IndianOil UTT season 6 kicks off May 31 with double-header

IndianOil UTT Season 6 begins with a double-header on May 31 at EKA Arena, Ahmedabad.

The evening opens with Season 2 champions Dabang Delhi TTC taking on Sreeja Akula-led Jaipur Patriots in the ceremonial match, followed by a primetime clash between defending champions Dempo Goa Challengers and hosts Ahmedabad SG Pipers. Eight franchises will battle across 23 ties in what promises to be a high-voltage season.

U Mumba TT face PBG Pune Jaguars in a Maharashtra Derby on June 1, led by Bernadette Szocs and Alvaro Robles, respectively. Debutants Kolkata ThunderBlades take on Chennai Lions on June 2, featuring stars like Quadri Aruna, Adriana Diaz, Fan Siqi, and Payas Jain.

Backed by TTFI and promoted by Vita Dani and Niraj Bajaj, IndianOil UTT has become a premier global table tennis league. All matches will be broadcast live on Star Sports Khel and Star Sports Tamil, and streamed on JioCinema.

IndianOil UTT drew 20 million viewers in 2024—a 1.3x rise from the previous season. The opener between Dempo Goa Challengers and Jaipur Patriots drew 1.33 million, while the U Mumba TT vs Ahmedabad SG Pipers derby scaled to 1.83 million on TV. Across the season, the league averaged over a million viewers per match.

Season 6 picks up where it left off, including the Western Derby between Mumbai and Ahmedabad on June 2. A rematch of last year’s final—Dabang Delhi vs. Dempo Goa Challengers—is set for June 4, featuring stars like Sathiyan Gnanasekaran, Diya Chitale, Harmeet Desai, and Zeng Jian. The semifinals will be held on June 13 and 14, followed by the Grand Finale.

Each team will play five ties across the group stage, while each tie will consist of five matches—two men’s singles, two women’s singles, and one mixed doubles. After the league stage, the top four teams on the points table will progress to the knockout stage, with the semi-finals featuring Team No. 1 vs Team No. 4 and Team No. 2 vs Team No. 3. The ties will begin at 7:30 PM, with seven double-headers scheduled, where the first tie will start at 5:00 PM (17:00), followed by the second at 7:30 PM (19:30).
