What is the schedule for Asia Championship Badminton 2025?

The tournament follows a standard six-day format. Qualifying rounds begin on 8 April 2025, followed by the round of 32 on 9 April, round of 16 on 10 April, quarter-finals on 11 April, semi-finals on 12 April, and finals on 13 April (Olympics.com, the official Olympic information service).

How can I get tickets for Asia Championship Badminton 2025?
Official ticket outlets and sales timeline
Ticket details are not yet fully published, but the tournament organizer typically sells through the official tournament website or authorized platforms. Reports from Ningbo China Daily, a local English-language news outlet, indicate that the city is preparing for the event. Fans should monitor the Badminton Asia website for ticket announcements.
Pricing and seating categories
No official pricing has been released. For international attendees, it is likely that early-bird and general sales phases will be announced, with categories ranging from preliminary rounds to finals. The USD 500,000 prize pool suggests a high-profile event that may command premium pricing for the final day.
Once tickets go on sale, the real test will be how quickly finals passes sell out. For fans traveling from outside China, the lack of early pricing information creates a wait-and-see situation.
The implication is that early birds will benefit most, but international attendees face uncertainty until official channels publish.
When does the Badminton Asia Championships 2026 take place?
Announced dates and venue
The 2026 edition is scheduled for September 2026 in Chengdu, China (Wikipedia, the community-edited encyclopedia). This is a separate event from the 2025 edition in Ningbo.
Comparison with 2025 edition
While the 2025 event is in April, the 2026 edition moves to September, giving players a different preparation window. The venue shift from Ningbo to Chengdu also means fans in western China will have a chance to attend.
What this means: the change in timing and location expands access for fans across China.
