The World Series of Poker has answered two questions that have lingered since its announcement last month of the 2026 schedule. First, as to which network will broadcast the tournament in its various forms, that will be ESPN, which resumes the partnership that ran from 1988 until 2021, when CBS took the reins. Second, the Main Event final table will take place starting on August 3, four weeks after the nine players are determined on July 13. It’s a return to the pause between the Main Event and the final table, known as the November Nine, which was contested in that month from 2008 to 2016. The WSOP is referring to this pause as a “Cliffhanger” break.
