How to watch ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals 2025 – live stream, TV channels, schedule
Is China's table tennis stranglehold (ever so slightly) slackening? Chinese athletes swept the board at the last ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals two years ago, and have won both the men's and women's singles at 10 straight editions of the tournament, dating all the way back to 2005, but Brazil's Hugo Calderano is poised to challenge that dominance. Read on and we'll explain how you can watch ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals live streams from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE. The 2025 ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals run from Saturday, May 17 to Sunday, May 25.

Having beaten Lin, Wang and then-No.3 Tomokazu Harimoto en route to World Cup glory last month, Calderano's belief will be sky-high. World No.1 Sun Yingsha leads the women's singles, sharing the same half of the draw as Wang Yidi. Their compatriots Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong have been kept apart on the opposite side of the draw. One especially fascinating collision course to keep an eye on is that of Lebrun brothers Felix and Alexis, who are doubles partners and potential single opponents. The No.6 and No.9 seeds may set up a family affair at the last 16 stage in Doha.
