Visit Wichita and Wichita State University will host a Major League Table Tennis event in Wichita for the first time April 5–7, 2024, at Charles Koch Arena on the campus of Wichita State University.
MLTT features players representing 40 countries. They compete in a team format that concludes with the Golden Game, a race to 21 points where every member of each five-person team rotates every four points. Wichita is hosting the league’s West Division.
“Major League Table Tennis represents the best table tennis players in the world and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to welcome them and their fans to our vibrant city,” said Josh Howell, vice president of sports development at Visit Wichita. “We are confident Wichita State and Charles Koch Arena will prove to be an ideal venue, making it a memorable experience for all.”
Players in the West Division will compete in Wichita in their final event before the championship weekend, April 27–28, at Gentile Arena in Chicago, where the top four teams will be competing for the MLTT Cup and $100,000 in prize money.
“The first half of our season has been a tremendous success, exceeding our expectations in terms of player performance and fan engagement,” said MLTT Commissioner Flint Lane. “As we enter the second half of the season, we’re excited to build on this momentum and continue to deliver high-quality, competitive table tennis to our growing fan base. We can’t wait to meet the players, fans and families in Wichita to close out our regular season.”
