2025 WTT Series

The 2025 international series of table tennis tournaments promises to be packed with excitement and top-tier competition. Throughout the season, fans will witness dozens of high-level matches featuring the world’s best players. Events will take place across the globe — from Europe to Asia — as part of the official World Table Tennis (WTT) calendar.

When and where will the 2025 international table tennis tournaments take place?

The main season will kick off in February 2025 and run through the end of autumn. Traditionally, the tournaments are split into several tiers:

WTT Grand Smash – the most prestigious events of the year
WTT Champions – elite-level competitions for top players
WTT Star Contender and Contender – platforms for rising stars and promising athletes

Among the host cities expected for 2025 are Singapore, Chengdu, Budapest, Doha, and Düsseldorf. Exact dates and venues will be released on the official WTT website, but some of the schedule is already available — stay tuned so you don’t miss any of the major events.

Participants and favorites: Who will compete for the titles?

The 2025 series will once again bring together the top players from China, Japan, Germany, South Korea, and France. Chinese athletes continue to dominate both men’s and women’s singles and are considered the frontrunners.

Key players to watch include:

Fan Zhendong and Ma Long — legends of the sport
Wang Manyu and Chen Meng — leaders of the women’s rankings
Japanese stars like Tomokazu Harimoto and Mima Ito, who are strong contenders
European veterans such as Timo Boll, Dimitrij Ovtcharov, and up-and-coming talents from Sweden and France

Thanks to the point system and tournament format, every match counts — and the race for a spot in the season-ending WTT Finals remains intense throughout the year.
