Caesars Entertainment carries $11.9B in long-term debt, with $15.8B in scheduled principal maturities.

Maturity Schedule

As of 2026-03-31 (latest SEC filing with maturity data). Debt actions taken after this date will only appear once SEC processes the relevant XBRL filing.
Year 1 $114M Year 2 $845M Year 3 $1.6B Year 4 $4.0B Year 5 $4.0B Beyond 5 $5.3B
Period Amount Due % of Total
Year 1 (0-12 months) $114M 0.7%
Year 2 (12-24 months) $845M 5.4%
Year 3 (24-36 months) $1.6B 10.0%
Year 4 (36-48 months) $4.0B 25.1%
Year 5 (48-60 months) $4.0B 25.1%
Beyond 5 Years $5.3B 33.8%
Total Scheduled Maturities $15.8B 100.0%
Why don't these totals match? Total scheduled maturities ($15.8B) exceeds balance-sheet long-term debt ($11.9B) by about 25%. The two figures come from different disclosures: the maturity schedule aggregates gross principal repayments from the debt footnote — typically including the current portion of long-term debt and sometimes finance leases — while balance-sheet long-term debt is a carrying value that excludes the current portion and is net of unamortized discounts, premiums, and issuance costs. They can also come from filings with different period-end dates (2026-03-31 vs 2026-03-31). Both numbers are shown exactly as reported to the SEC.
