APT Championship, Taipei 2026
13 – 29 Nov 2026 · Red Space, Taiwan
The Asian Poker Tour closes its twentieth-anniversary season in Taipei with the largest festival on its calendar: 209 events over 17 days, 13 to 29 November 2026, at the Red Space venue in central Taipei, run with the Chinese Texas Hold'em Poker Club. The Main Event carries a USD 5 million guarantee, the biggest the tour has advertised.
The card opens on 12 November with an industry freezeout and moves straight into the National Cup Championship, a TWD 16,000 buy-in with a TWD 20 million guarantee spread over multiple flights. The published schedule mixes no-limit hold'em with pot-limit Omaha, mixed-game and heads-up events, and a deep satellite programme feeding the headline tournaments.
Taiwan matters here because of what the venue is not. Red Space is a tournament space rather than a casino, players must be 18 or over, and local identification is accepted — so unlike Korea's foreigner-only casinos, Taiwanese residents can play the festival on home soil.
