BWF Para Badminton World Championships: Bahrain’s capital city Manama will host the BWF Para Badminton World Championships 2026 – marking a first for the region to host a world event in the sport.

To be held from February 7 to 14, 2026, the Para Badminton World Championships will be the second tournament in the season, following the Egypt PB International (January 12-18, 2026). The eligibility and list of qualified players will be based on the Para Badminton World Rankings published on November 11, 2025 following the conclusion of the Japan Para Badminton International 2025.

"The 2026 Para badminton calendar has been finalised, and currently consists of 16 tournaments around the world – additional tournaments may be announced in due course," the BWF said in a statement on Saturday.
