Major League Table Tennis announces partnership with Graton Resort & Casino27 May 2026(PRESS RELEASE) -- Major League Table Tennis, the first professional table tennis league in the United States, announced a new league-level partnership with Graton Resort & Casino following the league’s record-breaking 2025–26 season. The partnership will officially begin with the 2026–27 season, which gets underway this September. The partnership follows a breakout 2025–26 campaign for MLTT, which saw record growth across ticket sales, sponsorship revenue, digital engagement, and global reach, capped by a sold-out MLTT Championship Weekend in the Bay Area in April. The league generated 76 million video views during the season, grew its social following by 458% year over year, and expanded its fan community to more than 100 countries worldwide. As part of the agreement, Graton Resort & Casino will become an Official League-Level Partner of MLTT and receive integrated brand exposure across the league’s national platform, including TV-visible signage at events and branding across national MLTT broadcasts and Table Tennis TV. “This partnership represents another major milestone for MLTT and a strong indicator of where the league is headed entering the 2026–27 season,” said Flint Lane, Founder and Commissioner of Major League Table Tennis. “Graton Resort & Casino is an ideal partner as we continue building a nationally visible sports and entertainment property with growing commercial momentum. Following the success of Championship Weekend in the Bay Area, we are excited to deepen our presence in Northern California alongside a premier destination brand.” The partnership also extends locally to the Bay Area Blasters, with Graton Resort & Casino becoming the team’s Exclusive Casino Resort and exclusive Front-of-Jersey partner beginning with the 2026–27 season. “MLTT is quickly establishing itself as a dynamic and fast-growing professional league with strong national reach,” said Jeremy Weinstein, Chief Marketing Officer at Graton Resort & Casino. “This partnership allows us to connect with a passionate and expanding fan base while bringing unique, world-class table tennis experiences directly to our property.” Located in Sonoma County, Graton Resort & Casino is one of Northern California’s premier entertainment destinations, offering world-class gaming, dining, and hospitality experiences. The partnership further strengthens MLTT’s growing footprint in the Bay Area following the successful championship event in Fremont and continued momentum surrounding the Blasters franchise. Through the collaboration, MLTT will host player appearances, VIP experiences, and on-property events at Graton Resort & Casino, bringing professional table tennis directly to guests and creating new opportunities for fan engagement throughout the season. This month, Graton Resort & Casino will debut a major expansion introducing new dining, entertainment, and gaming experiences to Northern California, including the property’s first rooftop restaurant, a dynamic sports bar, and a new 144,000-square-foot gaming floor. |
