Regional Broadcast Details

The question of where European players could watch the series arose after ESPN was confirmed as the core broadcast partner. Under the new Warner Bros. Discovery agreement, Eurosport will serve as the destination for live streamed coverage of the Main Event across mainland Europe.

For viewers in the United Kingdom and Ireland, the broadcasts will be hosted on TNT Sports. Fans in those regions can find the TNT Sports coverage included as part of the HBO Max subscription service.

Both Eurosport and TNT Sports will broadcast live segments and provide edited highlight shows of this year's Main Event. The Warner Bros. Discovery partnership also extends to Latin America, where viewers can watch the edited highlight shows on the Space Channel.

Expanding the Global Reach

The WSOP management views this multi-network distribution as a method to increase the international footprint of the tournament.

Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of the WSOP, highlighted the value of reaching viewers on standard television networks. Stewart commented:

To truly grow the game, you need a broadcast stage that matches the stakes. We are incredibly proud to partner with Warner Bros. Discovery to showcase the world's biggest prize-money competition to mainstream audiences worldwide. Together, we are firmly putting the 'World' back in the World Series of Poker.
