Watch China Open 2024 badminton to see Olympic gold medalists Viktor Axelsen and An Se-young defend their titles at the final BWF World Tour Super 1000 event of the year in Changzhou. With the tournament now underway, below we have all the info on how to watch China Open live from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.
The China Open was always a coveted prize – all Super 1000 titles are – but an inflated prize pot tied in with a rejigged ranking points system have combined to make this one of the most fiercely contested competitions ever. Starting now, bigger prize pots mean more ranking points. As such, there’s more to be gained from reaching the last four of the China Open than winning a Super 500 event or even reaching the final of a Super 750 tournament.
It’s no surprise that all-conquering phenom An, who beat No.4 seed Akane Yamaguchi in last year’s final, entered as the top contender in the women’s singles. In the men’s draw, world No.1 Shi Yuqi may be the home hope and top seed, but Axelsen sets the standard, and he’s in sizzling form.
