Timo Boll Leads a Celebrity Team at Prime-Time Table Tennis Show
Unterföhring -- Table tennis goes prime time on December 12, 2026: "Die Promi Tischtennis WM" airs live on ProSieben from 8:15 p.m. and streams on Joyn, with Germany's most successful player, Timo Boll, leading a celebrity team.
Four teams, each led by a pro captain
The live show takes place on Saturday, December 12, at the CASTELLO Düsseldorf. Four teams compete, and each consists of a professional captain and three celebrity players. Boll, an eight-time European champion and former world No. 1, returns to the table for the event.
Hosts Panagiota Petridou and Frank Buschmann also want to show they can do more than talk: they aim to get the ball over the net, too.
Doubles matches and trick-shot challenges decide the title
The teams compete for the title in a range of disciplines, from doubles matches to trick-shot challenges. The celebrities must show their ball feel and table tennis skills on the big TV stage.
