A mainstream broadcast partner

The World Series of Poker Main Event starts next week, and now details of the broadcast schedule have been announced.

A reminder, this year the World Series has returned to a partnership with ESPN after years of paywalled coverage from PokerGO. While all the preliminary bracelet events have been for free on YouTube, they move over to ESPN for the Main Event. 

If you live outside of the United States, you will still be able to watch this via a number of ESPN's global broadcast partners or via Winamax if you are French-speaking.

Coverage starts next week

The Main Event is back on ESPN

Live streamed coverage starts immediately for the Main Event on July 2nd, all the way until July 13. Between then and August, you can watch the edited highlights shows as part of the build-up to the delayed final table, which gets underway on August 3 and runs until August 5. 

Look out also for the announcement of the inductees into the Poker Hall of Fame, which typically happens around the start of the final table. 

“Poker’s biggest stage belongs on ESPN,” said Ashley O’Connor, Vice President, Programming & Acquisitions, ESPN. “We’re excited for the return of bluffs, bad beats and WSOP championship moments to be back on ESPN this summer.”
