Two new Sunday tournaments just landed on WPT Global. Both are called Grand Prix Europe Opener, both fire at 7:05pm CET, and both come built for grinders: a $22 entry playing to a $3,000 guarantee, and a $220 version carrying a $7,500 pool. Each hands out a 200 big-blind starting stack, with ten-minute levels in the cheaper flight and twelve-minute levels up top, and satellites are already running into the bigger one for $22.
They are the latest additions to a tournament schedule WPT Global has been quietly rebuilding all year — and the bigger story is everything that fills the hours in between.
Daily Crown turns the lobby into a 24-hour grind
Since early 2026 WPT Global has dropped more than two dozen Daily Crown tournaments into the daily calendar, most of them firing at five past the hour with buy-ins from $3.30 up to $110. A typical weekday runs the gamut: a $55 Lucky Mystery Bounty with a $25,000 pool, a $25 Night Relay guaranteeing $15,000, a $110 Big Special at $10,000, and a string of $15 Main Events and micro closers to mop up the late hours.
That clock-around structure is the part worth flagging for players in Asia. Five-past-the-hour scheduling means there is almost always a fresh tournament starting whatever your time zone, and the affordable buy-ins suit the recreational grinder far better than a thin schedule built around European prime time alone.
Why WPT Global keeps showing up on Asian screens
The room has leaned into the region before — its WPT Asia Mystery Millions weekly bounty was an earlier swing at the same audience — and the steadily climbing entry numbers suggest the volume play is working. Stack the new Sunday majors on top of the Daily Crown spread and WPT Global now reads as one of the deeper international tournament lobbies going, rather than a site you visit once a week for a marquee event.

The Europe Opener branding aside, the message is simple: WPT Global wants you logged in every day, not just on Sundays.
