Ahmedabad will host Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT), India’s premier table tennis league, for the first time as Season 6 is set to take place from the 29th of May to the 15th of June, 2025. The tournament will bring top Indian and international table tennis players to the city, further solidifying Ahmedabad’s status as a growing sports hub.
The league will feature eight teams, with defending champions Goa Challengers aiming for a historic third title. Matches will be held at EKA Arena, which has previously hosted major events like the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup and the 2019 Intercontinental Cup (football).
Ahmedabad’s sporting infrastructure continues to expand, with aspirations to host global events like the 2030 Youth Olympics and the 2036 Olympic Games. UTT’s arrival marks another milestone in the city’s journey towards becoming a premier sporting destination.
Launched in 2017 under the aegis of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), UTT has significantly contributed to the sport’s growth in India. The league’s format blends emerging Indian talent with top international players, raising the standard of competition.
“One of our key goals with UTT has been to take the sport to newer venues and cultivate a wider audience for table tennis in India. Ahmedabad and Gujarat are rapidly emerging as strong hubs…,” said UTT co-promoters Niraj Bajaj and Vita Dani.
The league format will have eight teams divided into two groups of four, with each team playing five ties in the league stage. The top four will advance to the knockout rounds, culminating in the grand finale on June 15. Each team will have six players, including two international stars, competing in five matches per tie, comprising women’s singles, men’s singles, and mixed doubles.
