Watch BWF World Tour Badminton Finals 2024: free live stream, online, draw, schedule

The season-ending BWF World Tour Badminton Finals brings together the best players from across the globe for five days of exhilarating action. In total, just 40 players and pairs will commence battle as they attempt to win titles across five categories — men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, and mixed doubles.

In the men’s singles, reigning champion Viktor Axelsen has pulled out through injury, meaning Denmark’s Anders Antonsen is the man. The 27-year-old has won three World Tour titles this year and was crowned the European champion. He’ll face competition from the likes of world number one Shi Yuqi of China and Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia.

When it comes to the women’s singles, Olympic champion An Seyoung of South Korea will undoubtedly be one of the favorites but she finds herself in a tough group alongside breakout Chinese star Wang Zhiyi and 2022 world champion Yamaguchi Akane of Japan.

When it comes to the men’s doubles, the Danish duo of Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen are the top seeds but they will face competition from the dangerous Chinese pairing of He Jiting and Ren Xiangyu. In the women’s event, China’s Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning are the overwhelming favorites, as are Jiang Zhenbang and Wei Yaxin in the mixed doubles.
