After a successful first season, the Prime Table Tennis League is all set to enthral fans in the second edition. In the first season, the focus was on players from Thane District Table Tennis Association.
Ahead of the second season, the Prime Table Tennis League has inked a five-year MOU with the Maharashtra State Table Tennis Association. Now, top stars from Maharashtra will take center stage in what is expected to be a grander spectacle.
The second season of the Prime Table Tennis League will be held on April 27 and 28. The recent association with the Maharashtra Table Tennis Association should help the league reach a large set of audience.

The upcoming edition of the Prime Table Tennis league will feature eight teams, with seven players each. A total of 56 top-tier athletes have been picked by the teams through an auction, which took place on November 5, 2023.
Conceived by TTC PALAVA Club, the league’s vision is to become the ‘Pride of Bharat’ in 2-3 years. The secretary of the Thane District Table Tennis Association and Secretary General of MSTTA, Yatin Tipnis talked about his goal of taking the game across the entire state.
