Nine Senior 4* events are on the calendar for the 2026/27 season – and there are still three more to enter this season.

The calendar for next season will see Senior 4*s held in Liverpool in August and Sussex in September, with 2027 events in Cleveland in January and Nottingham in March.

Two dates in March and July, organised by Match Point Academy, are in the process of being confirmed, and there are also due to be Satellite 4*s in Cardiff in December and in Jersey and Wrexham in March and May 2027.

With entries still being taken for this season in Cleveland next month, Nottingham in June and Grantham in July, it all adds up to more choice than ever for senior Compete Plus members.

Senior 4*s have proved popular so far – the inaugural one in Cleveland attracted 82 competitors, the first one in Nottingham had 135 and the Sussex event in September 2025 saw 176 compete.

The case study on this page shares key information about how the organisers in Sussex went about ensuring a successful event, plus how Table Tennis England can help other prospective organisers to follow their blueprint – including direct financial support.

Neil Rogers, Head of Competition & Events, said: “It is fantastic to see the Senior 4* event format embed itself in the calendar in year two of delivery – and in the menu of opportunities for organisers and for players.

“We have now established a strong series of events, with nine competitions in a broadly consistent format on the calendar for season 26/27. This exceeds the number of the former ‘Grand Prix’ format and demonstrates the interest in this level of event in the senior age-group.

“Table Tennis England is grateful to the table tennis community for supporting this activity – and especially to the new organisers who have grasped the opportunity.”
