvadov. While King's Casino is one of the great poker venues, Rozvadov itself is not exactly a major tourist destination.
Prague, on the other hand, is, and we have already seen how popular it can be because of EPT Prague. It is also strongly rumoured that there will be no EPT Prague in 2026, so the timing would be perfect.
Of course, this is all rumour, at the moment, but we may well see something announced this week as part of the hype around the WSOPE Main Event.
