The World Poker Tour has confirmed it will be heading to Montreal, Canada as part of its schedule for 2024.

WPT Montreal will bring three Championship events across a 14-day festival and marks the World Poker Tour's first stop in Montreal since the second half of 2019.

The WPT Montreal festival at Playground, featuring $3,500,000 CAD in guaranteed prize money, will run from May 9-22.

WPT Global, the official online poker website of the World Poker Tour, will play a large role in the WPT Montreal festival by running starting flights for the WPT500 and WPT Prime Montreal events that will qualify players for a Day 2 berth to the live arena.

All registered players can enter events via their WPTGlobal.com account.

Headlining the tournament schedule is the WPT Montreal Championship with a guaranteed prize pool of $2,000,000 CAD, which is scheduled to take place on May 16-20.

“It is a tremendous success to have a Playground festival back on the WPT schedule,” said WPT CEO Adam Pliska.

"We look forward to returning to Canada and have a lot in store with events spanning multiple World Poker Tour levels."

If you are yet to register with this popular poker room, which is available in many countries around the world, you can claim up to $1200 welcome bonus by using the WPT Global poker code NEWBONUS when registering a new account.

Satellites are available through to May, giving you the chance to win your way into all three marquee events. Additionally, ClubWPT will send three qualifiers to compete in the $3,500 CAD Championship event.

“We're buzzing with excitement as WPT Montreal returns to Playground! It's more than just a tournament; it's where history is made,” said Phil Sabbah, Playground CEO.

Along with the WPT Champions Cup, another perpetual trophy will be presented at the renowned Kahnawake poker club, located just outside Montreal, the WPT Prime Cup. A $1,150 CAD WPT Prime Montreal Championship event will take place May 12-17 with a $1,000,000 CAD guarantee.

Both the WPT Prime Montreal Championship and WPT Montreal Championship will be spotlighted with a televised final table on May 21 and May 22, respectively. The final-table action will also be live streaming on the WPT YouTube and Twitch channels.

Another eye-catching event on the festival schedule is a WPT500 Championship event from May 9-13.
