APT National Cup Championship, Taipei 2026
13 Nov 2026 · Red Space, Taiwan
The event that opens the Asian Poker Tour's Taipei finale, and the cheapest route into a seven-figure prize pool on the 2026 Asian calendar. Listed on the APT's own schedule as event #1001, the National Cup Championship carries a TWD 20,000,000 guarantee for a TWD 16,000 buy-in, with Flight A starting at 11:00 on Friday 13 November 2026 and a turbo Flight B at 20:00 the same evening.
The schedule also lists satellites into it — one at a TWD 3,300 buy-in guaranteeing ten seats — so the effective cost of entry is lower again for players willing to qualify.
This is a flight-based event within the wider APT Championship festival, which runs 13 to 29 November across 209 events at Red Space in central Taipei.
