The Asian Poker Tour (APT) will mark its 20th anniversary in 2026 with a series of five major festivals across Asia. Nearly 20 years after Antanas “Tony G” Guoga captured the first-ever APT Main Event title in Singapore, the tour is set to celebrate two decades of poker excellence with events held in Jeju, Incheon, and Taipei.
The 2026 season opens with the APT Jeju Classic 2026, taking place from January 30 to February 8 at LES A Casino inside Jeju Shinhwa World. Sponsored by Natural8 and held in partnership with Landing Entertainment Korea, the ten-day festival offers KRW 4.9 billion (around USD 3.4 million) in guaranteed prize pools, featuring a KRW 2.3 million (~USD 1,600) Main Event buy-in and a KRW 2.2 billion (~USD 1.5 million) guarantee.
Next, the action moves to Taipei for the APT Taipei 2026, scheduled from April 22 to May 3. In collaboration with the Chinese Texas Hold’em Poker Club (CTP), the event will be hosted at the Red Point Center’s Red Space in central Taipei, a location that has long been one of the most popular stops on the APT calendar.
After a short summer break, the tour heads to Incheon for the APT Incheon 2026, running from August 7 to 16 at Paradise City Resort in partnership with Paradise Group. The tour then returns to Jeju for the APT Jeju 2026, set for September 25 to October 4 at Jeju Shinhwa World.
The season concludes with the APT Championship 2026, running from November 13 to 29 at Red Space in Taipei. The 17-day festival will serve as the official 20th anniversary celebration of the Asian Poker Tour.
With five stops, three key destinations, and strong regional partnerships, the APT 2026 season highlights two decades of continuous growth and dedication to Asian poker.
