2025 BWF World Senior Championships

The 2025 BWF World Senior Championships (also known as the Amazing Thailand-Pattaya BWF World Senior Championships 2025 for sponsorship reasons) is an upcoming international badminton tournament sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). This prestigious event is specifically designed for badminton players aged 35 and older, providing a platform for senior athletes to compete for world titles in various age categories.

Host City and Venue

The 12th edition of the BWF World Senior Championships will be held in Pattaya, Chonburi Province, Thailand. The primary competition venue will be the Eastern National Sports Training Centre. Pattaya was chosen after a new bidding process was initiated by the BWF in June 2024, following the withdrawal of the initially awarded host city, Auckland, New Zealand.
