Ultimate Table Tennis will return in July 2026 in Goa, with its seventh season based at the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium. India's premier franchise league will bring top city teams and global paddlers together for televised and digital coverage across the country.

Broadcast and league history

Star Sports Network will air every match live on television. JioHotstar will stream the fixtures, giving fans nationwide digital access. The league is organised by 11Sports Pvt. Ltd. under the Table Tennis Federation of India. It has run since 2017. Since its inception, UTT has hosted six successful seasons. It is among India's longest-running active sports leagues.

Talent mix and ambitions

Season 7 will again mix elite foreign players with leading Indians. Young domestic talent will compete shoulder to shoulder with stars. Co-promoter Vita Dani said Ultimate Table Tennis is now a key pillar in India's table tennis system and has lifted standards across levels.

She said the league has created more exposure and stronger competition. It has also built belief among Indian players. Her focus is on a world-class league for young athletes. She wants it to engage fans and support long-term growth. She linked UTT to India's Olympic medal hopes.

Since starting, UTT has completed six seasons and stayed active. It is among India's longest-running sports leagues. Veteran Achanta Sharath Kamal has led the way in many campaigns. The league has also highlighted Diya Chitale, Manav Thakkar and Manush Shah against strong international opponents.

The league has grown during a strong phase for Indian table tennis. At the most recent Olympic Games, both men's and women's teams qualified for the first time. Indian paddlers have since claimed results across events on the global circuit, adding depth to the sport.

Goa venue and upcoming auction

Season 7 will bring city-based franchises to Goa's Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium. The venue will host all ties in July 2026. Organisers expect a packed schedule of team clashes, with Indian and foreign stars meeting in a compact league window on the coast.

Details on the player auction will follow in the coming weeks. Teams are set to finalise full squads once the process ends. Organisers will then confirm the complete list of participants for Season 7, ahead of the league's return to action in Goa.
