The World Table Tennis (WTT) has announced a new broadcast partnership with DAZN, expanding the reach of its events to over 200 countries and territories. This deal encompasses coverage of WTT Champions, WTT Star Contenders, WTT Contenders, and the WTT Finals, as well as the ITTF World Table Tennis Championship Finals.
This partnership builds on recent broadcast agreements WTT has secured in Germany with Dyn and in the US with FanDuel TV. IMG, WTT’s long-term strategic partner for broadcast rights sales, facilitated the deal, stemming from a 2020 agreement.
