The World Series of Poker Circuit returns to Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, Oklahoma, from October 28 through November 9, 2026.
As of August 16, 2026, WSOP has confirmed the dates, host property, city and Circuit designation for the fall festival. The official fall event page still states that the tournament schedule will be announced soon, so the ring-event count, Main Event details, guarantees, supporting-event lineup, satellites and structure sheets remain Not Published.
Players should use the official WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant event page and schedule status as the primary source for the complete schedule once WSOP releases it. The broader official WSOP tournament schedule also confirms the October 28-November 9 dates.
This guide does not carry forward tournament details from Choctaw's January 2026, July 2026 or fall 2025 Circuit festivals. Those were separate stops with their own schedules, guarantees and structures.
⠀
Choctaw's Third WSOP Circuit Stop of 2026
The October/November festival is Choctaw Durant's third separate WSOP Circuit stop of the 2026 calendar year.
WSOP records show a January 7-19 stop and a July 15-27 stop at Choctaw before the October 28-November 9 festival. Results, guarantees, buy-ins and structures from those earlier series should not be treated as fall information unless the new schedule independently confirms them.
Players planning a broader regional Circuit itinerary can also compare Angry Aces Poker's 2026 WSOP Circuit Hard Rock Tulsa guide and 2026 WSOP Circuit Texas Card House Austin guide.

WSOP Circuit Rings and 2026 Championship Benefits
WSOP's current 2026 policy gives every WSOP Circuit gold-ring winner an exclusive $5,000 package for WSOP Paradise 2026.
According to WSOP, the package includes entry into the WSOP Circuit Championship and hotel accommodations in the Bahamas. The official WSOP Circuit history page describes the same benefit, while the 2026 $5,000 Circuit package terms govern how it can be used.
Important package conditions include:
The package is non-transferable.
The package is non-refundable.
It has no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash.
It must be used for WSOP Paradise 2026.
The winner must have a WSOP LIVE account.
Valid government-issued photo identification is required to claim the package.
A qualifying player may redeem a maximum of one package during the 2026 promotional period.
Airfare is not listed by WSOP as an included package component.
WSOP Paradise 2026 is currently scheduled for December 3-17 at Baha Mar Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. The exact Circuit Championship structure and the detailed hotel allocation attached to the $5,000 package have not yet been published on the current Paradise schedule page.
⠀
Tournament Structures and Registration
The fall Choctaw structure sheets have not been published, so starting stacks, blind levels, antes, late-registration windows and re-entry rules remain Not Published.
Players who want a refresher on how tournament levels work can review Angry Aces Poker's guide to blinds, antes and the dealer button, but the official fall structure sheet will control the actual Choctaw tournament rules.
⠀
WSOP LIVE and Registration
Earlier 2026 Choctaw materials referred to WSOP+, while current WSOP pages now direct players to the WSOP LIVE app. WSOP describes WSOP LIVE as its official event companion for registration, tournament information, notifications and real-time event data.
Players can review the official WSOP LIVE app information before the series.
For the fall Choctaw stop:
WSOP LIVE account requirement: Current WSOP policy
Fall-specific registration desk or cashier location: Not Published
Fall-specific accepted payment methods: Not Published
Fall-specific registration hours: Not Published
Fall-specific identification procedure: Not Published
Do not automatically apply Las Vegas WSOP cashier instructions or another Circuit property's payment procedures to Choctaw. The final fall event instructions should be checked when WSOP releases the schedule.
⠀
Choctaw Poker and Tournament Venue
Choctaw's permanent poker room is located in the Sky Casino and has more than 30 tables. The property directs players to the Bravo app for current cash-game availability.
The official Choctaw Durant property page is the most useful current source for poker-room and property logistics, while Choctaw also maintains an official poker page.
The exact tournament location for the October/November WSOP Circuit festival is Not Published. Players should not assume the fall ring events will use the Grand Theater, the permanent poker room or another convention area until Choctaw or WSOP confirms the setup.
Current practical information:
Permanent poker room: Sky Casino
Poker tables: More than 30
Poker-room hours: Not Published on the current official page
Current cash-game mix: Check Bravo
Fall tournament registration location: Not Published
Fall tournament cashier location: Not Published
Fall tournament playing area: Not Published
Minimum gaming age at Choctaw: 18
Choctaw's current compliance rules require gaming guests to be at least 18 and permit the property to request valid government-issued photo identification. Event-specific eligibility language in the final WSOP materials will still control the tournament.
⠀
Choctaw Casino & Resort
Choctaw Casino & Resort-Durant is located at 4216 S. Hwy 69/75, Durant, Oklahoma 74701.
The property is open 24 hours and includes the casino, permanent poker room, hotel accommodations, dining, entertainment and resort amenities. Choctaw currently lists approximately 1,700 hotel rooms across the property and more than 30 poker tables in the Sky Casino.
The Sky Casino is a major nonsmoking gaming area. Choctaw also operates a Rewards Club that awards benefits across gaming, hotel stays and participating dining and retail purchases. Players can review the current Choctaw Rewards program before arriving.
⠀
Where to Stay
Choctaw offers on-site accommodations in the Sky Tower, Grand Tower and Spa Tower. The official Choctaw Durant hotel page should be used for current room availability and booking information.
No official fall WSOP room block published.
As of August 16, Choctaw has not posted a fall WSOP promo code, poker-player room rate, booking deadline or tournament-specific cancellation terms for the October 28-November 9 stop.
Do not reuse a January or July WSOP hotel code.
Choctaw Rewards members may have access to general member hotel discounts, but those are separate from an official fall WSOP room block.
⠀
Dining and Amenities
Choctaw has a broad mix of quick-service, casual and sit-down dining. For tournament players, the most useful choices are the ones that can fit around long levels and late finishes.
The official Choctaw Durant dining directory includes current restaurant locations and hours.
Practical options include:
Starbucks for coffee and quick breakfast items.
Grand Café in the Grand Casino, which Choctaw currently lists as open 24 hours.
Grand Bakery for round-the-clock sweets and pizza.
District Hall and the food court for faster meals.
The League, Guy Fieri's American Kitchen + Bar and other casual restaurants for longer breaks.
1832 Steakhouse for a sit-down dinner away from the tournament pace.
Restaurant hours can change, especially around weekends and major events, so check the official dining pages during the series.
⠀
Parking and Getting There
Choctaw Casino & Resort-Durant is at 4216 S. Hwy 69/75 in Durant.
Choctaw currently lists two major parking garages:
North Parking Garage: convenient for the Spa Tower, Grand Casino and Grand Theater.
South Parking Garage: convenient for the Sky Tower, The District and the permanent poker room in the Sky Casino.
Because the fall tournament playing area has not been announced, the best garage for WSOP players is also Not Published. If tournament play is placed in a large event space rather than the poker room, the most convenient parking choice may change.
Choctaw states that valet parking is complimentary for hotel guests at the Spa Tower and Sky Tower entrances. The property also offers complimentary on-property shuttle service for resort and RV Park guests.
Fall WSOP overflow-parking plan: Not Published
Fall WSOP event-specific parking instructions: Not Published
Self-parking fee for this event: Not Published on the current tournament information
Event-specific accessibility-parking instructions: Not Published
Fly-in players can compare Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field based on airfare and ground-transportation plans. Choctaw does not currently publish a fall WSOP airport shuttle, so players should arrange their own ground transportation unless the resort later announces another option.
⠀
Durant and the North Texas Market
Choctaw Casino & Resort is physically located in Durant, Oklahoma. It should not be described as a Dallas casino or a Texas casino.
The property has long drawn poker traffic from North Texas, and Choctaw itself describes the Durant resort as roughly an hour north of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. That regional relationship is useful for tournament travelers, but the state line matters for the venue, gaming rules and travel planning.
The resort sits directly on the U.S. 69/75 corridor, making highway access from North Texas straightforward without placing the casino in Texas.
⠀
