The ESPN flagship channel and ESPN 2 will host 14 straight days of WSOP main event action, with PokerGO streaming additional exclusive coverage outside of the ESPN broadcast windows.

As is recent years, PokerGO will also have an extensive schedule of streams covering other bracelet events throughout the summer. The final schedule of the events to be broadcast will be announced nearer to the start of the WSOP.

“For the past four years, our partnership with ESPN has been centered on creating the ultimate fan experience by providing wire-to-wire coverage of the World Series of Poker Main Event,” Chief Business Officer of Poker Central JR McCabe said in the WSOP press release. “We look forward to another year of bringing poker’s premier event to fans all across the globe.”

“ESPN’s yearly World Series of Poker coverage has proven to be an annual favorite with our poker fans,” said Rob Temple, Senior Vice President of programming and acquisitions at ESPN. “Through our partnership with Poker Central, we look forward to another season of extensive broadcast coverage of the most popular poker event on earth.”
