Twenty-four teams will advance to compete for the championship trophy. At the end of the season, the top eight teams will advance to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Eight groups of five teams competing in the team events for men and women will try to move on to the knockout round. Best-of-five singles matches determine each match, while individual matchups are best-of-five games.
A round robin format will be used, with each group’s four teams competing against one another. 24 teams proceed in total after the round robin stage, with the top three teams from each group moving on to the knockout stage.
Teams from the same group will not play each other again in the first round as the winners of each group will be seeded and the remaining teams will be drawn into the knockout stages.
South Korea will host the ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships Finals for the first time; the draw was held in the Busan e-Sports Arena last month.
