The WPT World Championship festival returns to Wynn Las Vegas from Nov. 27 to Dec. 21, 2026, with more than 85 tournaments and over $20 million in guaranteed prize pools across 25 days.
At the center of the schedule is the $10,400 WPT World Championship, which runs from Dec. 13 to 20. This year’s event will also feature $1 million in Mystery Bounty cash and prizes added by ClubWPT Gold on top of the prize pool generated by tournament entries.
$1 Million Mystery Bounty Added to the WPT World Championship
The WPT World Championship will offer three starting flights. Players may enter once in each flight, with the final opportunity to join the field available before Day 2 begins.
The Mystery Bounty portion starts later in the tournament. Once it is active, eliminating another player gives a player the opportunity to draw for part of the $1 million in added cash and prizes.
The winner will become the newest WPT World Champion and have their name added to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup. The final six will play at a final table filmed for television.
WPT livestream coverage during the festival is scheduled from Dec. 6 through Dec. 21.
WPT Prime Championship Returns With a $5 Million Guarantee
The $1,100 WPT Prime Championship is scheduled for Dec. 5 to 12 and comes with a $5 million guaranteed prize pool.
Four starting flights lead into Day 2, when the remaining players come together in a single field and continue toward the final table. The final table will be livestreamed and filmed for television.
Super Gold Million Debuts With a $3 Million Guarantee
Another addition to the 2026 schedule is the Super Gold Million, a new ClubWPT Gold-sponsored event running from Dec. 10 to 14.
The tournament has a $400 buy-in and a $3 million guaranteed prize pool. It uses a Mystery Bounty format, with each qualifying elimination giving players a chance to draw for additional cash and prizes.
The Super Gold Million has four starting flights and allows unlimited re-entry. Its later stages and final table will be livestreamed on WPT channels.
Festival Schedule Runs From $400 to $25,800
Tournament buy-ins across the festival range from $400 to $25,800. The schedule also includes a Ladies Championship, a Seniors event, high roller tournaments and mixed games.
Players looking to qualify for larger events will have 25 satellites available at different price points, including routes into the WPT World Championship and WPT Prime Championship as well as other tournaments on the schedule.
The WPT Meet-Up Game is set for Dec. 1 at the Wynn Poker Room, with $1/$3 and $2/$5 cash games, special guests and giveaways.
Preferred hotel rates at Wynn Las Vegas will also be available to players attending the festival.
