WPT puts its whole December card at the Wynn — World Championship starts 13 December
The World Poker Tour's published schedule now stacks four December events into one room at Wynn Las Vegas: the $1,100 WPT Prime Championship from 5 December, a $400 ClubWPT Gold Super Gold Million on 10 December, and both the $10,400 WPT World Championship and the $1,100 WPT Ladies Championship starting 13 December. The tour has since billed the block as its Season 24 finale, with over 85 events and more than $20 million guaranteed.
The World Poker Tour's own event schedule lists its entire December programme at a single address. The $1,100 WPT Prime Championship opens the block at Wynn Las Vegas on 5 December, a $400 special event billed as the ClubWPT Gold Super Gold Million follows on 10 December, and the tour's flagship $10,400 World Championship starts on 13 December — the same day as the $1,100 WPT Ladies Championship in the same venue.
That consolidation is the story. In previous seasons the WPT's December was split between Las Vegas properties, with the Five Diamond at Bellagio as a fixture of the month; the tour's schedule page still carries no Five Diamond listing at all for December 2026.
Update, 17 October 2026
A re-read of the same schedule page found every December date, venue and buy-in unchanged — and one thing added. The tour now promotes the Wynn festival as the finale of its Season 24, with more than 85 events and over $20 million in guaranteed prizes across the series. That is the first series-level guarantee the WPT has attached to the block, and it partly answers the caveat below: the total is now published even though the individual events' guarantees are not.
What is still not published
WPT's schedule gives a start date, a venue and a buy-in for each event and little else — no end dates, no per-event guarantees and no flight structures. Anyone planning a trip around the Championship should treat the 13 December date as the start of a multi-day event whose finish has not been announced, and should check the tour's page again closer to the time.
The rest of the autumn card, as listed: WPT Australia Championship at The Star Sydney from 24 September, WPT Prime Lodge Championship near Austin from 8 October, WPT Prime Cyprus Championship at the Chamada Prestige from 15 October, WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star in San Jose from 23 October, and on 5 November both WPT Seoul at Inspire and the WPT Venetian Fall Championship. The tour then moves to NagaWorld in Phnom Penh in January 2027.
