The 2025 ITTF Mixed Team World Cup is the third edition of the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup, an international mixed-team table tennis competition organized by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), held from 30 November to 7 December 2025 in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
This marks the first Mixed Team World Cup since the mixed team event announced as an official part of the table tennis at the Summer Olympics competition program.
The ranking points for winning this Mixed Team World Cup have been increased from the previous 1,000 points to 2,500 points, distributed according to individual players' contribution based on their number of match wins.
Competition Format
The tournament format remains the same as the 2024 edition, consisting of three stages:
First Stage: Group Stage - The 16 participating teams are divided into 4 groups for round-robin play, with the top 2 teams from each group advancing to the second stage; Second Stage: Round-robin - The 8 qualified teams compete in a round-robin format, with the top 4 teams advancing to the third stage knockout phase. Teams that already met in the first stage will not meet again in the second stage, but results from the first stage are carried over; Third Stage: Knockout - The knockout stage includes semifinals and finals. The first-ranked team faces the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team faces the third-ranked team in the semifinals, with winners advancing to the final.
Each team consists of 3-4 male and 3-4 female players. Each tie is played as a "first to 8 games" system within a maximum of 15 games. The match order follows: Mixed Doubles, Women's Singles, Men's Singles, Women's Doubles/Men's Doubles, Men's Doubles/Women's Doubles. Each individual match is played best of three games, and the team that first accumulates 8 game wins wins the tie, with remaining matches not played. Players who participated in mixed doubles cannot participate in subsequent singles matches. The order of the final two doubles matches is determined before the match by the captain of the lower-ranked team, choosing whether to play men's doubles or women's doubles first.
