Toronto WSOP Circuit history
Great Canadian Toronto hosted the city’s first WSOP Circuit in March–April 2024 and a return series in April 2025. Those are documented historical events; TorontoPoker.org does not label a 2026 Toronto WSOP Circuit as upcoming unless the organizer or venue publishes one.

Event pages are unusually easy to get wrong because dates expire. Our calendar model uses three statuses: Current/recurring, Upcoming/verified, and Historical. A blank upcoming calendar is more trustworthy than recycling a past schedule.
Niagara tournament coverage
Wave 6 adds Casino Niagara to the verified tournament network. The room currently publishes recurring Wednesday Texas Hold’em events and a monthly Sunday tournament.
