Bay Area Blasters secure permanent home venue in Fremont for 2026-27
The Bay Area Blasters now have a fixed home at Table Tennis America in Fremont, turning MLTT’s Bay Area stop into a year-round base.
Major League Table Tennis is trying to turn the Bay Area from a strong market into a permanent one. The league and Table Tennis America announced that the Bay Area Blasters will play all of their home matches at the Fremont club during the 2026-27 season, a move that gives the franchise a dedicated home venue and gives MLTT a more durable footprint in one of the sport’s deepest regions.
The Blasters will now call Table Tennis America home at 42670 Albrae St. in Fremont, where the facility describes itself as a full-service table tennis center offering lessons and open play for all ages and levels. For MLTT, the shift is more than a scheduling note. It is an attempt to move beyond one-off events and build something that looks and feels like a real sports property, with a stable base for fans, players and sponsors.
That logic was reinforced by Championship Weekend at Table Tennis America on April 18-19, 2026, when MLTT said the event sold out and brought the league’s top four teams to Fremont to compete for the MLTT Cup. The league used that weekend as proof that the Bay Area can support premium professional table tennis, and the new Blasters home deal extends that idea into a full season rather than a single showcase.
The partnership also fits MLTT’s broader push to establish legitimacy quickly. The league says it was founded in 2023 by Flint Lane and launched with more than $250,000 in prize money. The Bay Area Blasters, one of MLTT’s original teams from 2023, have already been tied to recognizable names such as Ma Jinbao and Lily Zhang, giving the club a player identity that can be reinforced by a fixed venue and a more predictable home schedule.
For Table Tennis America, the agreement formalizes a role it has been building for years. Co-founder Danny Leung has said he started the club in 2015 with Hailong Shen, and the Fremont site has become part of a broader Northern California table tennis network that includes Fremont Table Tennis Academy, Bay Area Table Tennis School League programs in local schools, and major regional competition. USA Table Tennis said the 2025 Pacific Regional Championships in nearby Milpitas drew more than 275 participants, evidence of a serious player base rather than a passing novelty.
MLTT’s Bay Area move is really about infrastructure. A permanent home in Fremont gives the Blasters a place to build habit, identity and local demand, while giving the league a cleaner expansion model for the next stage of its growth.
