The 2026 World Series of Poker begins on May 26, and PokerOrg’s WSOP Fantasy Freeroll is back to give you another summer-long sweat with the biggest names in the game.

Pick a team of eight players, track their results throughout the series, and compete for big prizes. The deeper your players run, the more points you score.

The draft opens at 4am PT on May 26.

Entry is completely free for Org members, and signing up takes just a few seconds.

Click the ‘Register’ button at the top of this page to sign up now.

How does the 2026 WSOP Fantasy Freeroll work?

As with last year’s edition, our 2026 Fantasy Freeroll is run in exclusive partnership with David ‘ODB’ Baker’s long-running ODB Fantasy contest. We use the same player prices and scoring system. The big difference? Entry is completely free.

You have a maximum team budget of $200 to draft a roster of eight poker players who you think will crush at this summer's WSOP.

Player prices will be set at the official 25K Fantasy Draft on May 25, which streams live on PokerGO’s YouTube channel from 4:30pm PT.

Once prices are finalized, the PokerOrg Fantasy Freeroll draft opens. You’ll have until 1pm PT on May 28 to lock in your team.

Pick whoever you want – just stay under the $200 salary cap.

Fantasy Freeroll scoring

Your players will earn points for every in-the-money finish they pick up during the WSOP. Deeper runs, larger fields, bigger buy-ins, and wins will all increase the points they score.

You can check out the full scoring system here. But don’t worry about crunching the numbers – player scores update automatically throughout the series, with live leaderboard data from every WSOP event.

All open bracelet events from the 2026 WSOP in Las Vegas count towards your score. The exclusions are as follows: 

  • Event #66 – Tag Team
  • Online bracelet events
