Ultimate Table Tennis: Goa to host seventh season of UTT

The Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium will host the tournament in July.

The sun, sand, and spectacle of Goa will soon set the stage for Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT), as India’s premier franchise-based table tennis league arrives on the coast for its landmark seventh season.

City-based franchises and some of the world’s finest paddlers will descend on the Goan shores, turning the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium into a vibrant arena of smash, spin, and world-class competition from July 2026.

Fans across the country will be able to follow every clash live, with Star Sports Network broadcasting the league on television while JioHotstar streams the matches digitally, ensuring nationwide access to the high-octane competition.

Season 7 promises another showcase of elite global talent alongside India’s best paddlers, continuing the league’s role as a platform where international stars and emerging Indian athletes compete shoulder to shoulder.

Speaking about the upcoming season, UTT co-promoter Vita Dani said, “Ultimate Table Tennis has steadily become a key pillar in India’s table tennis ecosystem. Over the years, we’ve seen the standard of the sport rise across every level, from grassroots programmes to international competition.

“The league has created more exposure, stronger competition, and greater belief among Indian players. Our focus remains on building a world-class league that inspires young athletes, engages fans, and supports the long-term development of the sport.

“With the progress Indian table tennis has made recently, we are hopeful that initiatives like UTT can continue to contribute towards the larger vision of bringing India an Olympic medal in table tennis.”

Since its inception, UTT has hosted six successful seasons, establishing itself as one of India’s longest-running active sports leagues.

The competition has seen legendary players like Achanta Sharath Kamal continue to lead from the front, while also providing a stage for the next generation of Indian stars—including Diya Chitale, Manav Thakkar, and Manush Shah—to grow and compete against some of the world’s best.

UTT has coincided with a period of rapid progress for Indian table tennis. At the most recent Olympic Games, both the Indian men’s and women’s teams qualified for the first time, while Indian paddlers have since continued to make their mark across international events on the global circuit.

Details regarding the player auction and the full roster of participants for Season 7 will be announced in the coming weeks.
