The ITTF World Para Table Tennis Championships 2026 will make history when 165 male and 165 female athletes compete in Pattaya from 23-29 November, marking the first time the event has achieved complete gender equality. 

This groundbreaking milestone coincides perfectly with the ITTF’s centenary celebrations, creating what promises to be a special ITTF World Para Championships in the sport’s history. 

The ITTF World Para Championships, held every four years since 1990, have grown from modest origins to become one of sport’s most prestigious gatherings. This ninth edition promises to be the most significant yet.
