WSOP Main Event Returns to ESPN Broadcast in 2024
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event is set to return to ESPN for broadcast coverage starting in 2024. This marks a renewal of the relationship between the three entities after ESPN last aired the tournament in 2020. The broadcast deal includes both live streaming on PokerGO and delayed television broadcasts on ESPN, expanding the accessibility of poker’s most prestigious event. PokerGO, which produces the tournament coverage, will continue to live stream the series during its run. The move is seen as a strategic effort to increase viewership and engagement across multiple platforms, reinforcing WSOP’s presence in the poker and gaming media space. The return of the Main Event to ESPN aligns with a broader trend of major poker events seeking both traditional sports networks and digital streaming platforms to reach diversified audiences.
