Overview

The Competition Review has established a new national competition model to enable all competitions strands to develop and thrive.

Please note that the Local/Zonal/National designations are under further review and may change for season 2025/26.

The following competitions will be delivered or supported by the Table Tennis England Competition and Events team: 

  • National Championships 
  • National Series 
  • National Leagues 
  • National Cups 

Other events will be regulated and structured by TTE, and delivered and supported by the TTE community. 

  • U11 & U13 National Championships to become Open events for all ages from U10 to U13 inclusive. This happened in season 23/24
  • Creation of a new four-date National Series for top U13, U15 & U19 boys and girls – a regular high-quality competitive opportunity for the top cohort in each youth age-group. This launched in season 24/25
  • Alignment of the National Club Leagues (formerly NCL/NJL and British League) as British Clubs Leagues with consistent processes and support. This alignment took place in season 24/25
  • National Championships re-grouped into different age-groups. This happened in season 24/25
  • U21 National Cup – a new event to aid retention and provide valuable competition opportunity to this priority cohort. This launched in season 24/25
  • U11/U13 Area Team Event – a new targeted team competition opportunity for priority age-groups at area level. This event will launch in season 25/26
  • 1*, 2*, 4* & Grand Prix events to sit within a new Tiered Open Tournament structure. This new structure will launch in season 25/26

 

No change was proposed to the formats of County Championships competitions (U15, U19, All Ages, Veterans and O60s) – a county representative league programme, which provides alternative and mixed-gender team units to supplement club structure, and a representative honour below national team level.
