The WSOP Circuit returns to Nottingham’s Dusk Till Dawn in November, led by a £1 million guaranteed Main Event. Players can buy in or qualify online, while Lucas Jumalon’s WSOP Academy meet-up offers eligible customers a Main Event seat opportunity.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit is returning to Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham, UK, in November 2026, headlined by a £1 million guaranteed Main Event and multiple routes for players to qualify online.

The festival also features a £250,000 guaranteed Mini Main and a Paradise Mystery Bounty event carrying a $15,000 package as a mystery bounty.

How to Participate in WSOP Circuit Nottingham

Players can enter tournaments directly or qualify online through GGPoker satellites. The online qualification pathway starts from £0.01 and includes Centrolls, feeder tournaments and step satellites, offering players a route towards a £1,500 Main Event seat without buying in directly.

GGPoker has advertised Mega Satellites guaranteeing 20 Main Event seats on November 2 and November 9.

Players can find the relevant tournaments by opening the Tournament tab in the GGPoker client and searching for “WSOP-C”. Satellite schedules are subject to change.

For live festival registration, Dusk Till Dawn directs players to the WSOP+ LIVE app. The venue's schedule lists the Main Event at £1,350 plus a £150 registration fee, with a £1 million guaranteed prize pool from November 8 to 16.

The Mini Main runs November 6 to 8 with a £260 buy-in plus a £40 fee and a £250,000 guarantee. Its prize pool includes 15 Main Event seats valued at £1,500 each.

The Paradise Mystery Bounty runs November 9 to 11, with a £500 buy-in plus a £60 fee and a £250,000 guarantee. It also includes 15 Main Event seats and a $15,000 WSOP Paradise package as a mystery bounty.

Lucas Jumalon to Host WSOP Academy Meet-Up

The Nottingham stop will also host the opening event of reigning WSOP Main Event champion Lucas Jumalon's global search for a poker protégé. The 22-year-old, who won the 2026 Main Event and its $10 million first prize, has become a global ambassador for the WSOP Academy app.

On November 13, Jumalon is scheduled to host a special meet-up game at Dusk Till Dawn, exclusively for WSOP Academy customers.

One participant will win a complimentary seat in the Nottingham WSOP Circuit Main Event. WSOP has advised Academy users to watch for further details on joining the game.

At the end of his global tour, Jumalon will select one standout player from the meet-up winners to compete in the 2027 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas, which has a $10,000 buy-in, under his mentorship.

The Nottingham festival combines its million-pound Main Event guarantee with lower-cost qualification routes, additional satellite seats and a separate opportunity for WSOP Academy customers to earn a Main Event entry.
