The 19th Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT 19) will return in 2026, continuing its legacy as Taiwan’s most iconic and influential poker festival. Now recognized as one of Asia’s premier tournament brands, this year’s event will once again redefine the regional poker experience with unmatched scale, quality, and excitement.
Expanded Dual-Venue Experience
To accommodate the high demand for the full schedule, the 19th Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT 19) will be held across two premier venues:
Stop 1: January 22–31, 2026, at Asia Poker Arena
