World Table Tennis (WTT), in collaboration with the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), has announced two major broadcast agreements covering the United States and France, significantly strengthening the sport’s international media footprint and accelerating access to elite table tennis through free-to-view platforms.
In the United States, WTT and ITTF have secured a new broadcast partnership with FanDuel TV, delivering a comprehensive calendar of WTT and ITTF events to fans nationwide throughout 2026. The agreement will see all content made available free of charge across FanDuel TV’s FAST (Free Ad Supported Streaming Television) channels and its streaming services, removing subscription barriers in one of the world’s most competitive sports media markets.
Across the 2026 season, FanDuel TV will broadcast WTT’s flagship properties, including WTT Grand Smash events, WTT Champions, WTT Star Contender tournaments, and the season-ending WTT Finals. The schedule will be complemented by major ITTF events such as the ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals, the ITTF Singles World Cup, and the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup, offering U.S. audiences consistent, year-round access to the sport’s highest level of competition.
Coverage will be available on FanDuel’s FAST channel, FanDuel TV Extra, and its OTT service FanDuel TV+. FanDuel TV Extra is distributed across leading free streaming platforms, including The Roku Channel, Prime Video, Samsung TV Plus, Pluto TV, Tubi, Xumo Play, Vizio WatchFree+, Sling Freestream, and Plex. FanDuel TV+ is free to access with a FanDuel account and is available on Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and Android TV devices.
Alongside the U.S. deal, WTT and ITTF have also confirmed a three-year media rights partnership with L’Équipe, running from 2026 to 2028. The agreement brings the full WTT season to French-speaking audiences via free-to-air television and digital platforms.
Under the terms of the partnership, L’Équipe will deliver exclusive French-language coverage across France, the French Overseas Territories, Andorra, Monaco, and Mauritius, ensuring consistent season-long exposure for WTT events within a mature and influential sports media ecosystem.
Together, the U.S. and French broadcast agreements reflect WTT’s evolving distribution strategy, centred on free access, mainstream platforms, and sustained visibility. By prioritising reach and accessibility in key markets, WTT and the ITTF are positioning table tennis for long-term audience growth and stronger commercial relevance on the global stage.
