They cut it a little close. GGPoker and the World Series of Poker announced their WSOP Online 2021 series schedule on July 20. The series actually begins on August 1.

The schedule includes these highlights:
-1 charity event-1 event in ¥ instead of $-3 events with buy-ins of $10K or higher-8 tournaments with multi-day starts/flights-9 championship events-13 tournaments with guarantees-17 events with buy-ins of less than $1K

Note that the Main Event is listed in bold. However, do not confuse this Main Event as THE Main Event of the 2021 WSOP; it is the Main Event of this part of the series. The actual $10K buy-in World Championship Main Event with its traditional format will take place in Las Vegas in November.
Also, the initial flight information for Events 31-33 is not listed on the GGPoker schedule page but will hopefully appear soon.
Finally, remember that all final table players will use their full given names instead of screen names during final table play.

Only two tournaments are scheduled for broadcast at this time:

Become a Team Champion
The winner of the GGPoker-WSOP 2021 Online Main Event will walk away with an impressive sum of money. GGPoker will also offer that player a spot on GGTeam Champions.
Being on the team invokes certain privileges, not the least of which is the package of tournament entries worth $50K. (That prize package includes seats into the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas, the WSOP Europe Main Event in Rozvadov, and the GGPoker Online Series Main Event.) Those players also receive a custom avatar, a special badge, unique affiliate code, and GGPlatinum Fish Buffet status.
The previous inductee to Team Champions was Niklas Astedt, who won the WSOP Circuit Main Event online at GGPoker in June.
