Join us on  23 April 2026  to celebrate the World Table Tennis Day 2026!

The ITTF Foundation is excited to unveil the new theme for the upcoming two years: Health & Well-Being! The celebration’s theme will extend across two consecutive years (2026 & 2027), a reflection of its vital importance and lasting impact. This theme will not only inspire both editions of World Table Tennis Day but also guide the ITTF Foundation’s work and the shared vision of the entire ITTF Group family.

Health & Well-Being at the Core

Since its creation, Health & Well-Being has been a central commitment of the ITTF Foundation. Through initiatives such as TT4Health and the World Table Tennis for Health Festival, we have showcased how table tennis can change lives encouraging physical activity, enhancing mental health and strengthening social connections.

The new theme builds on this foundation and highlights the transformative power of table tennis to inspire healthier lifestyles. More than just a sport, table tennis is accessible, enjoyable and sustainable it motivates movement, fosters resilience and brings people together across all ages, abilities, and communities..

#TTMovesYou

To amplify this message, the ITTF Foundation is launching the campaign #TTMovesYou, celebrating table tennis not just as a game but as a global movement for healthier bodies and stronger minds.

World Table Tennis Day Promoters

Since its inception in 2021, the WTTD Promoters initiative has played a pivotal role in forming the whole annual event, fostering original and sustainable celebrations in collaboration with local organisations. These initiatives aim to address various community issues and bring along social values through the power of table tennis. As a supporter, the ITTF Foundation is committed to providing the Promoters with guidance and resources to organise their WTTD initiatives on April 23, through not only financial support but also through capacity-building workshops and media exposure. Until now, more than 130 World Table Tennis Day Promoters from 5 continents were chosen since 2021 to expand the celebratory vibes of World Table Tennis Day (WTTD) around the globe.

What is a WTTD Promoter?

Becoming a WTTD Promoter is more than just a title — it is an opportunity to use your voice, passion and skills to make an impact. Promoters play a vital role in organising WTTD events on 23 April bringing people together from different walks of life, celebrating diversity and fostering social values through table tennis.
