Las Vegas, NV (January 20, 2026) — The PokerGO Tour® (PGT®) today announced the opening stretch of tournament series for the front half of the 2026 season. The PGT Kickoff, PGT Mixed Games, Super High Roller Bowl: Mixed Games, PokerGO Cup, and PGT PLO Series at The Venetian® Resort Las Vegas set the early framework of a season-long competition where results accumulate, standings evolve, and the top performers earn a place in the PGT Championship.
The PGT operates as a structured, points-based season in which players accumulate results over time. Each series plays a role in shaping the PGT leaderboard, with only the top 40 eligible players from the season-long leaderboard earning a seat in the season-ending PGT Championship. The newly announced schedule represents the first major opportunities for players to establish position in that race.
The 2026 PGT season officially begins with the PGT Kickoff, a six-tournament opening series held at the PokerGO® Studio in Las Vegas.
- Six tournaments
- Buy-ins ranging from $5,300 to $10,500
- Double PGT points awarded for all cashes
- Rake discount available for on-time registration
With enhanced point incentives, the PGT Kickoff is designed to jumpstart the standings and reward players who perform early in the season.
The opening stretch of the schedule continues with PGT Mixed Games, shifting the focus to all-around skill and adaptability.
- Seven mixed-game tournaments
- Buy-ins ranging from $5,300 to $26,000
- Held at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas
- Rake discount available for on-time registration
This series places a premium on versatility and allows players to build points across multiple formats as the leaderboard begins to take shape.
On February 2, there is a $750 8-game satellite that will award seats into PGT Mixed Games Event #1 or #2. The satellite will be held in the ARIA poker room.
One of the most prestigious tournaments on the PGT calendar returns with the Super High Roller Bowl: Mixed Games, immediately following the PGT Mixed Games series.
- $103,000 buy-in
- Three-day tournament
- 10-game mixed format
- Rake discount available for on-time registration
In addition, a Super High Roller Series $5,300 8-Game event will take place on February 13, providing another points-earning opportunity during Super High Roller Bowl week.
Satellite players can find a $12,700 10-game satellite into Super High Roller Bowl: Mixed Games on February 11, held inside the PokerGO Studio. On February 12, there will be a $750 satellite for the Super High Roller Series $5,300 8-Game tournament.
The PokerGO Cup returns in March and serves players one of the most influential stretches of the season. This series traditionally produces significant movement in the standings and is a can’t-miss competition for high-stakes players.
- 10 no-limit hold’em tournaments
- Open with the PokerGO Cup $3,300 Showcase, a multi-flight opening event
- Buy-ins ranging from $3,300 to $15,700
- Rake discount available for on-time registration
The depth and duration of the PokerGO Cup make it a defining segment of the early season for players targeting a top-40 finish.
Two satellites will be offered for the PokerGO Cup $3,300 Showcase. First, a $360 buy-in, five-seat guarantee satellite takes place on February 28. Then, on March 1, it’s a $360 buy-in, three-seat guarantee satellite. Both take place in the ARIA poker room.
To close out March, the tour expands beyond the PokerGO Studio with the PGT PLO Series at The Venetian Resort.
- Eight pot-limit Omaha tournaments
- $1,000,000 in guaranteed prize pools across the series
- $3,300 PLO Main Event with a $500,000 guarantee
- $10,500 PLO Championship with a $500,000 guarantee
- Rake discount available for on-time registration
The Venetian Resort will offer a robust schedule of satellites, available at price points of $360, $560, and $1,100. There are four $360 satellites planned for March 18-20 to award seats into the $3,300 PLO Main Event, and each satellite boasts three seats guaranteed.
Together, these series form the opening slate of the 2026 PGT season, setting the competitive landscape and giving players multiple pathways to earn points and position themselves for a run at the PGT Championship.
Additional series and full schedule details for the remainder of the 2026 season will be announced in the coming months.
