The women's team table tennis event was part of the table tennis programme at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The event took place from 1 August to 5 August 2021 at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.

Format

[edit]

Teams were made up of three players. Each team match was made up of five individual matches and ended when either side has won three matches. The order of a team match was changed as follows: a doubles match, two singles matches, and if neither side had won three matches by this point, a maximum of two extra singles matches were played.[1] The new order avoids any players playing two matches in succession, and forces players who play two singles to compete in the second individual match.
