ThinkMarkets, a global multi-asset CFD broker, has confirmed the launch of Weekend League, a client trading competition built around its weekend trading offering, with further expansion of that offering in development.
Weekend League runs across four consecutive weekends, from 5 to 27 September 2026. Each weekend carries its own prize pool of 2,500 USD, giving participants a new opportunity to compete every week of the competition. Unlike formats that rank by account size, Weekend League ranks participants by percentage return on capital, meaning performance rather than account size determines the leaderboard.
Participating trades also earn 2x ThinkRewards points, redeemable for cash. Registration is open now via ThinkPortal.
The competition sits on top of a growing range of markets that ThinkMarkets clients can trade when traditional exchanges are closed. These currently include 24/7 Gold (XAUUSD247), 24/7 Silver (XAGUSD247), 24/7 Indices such as Nasdaq 100 (NAS247) and US S&P 500 (SPX247), 24/7 Commodities including Brent Crude (BRENT247) and US Crude (WTI247), cryptocurrencies priced continuously through the weekend, and synthetic indices, including the recently added WEEKEND_STORM. Continuous pricing on gold and silver closes the gap between Friday's close and Sunday's reopen, during which price-moving news has historically gone unpriced until markets resumed on Monday. Additional weekend-tradable instruments are currently in development, with further announcements to follow.

Commenting on the announcement, Nauman Anees, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, ThinkMarkets said:
“Trading has traditionally worked to a Monday-to-Friday clock, but that's not how our clients live. A lot of them only have the time to trade at the weekend, once work and other commitments ease off, and we don't think markets should be closed just because the traditional week is. Weekend League is one of the ways we're making that more exciting for clients who want to trade the weekend, with not only real prizes for the people who perform, but cashback for everyone who participates.”
