The inaugural Open European Games of TT Hopes will take place from 18 to 21 June 2026 in Hungary, bringing together Europe’s most promising young table tennis players in the Veszprém–Balaton region. The event will be staged across Veszprém, Balatonfüred and Várpalota, areas recognized as the European Sports Region 2026.
Organized by the European Sport Region 2026 Project and supported by the Hungarian Government and local municipalities, the competition will feature U13 and U15 boys’ and girls’ singles and team events, as well as youth para competitions, with athletes competing for prizes and ETTU ranking points.
