Station Poker Classic in Regina is mid-March's must-attend event.
Late March features the WSOP Circuit at Playground with exciting guarantees.
Ontario and Vancouver offer consistent local poker schedules all month.

March is one of those months that quietly matters for live poker players in Canada. It is not peak summer festival season and it is not the holiday slowdown either. It is the stretch where you can put in real volume, choose spots with manageable travel, and build momentum before the bigger spring runs kick in.

This month’s map is fairly clear. Regina gives Western and Prairie players a proper mid month festival anchor. Ontario keeps the weekly grind moving with predictable local options. Québec starts to heat up late in the month when Playground rolls into WSOP Circuit action with posted guarantees that make trip planning easier.

Here's a complete guide for the live circuit in Canada for March 2026.

Prairie Stop of the Month: Station Poker Classic in Regina

If you want one defined festival stop in the middle of March without overcomplicating the travel plan, the Station Poker Classic at Casino Regina is the obvious starting point. The series runs across five days and builds up step by step, which makes it useful for different bankroll sizes and trip lengths.

Date	Venue	Event	Guarantee & Buy-In
Mar 17	Casino Regina	NLHE Re-Entry Turbo	$450 + $5
Mar 18	Casino Regina	NLHE Re-Entry	$710 + $9

Mar 21	Casino Regina	NLHE Re-Entry (final day)	$1,610 + $190

Late-Month Trip Pick: WSOP Circuit at Playground

For players planning one bigger trip in March, Playground is the late month destination that stands out most. The WSOP Circuit stop begins on March 23, and unlike many weekly room schedules, this one puts meaningful guarantees on the board early.

Low-Travel March Poker: Ontario’s Steady Room Schedule

Not every March poker goal needs a flight and a hotel. If your plan is to stay closer to home and build live reps, Ontario’s room ecosystem remains one of the better places in Canada to do it.

Pickering Casino Resort

Pickering’s March schedule is useful because it repeats familiar formats at steady price points. That makes it easier to decide where to take shots and where to use lower buy in events as volume days.

Date	Venue	Event	Guarantee
Mar 3	Pickering Casino Resort	Two $200 Turbo	$200
Mar 5	Pickering Casino Resort	NLH	$575
Mar 12	Pickering Casino Resort	Bounty	$575
Mar 17	Pickering Casino Resort	Two $200 Turbo	$200
Mar 19	Pickering Casino Resort	NLH	$575
Mar 26	Pickering Casino Resort	NLH Deep Stack	$750
Mar 31	Pickering Casino Resort	Two $200 Turbo	$200

Niagara Falls

Casino Niagara fits a similar role, but with a very clear weekly rhythm. The posted calendar shows recurring Wednesday and Sunday no limit hold’em events through the month, both starting at 12:30 p.m.

Date	Venue	Event	Guarantee
Sundays (Mar 1/8/15/22)	Casino Niagara	NLH (12:30pm)	$400
Wednesdays (Mar 4/11/18/25)	Casino Niagara	NLH (12:30pm)	$300

Vancouver-Area Weekly Option: River Rock

For Vancouver area players, River Rock remains a dependable answer if the question is simple: where can I get a regular live tournament in without turning it into a major production. The room posts a standing Sunday tournament, Superstack Sundays, with a $200 buy in and a noon start.
