Badminton calendar 2027: Malaysia Open in January, All England in March, Sudirman Cup in Beijing

The BWF published the World Tour calendar for 2027 and 2028 on 30 June 2026. The 2027 season opens at home again: the Malaysia Open, a Super 1000 event, runs from 21 to 31 January in Kuala Lumpur. Like the other Super 1000 events in 2027, it now spans 11 days.

• Malaysia Open, Kuala Lumpur (Super 1000): 21–31 January
• India Open, New Delhi (Super 750): 2–7 February
• Indonesia Masters, Jakarta (Super 500): 9–14 February
• All England Open, Birmingham (Super 1000): 4–14 March
• Sudirman Cup, the mixed team world championships, Beijing: 21 April–2 May
• Indonesia Open, Jakarta (Super 1000): 27 May–6 June
• Malaysia Masters, Kuala Lumpur (Super 500): 17–22 August
• Malaysia Super 100 (venue to be confirmed): 19–24 October
• BWF World Tour Finals (host to be confirmed): 1–5 December

The Malaysia Masters moves from May, where it was played in 2026 (19–24 May), to August. The Sudirman Cup in Beijing grows to 24 teams over 12 days.

The biggest change is the scoring. From 2027 the BWF uses the 3x15 system: matches stay best of three games, but a game is played to 15 points. At 14–14 play goes on until one side leads by two, up to a maximum of 21; at 20–20 the next point wins the game.

The hosts of the 2027 BWF World Championships and of the 2028 Thomas and Uber Cup Finals had not been named when the BWF confirmed Beijing for the Sudirman Cup on 14 October 2026; the BWF said they would be announced later. We will add them to the calendar once they are official.
