The tournament will begin Jan. 7, according to ABC.
Holzhauer walked away the big winner after last week's "Tournament of Champions."
Fans of the game show have often speculated on who would win between Holzhauer and Jennings. The two of them often tease each over via Twitter during Holzhauer's appearances and Holzhauer has already started with the trash talk.

The tournament will consist of a series of two back-to-back games, airing weeknights beginning Jan. 7.
The player with the most combined winnings from the 2 games wins the "match," and the play continues on successive nights until one of them as won 3 matches and takes home a $1 million prize. The tournament could last anywhere from 3 to 7 days.
