FREMONT, Calif. — Major League Table Tennis will stage its 2026 Championship Weekend in the Bay Area, with the league’s top four teams competing for the MLTT Cup on April 18–19 at Table Tennis America.
The two-day, winner-take-all event presented by BetOnline will cap a season that has marked a significant rise for professional table tennis in the United States, as MLTT continues to build momentum through live events and digital growth.

We’re excited to bring our top teams to Fremont and deliver a championship experience worthy of the momentum MLTT has built this season.”
