Steve Dainton, ITTF and WTT chief executive, has said: "Migu has been an incredible partner in helping WTT reshape the way table tennis is seen, streamed, and celebrated in China.
"Their energy and commitment to digital innovation have matched our ambition from the start. With this long-term deal, we’re unlocking a future of deeper fan connection and non-stop global competition."
Table tennis is among the most popular sports in China due to the country’s levels of success, having won five gold medals and one silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
