Clubs Invited to Bid for 2026 USATT State Series

USA Table Tennis is opening the bid process for USATT-affiliated clubs to host the 2026 USATT State Series. Following a solid year of events across the country in 2025, USATT is excited to welcome more clubs to be a part of these very important events.

The structure for 2026 series remains the same as 2025, and all clubs are welcome to submit bids to host either a State Open or a State Championship (Closed) in their state. The State Series continues to be one of USATT’s biggest grassroots programs. It gives players local opportunities to compete, helps clubs grow participation, and builds a more active table tennis community in each state.

Clubs that are interested in hosting should consider the following:

• Hosting a State Open or State Championships helps raise the visibility of your club
• USATT provides marketing support, templates, and guidance
• The structure from 2025 remains the same for 2026
• States may host one State Open and/or one State Championship (Closed)

To grow table tennis across the US, USATT’s goal is to have an official State Series event in every state, offering players an opportunity to compete locally but participate in a national series.

Applications are now open at 2026 USATT State Series – Fill out form

For any questions on the USATT State Series, please contact Vlad Farcas at vlad.farcas@usatt.org. All bids must be received by Friday, December 19th.
