Word Series of Poker Partners with Warner Bros. Discovery for Global Broadcast Deal

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and World Series of Poker have agreed to a three-year partnership which will see the world’s leading poker event – held annually in Las Vegas since 1970 – broadcast across WBD channels and platforms in Europe, Latin America and Asia. 

The deal will see six 45-minute highlights programs broadcast across the Main Event (2-13 July) and its final table (3-5 August) on Eurosport in Europe and Asia, as well as on TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland, with shows available on-demand via HBO Max* across Europe. 

“To truly grow the game, you need a broadcast stage that matches the stakes. We are incredibly proud to partner with Warner Bros. Discovery to showcase the world’s biggest prize-money competition to mainstream audiences worldwide,” Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of WSOP said. “Together, we are firmly putting the ‘World’ back in the World Series of Poker.”

Eurosport in Europe and Asia and TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland will broadcast the final table, which is scheduled to take place Aug. 3-5 live.

All programming will be produced by Omaha Productions. In Latin America, meanwhile, daily 15-minute highlight programs will air on the Space channel throughout the Main Event and Final Table. 

“Warner Bros. Discovery’s unmatched global reach and premium sports platforms provide the perfect stage for the World Series of Poker to connect with millions of new and existing fans around the world, Trojan Paillot, Senior Vice President, Sports Rights Acquisitions and Syndication, said. “For the first time, WBD will bring the WSOP — the premier event in poker — to viewers across Europe, Asia and Latin America, expanding its global footprint and bringing the excitement, drama and prestige of poker’s biggest stage to audiences everywhere.” 

For viewers in America, the WSOP announced a return to ESPN in March. Omaha Productions, the company fronted by forme4 NFL stars Peyton and Eli Manning, is also the production company. That last time the WSOP appeared on ESPN was in 2006.
