WPT Prime Taiwan 2027
WPT Prime Taiwan returns to Taipei from January 2–11, 2027, featuring a TWD 30 million guaranteed Championship. WPT Global will offer online satellites and live packages, while a second WPT festival is scheduled for August 12–23, 2027.

WPT Prime Taiwan will return to Taipei from January 2–11, 2027, at CTP’s Asia Poker Arena, featuring a TWD 30 million (~ USD 1 million) guaranteed prize pool for its Championship event. 

A second WPT festival is also scheduled in Taiwan from August 12–23, 2027, with its name and tournament format to be announced later.


WPT Prime Taiwan Championship Headlines January Festival

The January festival, presented by PokerTalk and sponsored by WPT Global, will be headlined by the WPT Prime Taiwan Championship, which carries a TWD 35,000 (~ USD 1,100) buy-in.

The Championship will run from January 7-11, while the wider festival will take place from January 2–11. The event returns to CTP, a long-standing host of World Poker Tour events in Taipei.

Founded by Hsing “David” Tai, the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Association has played a role in developing Taiwan’s live tournament scene. 

The venue previously hosted a notable WPT Prime Taiwan Championship in 2024, attracting 1,666 entries. That turnout set a record for a WPT Prime Championship outside Las Vegas at the time.

Hsing “David” Tai, founder of CTP, said, “We are delighted to welcome WPT® back to Taiwan. The tremendous support from Taiwanese players and players from around the world has helped make WPT Prime Taiwan a special event for us. 

"We look forward to welcoming everyone to enjoy great poker, food and culture, and the warmth of Taiwanese hospitality.”

WPT Global to Offer Online Satellites and Live Packages

WPT Global will support the January festival with online satellites at multiple buy-in levels, including low-cost qualifiers. Players will have opportunities to win exclusive live packages for the event at CTP’s Asia Poker Arena.

The sponsor also plans to introduce additional player incentives, promotions and on-site activities throughout the festival.

Details covering satellite dates, buy-ins, package inclusions and eligibility criteria will be announced closer to the event. Players can follow WPT Global’s official channels for further information.

Taiwan will host another WPT event from August 12-23, 2027. The tournament series’ name and format have not yet been announced.

For the January festival, further venue information, registration guidance and the final daily schedule will be released ahead of the event.

WPT Prime Taiwan is scheduled for January 2-11, 2027, at CTP’s Asia Poker Arena in Taipei’s Zhongshan District.
