About the World Tour

The HSBC BWF World Tour is a circuit of 26 tournaments held all around the world. These 26 tournaments are categorised as Grade 2 events in BWF’s tournament structure, below Grade 1 events such as the World Championships, Thomas Cup, Uber Cup, Sudirman Cup, etc.

The 26 tournaments on the HSBC BWF World Tour offer substantial prize money and ranking points for the players. Eight players and pairs in each of five categories (men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles) who accumulate the highest ranking points at the end of the circuit will be invited to the year-ending finale, the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals in Guangzhou, which is a Level 1 event.

Ranking points won from each World Tour event are updated on the BWF website on the Tuesday following the event.

The first edition of the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals was held in Guangzhou in December 2018. This annual season finale is the ultimate goal for all players on the circuit.
