PokerStars on FanDuel announces the September Dynasty Series in the US and Ontario

The September Dynasty Series will be held simultaneously on the PokerStars on FanDuel platforms in the United States and Ontario from September 12 to 28, 2026. The series will offer 100 tournaments and $3.5 million guaranteed in prizes for US players, while Ontario users can choose from 61 events in the first official series following the integration of PokerStars and FanDuel in the Canadian province.

Key Features of the September Dynasty Series

The September Dynasty Series marks a new chapter in the combined offering of PokerStars on FanDuel following the merger of both operations. For players in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, the $3.5 million guaranteed is spread across a schedule of 100 tournaments. Ontario debuts during the same period with 61 events and its own Main Event, though a global guarantee figure has not yet been published.

The main tournament in the United States will be the $300 Main Event, which will take place over two days from September 27 to 28 and will feature a guarantee of $350,000. Additionally, all standard formats will be included, such as no-limit hold'em, pot-limit Omaha, and Omaha 5, with buy-ins ranging from $10 to $1,500.

Featured Tournaments and Structures for the US

The agenda in the United States encompasses tournaments from accessible levels to high rollers. Among the most notable events are:

• September 12: $1,000 Storm Kickoff ($100,000 guaranteed)
• September 13-14: $500 Storm ($100,000 guaranteed)

An active leaderboard will be held throughout the series to reward regular results in the circuit, encouraging continuous participation.

First Series and Complementary Events in Ontario

The schedule in Ontario represents the debut of the PokerStars on FanDuel platform in organizing its own series in the provincial market. There will be 61 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from CA$30 to CA$1,500. The competition will conclude, as in the US, with the $300 Main Event and the $50 Mini Main.

In Ontario, all tournaments will be no-limit hold'em, but will include variants such as mystery bounties, PKO, and standard events. Specific guarantees have yet to be announced, nor has the total prize pool for the series. The most significant tournaments will be distributed as follows:

• September 13-14: $500 Storm
• September 20-21: $1,000 Bounty Storm
• September 20-21: $200 Bounty Dynasty
• September 27: $50 Mini Main
• September 27-28: $1,500 High Roller Main
• September 27-28: $300 Main Event

Pre-Freeroll Festival

As a prelude to the September Dynasty Series, PokerStars on FanDuel is launching the Summer Sendoff Freeroll Festival in Ontario from September 4 to 13. This preliminary event will feature a daily freeroll tournament (mainly hold'em, though at least one PLO will be included), with guaranteed prizes ranging from CA$250 to CA$5,000. All are free to enter.

Incentives, Access, and Coverage for the US and Ontario

PokerStars on FanDuel concentrates its largest multi-table tournament action of the second half of the year in this joint festival. The variety of formats and investment ranges aims to attract both recreational and seasoned players, with structures tailored for both profiles. The presence of leaderboards adds value to regular results. Images and information about the schedule are provided by Rational Intellectual Holdings Ltd/PokerStars.

The series is exclusive to PokerStars on FanDuel and reflects the trend of segmenting the offering by jurisdiction (in line with regulations in the North American market) following the merger between both brands. Ontario players can check the full offering and festival details on the official PokerStars on FanDuel page; US users have direct access to all series from the associated platform.

What to Expect for the Future of PokerStars on FanDuel?

The organization of the September Dynasty Series is the next step following the success of the Ignite Series, which gathered a guarantee of $5 million in April. This momentum demonstrates the operator's interest in strengthening both platforms for network tournaments in the United States and expanding assets in Ontario, a territory that has recently approved specific online gaming and poker regulations. The debut in Ontario, with exclusive events and parallel free tournaments, aims to capture a diverse player audience and test the health of the local poker ecosystem under the merged brand.
