The WTT China Smash 2026 will be held at Shougang Park in Shijingshan District from October 1 to 11. The first round of tickets will be on sale in mid-to-late August.

The WTT China Smash is one of the flagship events in Beijing's "Dual Olympic 100" program. This year, Shijingshan District has comprehensively upgraded the venue's facilities. The renovated No. 2 Hall (formerly the Short Track Speed Skating Hall in Shougang Park) will offer spectators an enhanced game-watching experience. Security checkpoints have been moved closer to the venue, with separate north and south entrances set up to minimize queueing time and achieve quick entry and exit for spectators. Fan zones, food and beverage areas, self-service luggage storage area, and visitor service stations will also be introduced to enhance the on-site viewing experience.

The Smash Park will also feature a range of new attractions. For the first time, spectators will have access to the viewing stands at the Big Air Shougang. With one of Beijing's iconic Winter Olympic venues as a backdrop, the area will become a one-of-a-kind outdoor viewing and photo spot.

For the first round of ticket sales in mid-to-late August, new ticket packages will be introduced to better meet fans' diverse needs. A comprehensive transportation plan will also be introduced, combining free themed shuttle buses, the park's pedestrian-friendly transportation network, and discounted parking services, while improving Shougang Park's internal transportation network to solve the "last-mile" travel issue for spectators.
