The BWF Para-Badminton World Championships (formerly known as the IBAD Para-Badminton World Championships) is a badminton tournament organised by the Badminton World Federation. It's the most prestigious badminton competition, offering the most ranking points, along with the Summer Paralympics badminton events introduced in 2020. The highest ranked para-badminton players compete in six sport classes [1] in five categories. The championships were organised under the Para Badminton World Federation (PBWF) before it merged with the BWF in June 2011. [2]
