The 2026 All England Open Badminton Championships take place in Birmingham on the weekend of March 7-8, and you can follow the finals live on the BBC.

The All England Open is the oldest badminton tournament in the world, dating back to 1899 when the first competition was held at the London Scottish Rifles Headquarters in Westminster.

It is one of four elite Super 1000 Series events on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour calendar, alongside the Malaysia, China and Indonesia Opens.

The tournament is open to the top-ranked singles and doubles players from across the world, competing not just for prestigious titles in Birmingham but also for ranking points that contribute to the end-of-season BWF World Tour Finals.
