In May 2026, London will host the World Team Table Tennis Championships (WTTTC26) welcoming more than 500 players from around the world to compete in 10 days of competition at the OVO Arena, Wembley.
What makes 2026 particularly special is that the Championships will celebrate the centenary of the International Table Tennis Federation; table tennis was born in London in 1926. With that in mind, our ambition is to deliver an inspirational, accessible, and inclusive Championships.
We want the OVO Arena, Wembley to be rocking through the exhilaration of world class table tennis and a memorable atmosphere generated by 30,000+ fans. We aim to increase awareness and visibility with more eyeballs, more broadcast and more people talking about table tennis.
Through the Championships, we want to inspire a new generation of players, volunteers, and fans. We plan to flood the country with tables, creating social change and lasting community impact, where lives are enhanced through the power of table tennis.
To support delivery of a successful Championships, we have created a Event Delivery Board to provide oversight and direction to the development, planning and staging of WTTTC26. We are now seeking interest from those willing to contribute their time, skills and expertise in the following areas to help us achieve our ambitions:
- Athlete experience
- Fan journey
- Commercial
- Marketing and communication
- Community engagement and social impact
