The second event of this season's professional table tennis league has kicked off.

The 2026 KTTP President's Cup Pro Table Tennis League Series 2, hosted and organized by the Korea Table Tennis Pro League, opened Friday at the Seonseung Hall of the Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps in Mungyeong, North Gyeongsang Province.

Series 2 is the season's second pro league stage, following Series 1 held in March.

The biggest change in Series 2 is the introduction of team competition. Having featured singles and doubles play in Series 1, the pro league this time shifted to a structure centered on singles and team events.

On the opening day Friday, the first and second rounds of the men's team league were held. The race for the pro league's first-ever team title also began in earnest that day. In the team competition, six men's teams and four women's teams compete in a round-robin format to determine the champions.

The competition venue for Series 2 has also expanded beyond the Seoul metropolitan area to reach the entire country. The preliminaries and team matches will take place at the Seonseung Hall of the Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps in Mungyeong. From the 11th to the 12th, the stage moves to the Citizens' Gymnasium at Daegu Complex Sports Town, where the men's and women's individual singles finals and the team competition's final showdown will be held.

The Daegu main round is scheduled to feature the men's and women's individual singles quarterfinals and team competition on the 11th, followed by the singles semifinals and finals on the 12th.
