The WSOP Circuit returns to Aix-en-Provence in 2026

Building on the success of the 2025 edition, the World Series of Poker Circuit returns to the Pasino Grand in Aix-en-Provence in 2026, in partnership with Groupe Partouche and Texapoker.

The prestigious WSOP brand has announced the upcoming dates for its international Circuit stops. In Europe, the Pasino Grand in Aix-en-Provence will once again host the WSOP Circuit from April 10 to 21, 2026, alongside Groupe Partouche and Texapoker. The schedule will feature 12 WSOPC rings up for grabs, including one online event on PMU.fr, as well as a €1,500 buy-in Main Event. “Hosting and organizing the WSOP Circuit once again at the Pasino Grand is a tremendous source of pride for our teams,” said Laurent Mizoule, General Manager of the Pasino Grand Aix-en-Provence. “The success of the 2025 edition has strengthened our ambition to make Aix-en-Provence a major poker destination in Europe. For 2026, we are confident we can go even further by offering players an ever-higher-quality experience, with hospitality, organization, and facilities worthy of this exceptional poker event.”

“The Pasino Grand is the ideal venue for a festival of this magnitude, and Groupe Partouche is an essential partner,” added Apo Chantzis, CEO of Texapoker. “We are very honored by the renewed trust placed in us by the WSOP to develop its Circuit brand in France and Europe. As such, additional French and European stops will be announced soon.”
