The British League was started in 1978. It is operated by a small committee of dedicated volunteers on behalf of Table Tennis England. The senior competition came first, which has continued to grow year on year and is now considered by many to be the premier competition of English Table Tennis. Dedicated Junior, Veterans' and Women's competitions were launched to further support the growth of top class table tennis in the UK.

Bribar are the official ball supplier to the league; and are the official equipment providers for the juniors, veterans' and women's league.
