The 2026 BWF World Tour (officially known as the 2026 HSBC BWF World Tour for sponsorship reasons) is the 9th season of the BWF World Tour of badminton, a circuit of 29 tournaments leading up to the World Tour Finals. [1] The 30 tournaments are divided into five levels: Level 1, the World Tour Finals; Level 2, Super 1000 (4 tournaments); Level 3, Super 750 (6 tournaments); Level 4, Super 500 (9 tournaments); and Level 5, Super 300 (10 tournaments). Each of these tournaments offers different ranking points and prize money. The highest points and prize pools are offered at the Super 1000 level (including the World Tour Finals).
Another tournament category, the BWF Tour Super 100 (level 6), also offers BWF World Tour ranking points. This category also serves as an important pathway and entry point for players to the BWF World Tour. BWF has announced that there will be ten tournaments for the BWF Tour Super 100 in 2025.
