The 2018 BWF World Tour, officially known as the 2018 HSBC BWF World Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the first season of the BWF World Tour of badminton, a circuit of 26 tournaments which led up to the World Tour Finals tournament. ^[1] It replaced the BWF Super Series and BWF Grand Prix, which was held from 2007 to 2017.

The tour included 27 tournaments, divided into five levels: Level 1 was the World Tour Finals, Level 2 was Super 1000 (three tournaments), Level 3 was Super 750 (five tournaments), Level 4 was Super 500 (seven tournaments), and Level 5 was Super 300 (11 tournaments). Each tournament offered different ranking points and prize money. The highest points and the largest prize pool were offered at the Super 1000 level, including the World Tour Finals.

One other category of tournament, the BWF Tour Super 100 (level 6), also offered BWF World Tour ranking points. BWF Tour Super 100 was an important part of the pathway and entry point for players into the BWF World Tour tournaments. When the 11 Level 6 grade tournaments of the BWF Tour Super 100 were included, the complete tour consisted of 38 tournaments.
