Circa Sports has announced a combined $30m guaranteed prize pool for its 2026-27 professional football contests, marking the largest guarantee in the history of sports betting contests.
The operator’s eighth annual contest series will include a $20m guarantee for Circa Survivor, a $6m guarantee for Circa Million VIII and a $4m guarantee for the high-stakes Circa Grandissimo competition. All three contests will again operate on a no-rake basis.
Circa Survivor will award the remaining entrant with the final prize pool, while Circa Million VIII will feature a guaranteed $1m top prize alongside the traditional Circa Sports blue jacket for the winner. Circa Grandissimo, which carries a $100,000 entry fee, returns for its second year with a $4m guaranteed payout.
“Circa Sports was built on creating contests that are bigger, bolder and more player-friendly than anything else in the industry,” said Derek Stevens. “This year’s $30m guaranteed prize pool reflects the incredible momentum these contests have built over the years.”
During the 2025-26 season, five entrants split a record Circa Survivor prize pool of $18.7m after each finished the season with 20-0 records, with winning entries collecting more than $3.74m apiece. Circa Grandissimo winners shared $6.9m, while the Circa Million VII champion received $1m.
Registration for the contests opens on 22 May and runs through 12 September at participating Nevada locations including Circa Resort & Casino, the D Las Vegas, Silverton Casino Lodge, Tuscany Suites & Casino and Legends Bay in Sparks, Nevada.
