The Continuing Presence of WPT Prime in Taiwan
WPT has announced two festivals in Taiwan for 2027, both at CTP’s Asia Poker Arena. The first is WPT Prime Taiwan, scheduled for January 2–11, while the second follows on August 12–23. The August festival’s name and format have not yet been confirmed.
The venue already has a place in WPT Prime history. In 2024, the WPT Prime Taiwan Championship attracted 1,666 entries at Asia Poker Arena, setting the record for a WPT Prime Championship outside Las Vegas at that time.
August Festival Schedule and Highlights
The confirmed August 12–23 dates cover the festival as a whole. Main Event dates, buy-ins, guarantees, starting flights, and side events remain to be announced. Players should check the final tournament schedule before choosing which days to attend.
Online qualification details for the August festival have not been announced in WPT’s release. The WPT Global sponsorship, satellites, and live-package plans described there apply to the January festival; August qualification arrangements will need separate confirmation.
