UTT season 6 set to begin on May 29 in Ahmedabad

Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT), India’s premier table tennis league, will return for Season 6 from May 29 to June 15, 2025, and will see Ahmedabad playing host for the first time.

The tournament will feature eight teams, including defending champions Goa Challengers which will look to win its historic third title.

Goa Challengers beat Dabang Delhi in the last season to win the first two seasons of the league.

The state-of-the-art EKA Arena, a venue that has staged marquee sporting events such as the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup and 2019 Intercontinental Cup (football), will host the matches of the sixth season of the UTT.

Format

Eight teams will be divided into two groups of four, with each team playing five league ties. The top four teams will advance to the knockout rounds, leading to the final on June 15.

Each team will feature six players, including two international stars, competing in five matches per tie - two women’s singles, two men’s singles, and one mixed doubles.

Kamlesh Mehta, Secretary, the Table Tennis Federation of India, said, “Ultimate Table Tennis has been instrumental in transforming the table tennis landscape in India, providing our players with an unparalleled platform to compete against top international talent. Each season, the league raises the standard of competition, contributing to the growth of the sport at both grassroots and elite levels. With its growing investment in sporting infrastructure and successful track record of hosting major events, Ahmedabad is a fitting destination for UTT Season 6. As India continues to build a strong sporting culture, bringing top-tier table tennis to new cities will further drive the sport’s reach and development.”
