It won't be the weeks-long recurring show many fans are used to, but the World Series of Poker will once again be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks. And it's coming to a TV near you in just a few short days.
The 2020 WSOP will be broadcast starting at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 28 and lasting four hours, with everything carried on ESPN2. The shows will chronicle both the domestic and international editions of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event, culminating in the $1 million heads-up match between the champions of those tournaments, Joseph Hebert and Damian Salas, respectively.
The schedule, speculated upon for weeks, was confirmed via a presser released by the WSOP this afternoon.
“We could not be more excited to deliver poker fans new primetime content on ESPN,” said Ty Stewart, executive director of the WSOP. “With compelling storylines and unpredictable action, these episodes remind us all why there was a poker boom in the first place.”
New Format, Feel for 2020 Coverage
Of course, the radical changes wrought to the WSOP by COVID-19 necessitated a new format to the event, which saw most of the play take place online on WSOP.com (U.S. players) and GGPoker (international players).
The final tables of each portion were played out live but were not broadcast via livestream, making for a marked change in the coverage from previous years. Instead, the only access to real-time results came through PokerNews' own reporting from both final tables.
That means that while the hand histories themselves may be on record, nearly all viewers will be witnessing the action for the first time. That hearkens back to the days of tape-delayed TV releases that predated modern streaming broadcasts that changed the way the WSOP is consumed by the average fan.
“We are ecstatic that even in an unprecedented year, we can give our audience another fantastic World Series of Poker event to look forward to,” said Tim Bunnell, senior VP, programming & acquisitions, ESPN. “The format may be different, but the action remains captivating.”
Additionally, the commentary team will have a new look. After nearly two decades of Lon McEachern and Norman Chad calling the action, with a variety of co-hosts joining them in recent years, the McEachern will instead team with popular pro Jamie Kerstetter.
In another departure from previous years, which saw the broadcast split between ESPN and ESPN2, only the latter will carry the poker action.
It'll be four hours straight through showing the pertinent hands from both the domestic and live final tables. It's not currently known in what order the tournaments will be shown, or whether they'll be edited in some format that follows both at once.
Once those are finished, the epic heads-up match between Salas and Hebert figures to fill plenty of airtime, considering it proved a grueling affair lasting more than 170 hands.
It's not known what role, if any, PokerGO will play in the coverage. Currently, PokerGO holds the rights to the historic broadcasts and has all of the old WSOPs for subscriber access in its on-demand archive. PokerNews has inquired whether the 2020 broadcast will join them in the vaults and will post an update if and when an answer is received. Update: PokerNews was told the 2020 broadcast is 'expected to be on PokerGO in the future' but the timeline has yet to be determined.

World Series of Poker
The New Year is just around the corner and with that, we have 12 months’ worth of fresh poker tournaments to look forward to. These days, you can of course find major poker events taking place all over the globe but the UK in particular plays host to numerous great tournaments every year. From what we know already, 2020 will be no different.
So, whether you live in the UK or want to plan a poker trip there for next year, this list of top UK poker tournaments to look forward to in 2020 should be quite helpful.
2020 partypoker Millions UK Main Event at Dusk Till Dawn
Kicking things off in style for the New Year, one of the best-known UK poker rooms is organizing the 2020 UK Millions poker series. Lasting from December 29, 2019 to January 9, 2020, the event will host several tournaments worth playing. The major one is, of course, the 2020 Millions UK Main Event featuring a guaranteed prize pool of £5,000,000.

The Main Event will feature two starting days on January 8 and 9 and those wanting to get in will need to dish out £10,300 for the privilege. Historically speaking, Dusk Till Dawn has been very successful organizing poker events with great turnaround so the guaranteed prize pool for the Main Event will likely be shattered.
Goliath 2020
The massive Goliath event has already been confirmed for 2020. The tournament will take place between July 29 and August 9, 2020, at the Ricoh Arena and Grosvenor Casino. There is no detailed information about the event as of yet but — if past years are any indicator — it’s safe to say it’s going to be a big one.
In 2019, the Goliath gathered 9,300 entries, smashing records from previous years. The eventual winner ended up pocketing £64,000 for his efforts, which may not seem like a massive amount. However, considering the buy-in is just £125, it’s definitely not a paltry sum.
Next year will also mark the 10th anniversary of Goliath, so it’s possible the organizers will have some surprises lined up for the players. Stay tuned!
888poker LIVE Event
One of the best online casinos in the UK according to CasinoGuide.co.uk, over the past few years 888 has been building a network of live poker events across Europe. Just last month ago, their £1,100 Main Event at the Aspers Casino in London crowned a champion who took home not just the cool £100,000 first prize but also a free package for the 2020 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas.

888poker don’t release their schedule of live events all at once, so there is no official information about their plans for the UK in 2020. However, considering the fact the London stop was quite a success, with the Main Event attracting 518 entries, we’re likely to see 888poker LIVE coming back to the UK the next year.
The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour
Dates for the 13th Grosvenor UK Poker Tour have been announced and this is definitely something local players can look forward to. Namely, with the guaranteed prize pool in excess of £1.6 million and Main Events featuring buy-ins of £500 and £1,000, there’ll be plenty of cash up for grabs at all the different stops throughout the year.
