PokerStars Reveals SCOOP 2026 Schedule: 400 Tournaments, $45M+ Guaranteed

The wait is over. The complete 2026 schedule for the Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) has been released, and it’s one of the biggest editions yet.

Running from March 1–25, this year’s SCOOP features 136 unique events spread across Low, Medium, and High buy-in tiers. With multiple stake levels for most tournaments, that adds up to a massive 400 individual events and more than $45 million in guaranteed prize pools.

Whether you’re grinding micro-stakes or firing bullets in the high rollers, there’s no shortage of opportunities to chase major online titles this spring.

Something for Every Player

SCOOP’s layered structure ensures wide accessibility across formats and bankrolls.

Love low-stakes PLO with mystery bounties?
Prefer mid-stakes 2-7 Single Draw with progressive knockouts?
More comfortable battling six-handed high-stakes no-limit hold’em?

SCOOP 2026 has all of it — and much more.

From traditional freezeouts and PKOs to specialty formats and niche mixed games, the schedule offers one of the most diverse online series lineups of the year.
