USOP Grand Championship Vietnam 2026 postponed and moved to Hanoi — with three different sets of dates on record
The USOP Grand Championship Vietnam 2026, originally calendared for 22 October to 4 November, has been postponed and relocated to a Hanoi edition run with Grand Loyal Poker Club. No venue has been confirmed and the event's own calendar entry carries two different replacement date ranges, so players are being told to hold off on booking travel.
Vietnam's biggest announced festival of the autumn is not being played on the dates it was advertised. The USOP Grand Championship Vietnam 2026 was listed for 22 October to 4 November 2026. Its calendar entry, last updated on 16 October 2026, now carries a "moved" status and says management has confirmed the event is officially moved to a Hanoi edition described as GLPC powered by USOP — that is, run with Grand Loyal Poker Club, the Ba Dinh room that has hosted the Hanoi Series of Poker, the Vietnam Poker League and five editions of its own Grand Loyal Poker Championship.
What the entry does not do is settle when. Its introduction gives new dates of 20 November to 1 December 2026, while its own status table gives 18 to 29 November. Those are three date ranges for one festival, counting the original. The official venue is still to be announced, no guarantee or buy-in figures are published, and no event schedule has been released. The page gives no reason for the postponement.
The practical advice on the listing is the right advice: do not book flights or rooms against any of these dates until a schedule and a venue are published. A separate related item on the same source refers to a VND 160 billion Grand Championship in Ha Long Bay as part of USOP's 2026 plans, but that is a different event and should not be read as this festival's guarantee.
We have not published a tournament record for the relocated event, because a record needs a start date and there is no agreed one. When a schedule appears, Hanoi gains a second major November festival alongside HSOP Grinder Series III, which runs at the Grand Plaza Hotel Hanoi to 8 November.
