REVIEW
Table Tennis TV is the lone Fire app for a sport that already streams itself.
A free, single-developer Fire TV channel built around a niche the major sports apps refuse to cover — useful precisely because nobody else bothered to ship it.
BY THE APP COMRADE DESK · MAY 11, 2026 · 3 MIN READ
Fire TV’s sports section is a wall of major-league logos. ESPN, Prime Video’s NFL and tennis carriage, DAZN where the region allows it, the league apps. What it isn’t is a place to watch table tennis — a sport with billions of casual viewers worldwide and almost no big-screen app footprint outside of YouTube.
Table Tennis TV is one person’s answer to that gap. Mark Adkins ships a free Fire TV channel app that puts the sport behind a tile on the home screen instead of three layers deep in the YouTube app. It is not a federation product, it is not subscription-funded, and it does not pretend to be more than a viewer for a niche the bigger platforms ignore.
That’s a fair tradeoff. The ceiling on a one-developer indie sports app is what it always is — depth, updates, scheduling, longevity — but the floor is that nothing else on Fire TV does this at all.
Table tennis is one of the most-watched sports on earth and one of the worst-served on big-screen apps; this fills a gap nothing else does.
FEATURES
Table Tennis TV is a Fire TV channel app from indie developer Mark Adkins, organised around long-form table tennis video on the living-room screen. The Fire listing is free with no in-app purchases — there's no subscription wall, no account creation gate, no ad-supported tier flagged in the store metadata. You open the app, you browse a video grid, you play.
The app's reason to exist is platform fit. Table tennis lives across YouTube channels (World Table Tennis, ITTF, federation uploads, coaching channels), a handful of streaming partners, and the occasional cable carriage in Europe and Asia. None of those surfaces are a Fire TV app. Putting the sport behind a single tile on the home screen is most of what's on offer here.
Outside of browsing and playback, there is no social layer, no schedule, no live notification system, and no apparent paid tier. This is a curated viewer, not a federation product.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The single best thing about this app is that it exists at all. Fire TV's sports shelf is dominated by the same five or six apps every other platform carries — ESPN, Prime Video sports, DAZN in some regions, the major league apps — and table tennis sits well outside any of them. A small indie release that consolidates the sport's video into a TV-shaped viewer is exactly the kind of long-tail Fire TV is supposed to be good for.
Free with no in-app purchases is the right call for a niche of this size. Asking even a modest subscription for a single-sport viewer the major federations don't endorse would be the wrong shape.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
Without a developer-supplied description in the store listing and without a deep update history, the app reads as one person's curation project rather than an official federation product. That ceiling is real: there's no guarantee any specific tournament, match, or commentary feed will be there next week, and there's no editorial or scheduling layer to tell you what's coming. Discovery inside the app is whatever the grid happens to show.
A Fire-only release also means iOS, Android, Roku, and the Samsung / LG TV platforms get nothing. For a sport whose audience skews international and mobile, leaving every non-Fire device out is a significant constraint.
CONCLUSION
Table Tennis TV is the right kind of small. If you already watch the sport on YouTube and want it one click away on the TV, install it — the cost is zero and the alternative is the YouTube app's search box. If you don't follow table tennis, nothing here will convert you. Watch for whether Adkins keeps the catalogue current; that's the only thing separating this from abandonware.
