WPT® Asia Series Brings ¥100,000,000 Guaranteed Festival And First WPT® Rings Available to Win on WPT® Global

Four weeks, nine WPT® Rings, and ¥100,000,000 in guarantees for players in Asia-friendly time zones.

WPT® Global is raising the stakes for 2026 with the launch of the WPT® Asia Series, a new online festival built around Asia-friendly time zones and Ring championship events. 

From February 15 to March 15, players can battle across 100+ events with a combined ¥100,000,000, around $15M, in guarantees and a shot at the first WPT® Rings available to win on WPT® Global.

The WPT® Asia Series puts rings front and centre of the schedule.

There are five WPT® Ring Championship Events, each on a Sunday, with buy-ins and guarantees that climb as the series builds.

These five headline events are joined by four Phase-based Ring events, taking the total to nine WPT® Rings on offer. As a result, players can start their ring chase from small-stake Phase flights, qualify for the Sunday finals, and then play for career-defining scores and a piece of WPT® history.

Alongside the ring schedule, the WPT® Asia Series runs a set of weekly Mystery Bounty Main Events under the WPT® Myster¥ Millions banner.

Each week brings fresh Day 1 flights and a growing bounty pool, with all surviving players returning on Sunday with the chance to play for the biggest prizes.

Mystery Bounty formats reward both deep runs and knockout power, turning every elimination into a sweat. With multiple buy-in levels, there is a route for almost every bankroll. 

The action starts even earlier with Million Boost Week, running February 13 to 17. Across these first five days, players can fire in seven daily tournaments with buy-ins from ¥33 to ¥99, around $5 to $15, and a combined ¥10,000,000, around $1.5M, in guarantees.

Million Boost Week gives players a lower-stakes way to build bankrolls, test new formats, and get an early start on the series leaderboard.

Grinders who put in volume across the whole festival will fight for the WPT® Asia Series Player of the Series title.

Key details:

• ¥3,000,000, around $430K, in total prizes
• ¥1,000,000, around $143K, for 1st place plus the Player of the Series title
• 2,500 paid spots on the leaderboard
• Only your top 10 scoring days, UTC +0, count

Players earn points for their finishing position and can gain Early Bird bonuses for registering and playing from the start of selected events. 

That setup rewards both skill and consistent volume, not just one big score.

The WPT® Asia Series mixes:

• Traditional NLHE championships
• Mystery Bounty and bounty events
• Phase structures that let players qualify for major finals from smaller buy-ins

Schedules run on Asia-friendly time zones while remaining accessible for players joining from elsewhere.

The result is a month-long festival that gives both recreational players a clear path from small buy-ins to WPT® Rings, alongside giving regulars deep structures, strong guarantees, and a meaningful leaderboard race.

WPT® Global is building long-term online series that complement the broader WPT® ecosystem, including the WPT® live tour, while taking advantage of online flexibility.

The WPT® Asia Series brings:

• WPT® Ring prestige to a dedicated online festival
• A full month of events designed around Asia-friendly time zones
• Clear routes into major Sunday championships for a wide range of bankrolls
