ETTU Opens Media Accreditation for Champions League Final 4 Events

The European Table Tennis Union has opened media accreditation for both the HYLO ETTU Champions League Men Final 4 and the ETTU Champions League Women Final 4, with the two events separated by just one week in May and held in different countries.

The men's tournament runs 16–17 May 2026 in Saarbrücken, Germany, while the women's event follows on 23–24 May 2026 in Tarnobrzeg, Poland. Both will bring together the four best teams of the season to compete for Europe's most prestigious club titles. The women's edition is notable in its own right: the original ETTU announcement describes it as the first-ever ETTU Champions League Women Final 4, making Tarnobrzeg the host city for a genuine piece of European table tennis history.

Media representatives wanting to cover either event need to submit accreditation requests through the official accreditation form on the ETTU media contact page. All applications are subject to approval. Decisions on the men's event will be communicated no later than one month before 16 May, putting the notification window around mid-April. For the women's event, applicants can expect word no later than two weeks before 23 May. ETTU has noted that further details on media operations will follow once accreditation is confirmed.

The ETTU governs table tennis across 58 member associations and is the only continental body recognized by the International Table Tennis Federation for that purpose. These Champions League Final 4s sit at the top of the club competition calendar, and the opening of media accreditation this early gives broadcasters, photographers, and journalists a reasonable runway to plan their coverage of what shapes up as the biggest club weekend on the European TT calendar.
