The Princeton Revolution is a professional American table tennis team based in Princeton, New Jersey. Founded in 2023, the team is one of the eight charter members of Major League Table Tennis (MLTT), competing in the league's East Division.[1] The Revolution finished as the runners-up in the inaugural 2023–24 MLTT Championship.[2]

History

The Princeton Revolution were formed in September 2023 after entrepreneur Flint Lane created Major League Table Tennis. The ownership group for the Princeton Revolution is headed by major owner Roger Kang, Andre Liu and Olympic Medalist from Germany Dimitrij Ovtcharov.[3] In November 2024, it was reported that Taiwanese star Lin Yun-ju also joined the ownership group of the franchise.[4]

It was announced in November 2024 that Taiwan superstar Lin Yun-ju would be joining the ownership group of the franchise.[2]

During their first year (the 2023-2024) in Major League Table Tennis the Princeton Revolution earned a 13-9 win/loss record and finished in second place in the East division. The Revolution went on to defeat the Bay Area Blasters in the Semifinals of the 2024 Championship Weekend in Chicago but ultimately lost to the Texas Smash in the Finals.

In the 2025-26 Season the Revolution earned the last eastern conference playoff position in the final weekend of games at Rider University; they beat out the New York Slice. [5]

Team identity

The "Revolution" name is a direct tribute to the city's role in the American Revolutionary War. The team is named in honor of the Battle of Princeton (January 3, 1777), a victory led by General George Washington that served as a turning point in the war for independence. This historical connection is further reflected in the team's primary colors of red, white, and blue, which evoke the "Spirit of '76" and the local heritage of the Princeton area.
