2025 BWF World Championships

Last Updated on June 29, 2025

The 2025 BWF World Championships (also known as the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2025 for sponsorship reasons) will be the 29th edition of the BWF World Championships, a prestigious global badminton tournament organized by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The event is scheduled to be held from August 25 to August 31, 2025, at the Adidas Arena in Paris, France. This marks the second time Paris will host the BWF World Championships, with the previous occasion being in 2010.

Host City Selection

Paris was officially awarded the hosting rights for the 2025 BWF World Championships in November 2018. The selection was part of a larger announcement by the BWF, unveiling 18 major badminton event hosts spanning from 2019 to 2025, aimed at providing long-term certainty for event organizers and participants. The Adidas Arena, a new multi-purpose indoor arena inaugurated for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, was chosen as the venue, offering a state-of-the-art setting for the championship.

Competition Format

The 2025 BWF World Championships will feature five traditional disciplines: men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles. The tournament will follow a straight knockout format, where losing a match results in elimination. All matches will be played as the best of three games, with each game contested to 21 points. A player or pair must win by at least two points, unless the score reaches 29-29, in which case the first to reach 30 points wins the game.
