WTT Finals Fukuoka 2024: Preview, schedule, how to watch live end-of-season table tennis action

The table tennis season comes to its conclusion this week as 16 of the season's best men's and women's singles players and top eight doubles pairings battle for the WTT Finals Fukuoka 2024 in Kitakyushu, Japan, from 20-24 November.

Over five days, the 16 players in each singles category and eight pairs in each of the doubles will aim to finish their season on a high by being crowned the 2024 Finals champion, ahead of a change to the Finals qualifying format for 2025 which will see the two doubles events replaced by mixed doubles.

Singles world number ones Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha headline the athletes taking part, with four Olympic singles medallists, Sun and Hayata Hina on the women's side and Truls Möregårdh and Félix Lebrun on the men's side, competing.

However, a number of players, including legendary former men's world number one Ma Long and both singles Olympic champions Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, have chosen to end their seasons early and withdraw from the Finals despite qualifying.

Here are some of the players to watch and how you can follow the action from this year's WTT Finals.
