Table Tennis Australia is excited to officially unveil the 12 women and 12 men who will compete in the inaugural TTA National Invitational, a brand-new elite event created to showcase the nation’s top-performing athletes in a thrilling four-day competition.

The groundbreaking tournament will take place from 23–26 January 2026 at the Greater Dandenong Table Tennis Association, bringing together Australia’s strongest talent for an action-packed showcase of Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

With free entry for spectators and two feature tables streamed live across all four days, the TTA National Invitational promises to deliver one of the most dynamic displays of Australian table tennis in recent memory. Table Tennis fans across the country will be able to watch the live-streamed matches, while those attending in person can witness every game unfold at close range.

CONFIRMED ATHLETES

“This year’s National Invitational is a fantastic opportunity to have all our top athletes back on home soil,” said Nicole Adamson, CEO Table Tennis Australia. “They spend much of their year travelling the world and competing under intense schedules, but this event allows us to pause and celebrate their skill, dedication, and impact on the sport. It’s also a rare chance for fans to see these athletes perform live, and they won’t be disappointed.”

Over four days, the country’s best will compete in a high-performance environment designed to elevate Australian table tennis and inspire the next generation.

“Bringing out top athletes together in one elite setting marks the start of our journey toward the LA28 Olympic Games,” said Rob Gomm[RG1] , GM Olympic Program at Table Tennis Australia. “Every athlete, coach and staff member plays a role in pushing our program to new heights. We’re united in our ambition and committed to making Australians proud.”

Beyond world-class competition, the event aims to strengthen national engagement, enhance performance pathways and provide an exciting new platform for athletes to shine. The success of events like this is made possible through the support of committed partners. We’d like acknowledge Tibhar Australia for their support and ongoing investment in the growth of the sport and our athletes.

All matches are open to the public, with free entry across all four days.
