ClubWPT has released its latest weekend tournament schedule, offering a series of cash events, VIP tournaments, and qualification opportunities for larger poker competitions. With tournaments running from Friday through Sunday, the schedule gives players multiple chances to participate in competitive events throughout the weekend.
In addition to the regular tournament lineup, the platform also highlighted progress in the ongoing March $10,000 Cash Diamond Challenge, along with new opportunities to qualify for the prestigious WPT Prime Championship.
As always, participation is subject to eligibility requirements and official platform rules.
Friday Night Tournaments Begin the Weekend
The weekend action begins on Friday, March 6, with two tournaments designed primarily for premium members.
The first event is the $1,500 Cash Diamond Exclusive, scheduled to start at 8:30 PM Eastern Time. This tournament is reserved for Diamond members and typically features smaller fields with competitive prize opportunities.
Later in the evening, players can also join the $1,500 Friday Night VIP Frenzy, beginning at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. This event is available to VIP members and provides another chance to compete for cash prizes before the weekend tournament schedule continues.
These Friday tournaments often serve as a warm-up for the larger events that follow over the weekend.
Saturday Brings Knockout and VIP Events:
The tournament schedule continues on Saturday, March 7, with two additional events.
The first is the $2,500 Diamond Cash Knockout, beginning at 6:30 PM Eastern Time. Knockout tournaments introduce an additional competitive element because players can earn rewards by eliminating opponents during gameplay.
Later that evening, the $2,000 Saturday Night VIP Special starts at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. This event gives VIP members another opportunity to participate in a structured tournament format.
Saturday tournaments are often popular among players looking for longer gameplay sessions before the larger Sunday events begin.
Sunday Features Two Major Cash Events
Sunday continues to be the centerpiece of the ClubWPT weekend schedule.
On Sunday, March 8, players can participate in two notable tournaments:
- $4,000 Sunday Funday VIP Cash Giveaway — 4:00 PM ET
- $5,000 Cash Diamond Double Stack — 4:00 PM ET
The Sunday Funday event has become one of the platform’s regular weekly highlights, attracting players who want to compete for cash prizes at the end of the weekend.
At the same time, Diamond members can participate in the Cash Diamond Double Stack, which typically features deeper starting stacks and longer gameplay structures.
Daylight Saving Time Reminder:
This weekend’s tournaments also arrive just as Daylight Saving Time begins in many parts of North America.
For players located in regions that observe the time change, tournament start times may effectively arrive one hour earlier than usual.
Players should check the tournament lobby to confirm the exact start time in their local time zone before joining events.
Diamond Challenge Progress Update:
ClubWPT also provided an update on the ongoing March $10,000 Cash Diamond Challenge.
So far:
- 40 seats have already been awarded
- 360 seats remain available
The tournament final will feature 400 total players, with satellites running five times each week to distribute qualifying seats.
The final event later this month will award $2,500 in cash to first place, with additional prizes distributed to other top finishers.
WPT Prime Championship Qualifier Opportunity:
Players interested in live tournament opportunities also have another path available through the Super SATurdays qualifier.
This week’s qualifier takes place on Saturday at 7:00 PM Eastern Time and will award five seats to the upcoming WPT Prime Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
The WPT Prime Championship has become one of the most prominent tournaments in the poker calendar. Last year’s event generated a $9.5 million prize pool, with champion Aaron Johnson earning more than $1 million.
Qualifiers like Super SATurdays provide players with a pathway toward major live events.
Player of the Year Competition Starting Soon:
Another major development mentioned in the announcement is the upcoming ClubWPT 2026 Player of the Year Competition.
The POY season begins March 15 with the $4,000 Sunday Funday VIP Cash Giveaway.
Across the season:
- 24 tournaments will award leaderboard points
- 34 prizes worth more than $27,500 will be awarded
- The overall champion will receive a $12,000 WPT World Championship Passport
Both VIP and Diamond members are eligible to participate in POY events.
