ITTF Publishes Week 8 World and Para Ranking Updates Mid‑February 2026

The International Table Tennis Federation published its Week 8 ranking updates during the week of 16–18 February 2026, releasing the ITTF Table Tennis World Ranking / Youth Ranking (Week 8) alongside the ITTF World Para Ranking (Week 8). The ITTF World Para Ranking entry carries the label "2026 Week 8 – 18th February 2026," tying the update to that date.

The federation amplified the Week 8 release on its social channels with the post "The Week 8 #ITTFWorldRankings are here!" and a follow-up list reading "Check out this week's rankings for senior and youth levels:" and naming the published categories as Men's Singles, Women's Singles, U19 Boys' Singles and U19 Girls' Singles. The post also included the hashtags "#ITTF #TableTennis #PingPong #100YearsOfTableTennis" and the captured engagement figures show 68 reactions and 11 shares in the snapshot provided.

Para‑ranking context and governance are explicit in the IPTTC capture. "As of 2025, the new ranking will be published weekly in the ITTF website," the PTT Ranking List text states, and it directs readers that "You can also check the ranking regulations in the ITTF Para table tennis webpage." The IPTTC material also preserves administrative guidance: "For any questions or for reporting errors please contact Ranking Manager by e-mail." Historical ranking archives are indexed in two ranges on the PTT page: from 1997 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2024.

The ITTF World Para Ranking page ties the Week 8 release to the season‑long qualification narrative with the instruction "For the Race to the ITTF World Para Table Tennis Championships Pattaya 2026, visit this page." That call to action frames the Week 8 list as part of the ongoing Race to Pattaya standings rather than an isolated bulletin.

The sources provided do not include the Week 8 tables, player names, points or movement details; the published items named in the releases are the World/Youth lists and the World Para Ranking for Week 8. The captured materials make clear that the federation is maintaining a weekly publication cadence established in 2025 and that further detail, the full ranking tables and the Race to Pattaya standings, are available through the ITTF rankings pages and the dedicated Race to Pattaya para page referenced by the federation.
