BSOP Summer 2027 will once again bring Brazil’s biggest live poker tour to the sands of Bahia, with organizers confirming a return to Costa do Sauípe Resort for a nine-day festival running January 22 to 30, 2027. The news was first reported by SuperPoker and announced on site during the ongoing BSOP Winter series by Leo Rizzo, the BSOP circuit’s ambassador.
BSOP Summer 2027 Confirmed for Costa do Sauípe
Speaking to players at BSOP Winter, Leo Rizzo made the announcement that many in the Brazilian poker community had been waiting for. “O BSOP Summer 2027 terá nove dias de disputa, indo de 22 a 30 de janeiro, e acontecerá novamente no Sauípe Resorts,” Rizzo said, confirming both the dates and the venue in a single statement.
The confirmation gives players, satellite qualifiers and traveling railbirds a full runway to plan around a tournament series that has become one of the most anticipated stops on the Brazilian Series of Poker calendar. Specific buy-ins for BSOP Summer 2027 events have not yet been released, and BSOP has indicated that full details will be published on its official website closer to the series.
A Third Straight Year on Bahia’s Coast
This will mark the third consecutive year that BSOP has opened its season at Costa do Sauípe, a stretch that has effectively turned the resort into the traditional home of BSOP Summer. For a tour that has historically rotated among several Brazilian cities and international destinations, three straight editions in the same location signals a level of commitment from both BSOP and the resort that goes beyond a one-off booking.
That continuity matters for a live tour. Repeat visits allow a venue to fine-tune everything from tournament room logistics to lodging packages, and they give recurring players a sense of familiarity with the property, the surrounding area and the overall rhythm of the event. Costa do Sauípe’s growing association with BSOP Summer has made the resort almost synonymous with the start of the Brazilian poker calendar year, the way certain casinos become linked to a particular stop on a tour simply through repetition.
Nine Days, One Beach Resort
The 2027 edition will run for nine days, from January 22 through January 30, giving the series a substantial window to host its usual mix of preliminary events, high-value flagship tournaments and satellite structures. Costa do Sauípe Resort has set aside more than 3,000 square meters reserved exclusively for players and guests, a dedicated footprint that separates the poker action and accompanying hospitality from the rest of the resort’s regular guest traffic.
A beach resort setting of this scale allows BSOP to run a true festival atmosphere rather than a stripped-down tournament room. Between sessions, players and companions have access to the wider resort, its beaches and its amenities, a format that has become part of the appeal for Brazilian poker players who treat BSOP Summer as both a competitive trip and a vacation. Nine days is also enough runway for a series to stagger multiple tournament tracks without forcing players to choose between overlapping flagship events, a scheduling approach common to major live series worldwide.
Banda Eva and the Carnival Connection
One of the most distinctive elements of the announcement is the entertainment lineup. Banda Eva, one of Bahia’s best known axé acts, will perform its trio elétrico show at BSOP Summer 2027, the same style of performance the band delivers annually during Salvador’s Carnival celebrations. Bringing that act to Costa do Sauípe folds a piece of Bahia’s Carnival culture directly into the poker festival’s atmosphere.
For players unfamiliar with the tradition, a trio elétrico is a large sound truck that leads street parties through packed crowds, a Carnival staple in Salvador and across Bahia. Timing BSOP Summer’s calendar slot in January, just ahead of Brazil’s Carnival season, lets the tour lean into that regional identity rather than compete with it, giving the series a cultural texture that is difficult to replicate outside the state. It also reinforces why Costa do Sauípe, rather than a purely convention-style venue, keeps getting chosen for this particular stop on the calendar.
Travel Packages Through Flush Tour
On the logistics side, BSOP has partnered with Flush Tour to offer all-inclusive travel packages for players heading to Costa do Sauípe. These packages are aimed at simplifying the trip for players coming from outside Bahia, bundling elements of travel and accommodation around the nine-day series rather than leaving attendees to coordinate flights and lodging separately.
Early purchasers stand to benefit most. Discounted pricing on those packages is available through the end of the current BSOP Winter series, giving players a limited window to lock in savings before the discount period closes. Anyone weighing a trip to BSOP Summer 2027 has a practical incentive to make travel arrangements sooner rather than later, even with buy-in details for the tournament schedule still pending. Packaging travel this way is common practice for destination poker festivals, where lodging at the host resort itself is often the most convenient, and sometimes the only practical, option for the length of the series.
What It Means for BSOP’s 2027 Calendar
BSOP Summer 2027 also offers an early signal of how the tour’s next full calendar year is taking shape. BSOP’s 2026 schedule already spanned six stages across the year, a run Poker Pro Academy has covered separately, and locking in the Sauípe date this far ahead suggests organizers are building out 2027 with a similar structure in mind, anchored by a known season opener.
For players newer to Brazil’s live tournament scene, a large multi-day festival like BSOP Summer can feel like a lot to plan around, from structure to travel to simply knowing what to expect at the tables. Readers looking for a broader primer on how major live tournament series are structured, including staggered starting flights and late registration windows common to events of this size, can check out Poker Pro Academy’s WSOP guide for context that applies broadly across big-field live tours, even outside the United States.
With dates locked, a venue confirmed for a third straight year, travel packages already on sale and Banda Eva booked for the entertainment slot, BSOP Summer 2027 has most of its framework in place well over a year before the first cards hit the felt. The remaining piece, the buy-in structure for individual events, is expected to follow on BSOP’s official website as the series approaches. Until then, the confirmed dates of January 22 through 30, 2027, and the return to Costa do Sauípe give players plenty to plan around.
