Will you play in the World Poker Tour in 2024?

Have you got WSOP FOMO after the World Championship event last month? Now is your chance to plan your live poker stops in 2025. 

The first half of the World Poker Tour season has been confirmed with events in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia between now and May.

Cambodia is the first stop in 2025 and Oklahoma is the last one on the current schedule. European players looking for a short getaway should look at the WPT Prime Cyprus event in Kyrenia in March. 

“With the arrival of the new year, we look ahead to the 23rd season of the World Poker Tour,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska. “Poker players, globally, can mark their calendars for some amazing WPT festivals to come in the first half of 2025.”
