The World Series of Poker Circuit season started in the United States on July 17, 2019, the WSOP International Circuit kicked off in Russia just two days later.
The 2019-2020 season came together in April and May of 2019 when the first stops were announced, though the latter half of the international schedule came together more recently. Both, however, have been in action for many months. They provide tournaments at each tour stop with reasonable buy-ins, WSOP Circuit gold rings up for grabs, and chances to win a seat into the season-ending Global Championship.
As the second half of the season gets underway after the holidays, it provides a good opportunity to refresh and reiterate the remainder of the current season’s schedule.

Global Casino Championship in August
The annual WSOP Global Casino Championship will officially mark the end of the season. However, it is not set until August 2020. The exact details have yet to be announced, but it is supposed to be held at Harrah’s Cherokee in North Carolina.
Each year, the tournament offers a $1 million prize pool for players, all of whom win their seats throughout the season. They can win their way in by winning a Main Event at any WSOP Circuit stop or earn enough points at any stop to become the Casino Champion. Two players from each international stop will also win seats and be offered free hotel accommodations and travel expenses if they choose to play in the tournament in the US.
Players can expect more details on this event in the next few months.
