WSOP 2020 Schedule: the Main Event

Forget the long queues at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and the comments about the close-to-polar temperatures in the tournament room.

The largest part of the 2020 WSOP Main Event action is going to happen online with only 18 survivors being invited to play a game of live poker.

To complicate things even further, not everyone will play at the same time this year. The two poker operators set up two different schedules that converge into one final event scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on Dec. 30.

To help you keep track of what-happens-where and know what are the key dates that are relevant to you, we put together a detailed 2020 WSOP schedule with everything there is to know about this year's $10,000 Main Event.

Schedule of the 2020 WSOP Domestic Main Event

The 'domestic' Main Event is a $10,000 buy-in freezeout no-limit Texas hold'em tournament that will take place on WSOP.com.

This poker tournament will be open to all players in New Jersey and Nevada.

• The action begins on Sunday, Dec. 13, with the event's only Day 1 flight.
• The tournament will then continue on Monday, December 14, and play down to a final table of nine players.
• The final table will see all the qualifiers play down to a winner at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, on Monday, Dec. 28.

Important Notice: You do not need to be a resident of New Jersey or Nevada to play — but you are required to be physically located in one of these two states to access the games on the WSOP.com client.

Schedule of the 2020 WSOP International Main Event

Wsop Tv Times

To allow more players to join the event and fight for the most coveted title in poker, the WSOP will run an 'international' leg of the Main Event as well.

This $10,000 freezeout tournament will take place on the GGPoker client, the same that already hosted a successful online edition of the WSOP in the summer.

_{If you are not sure whether you are allowed to play games on GGPoker, you can visit this page.}

Given that the GGPoker leg of the 2020 WSOP Main Event is expected to attract a larger crowd, the organizers split the action into three starting flights.

• The action on GGPoker will begin on Sunday, Nov. 29 with the Day 1a.
• The other Day 1's will take place on Saturday, Dec. 5, and Sunday, Dec. 6.
• All the survivors will then play down to nine players on Monday, Dec. 7.
• The last nine participants will play down to a winner in a game of live poker to be held at the King's Casino in Rozvadov, on Tuesday, Dec. 16.

Should travel restrictions or a casino shutdown prevent the WSOP Main Event final table to take place in Rozvadov, the organizer announced they will consider moving the event online or rescheduling it to a later date.

Keep in mind that each player can only play one Day 1, so you won't be able to re-enter the tournament after you are eliminated.

The 2020 WSOP Main Event Heads-Up Finale

The winner of both the 'domestic' and the 'international' legs of this unprecedented 2020 WSOP Main Event will then play in a special Heads-Up Finale that will take place at the Rio on Wednesday, Dec. 30.

The winner of this adrenaline-packed game will walk away with an added $1,000,000 cash prize, a bracelet, and the title of 2020 WSOP Main Event champion.
