Full list of players who have qualified for BWF World Tour Finals 2024

Olympic Champions have secured direct entry into the tournament.

The BWF World Tour Finals 2024 is the seventh edition of the BWF World Tour, a circuit of 31 tournaments that lead up to the season-ending finale. This year’s finals, scheduled in Hangzhou from December 11-15, will witness a prize money of $2.5 million. It is the final tournament of the 2024 BWF World Tour.

Qualification criteria

The top eight players or pairs in each category will qualify based on the BWF World Tour rankings. However, there’s a special rule according to which, not more than two players/pairs from each country or association in each category can qualify for the year-end finals.

The World Tour Rankings are based on the tournaments held in the season. These are divided into five levels: Level 1 – World Tour Finals, Level 2 – Super 1000 (4 tournaments), Level 3 – Super 750 (6 tournaments), Level 4 – Super 500 (9 tournaments) and Level 5 – Super 300 (11 tournaments).

Players earn their spots by performing well in tournaments throughout the year. They can count their best 14 tournament results, with a limit of three results from the Super 100 tournaments.

Unlike the 2023 edition, where reigning world champions were granted a place in the finals, this year, reigning Olympic title holders automatically qualify for the tournament.

As a result, players such as Viktor Axelsen, as well as pairs like Lee Yang/Wang Chi-lin, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, and Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong, have qualified even if they fail to meet the qualification requirements of being in the top #8 rankings.

If players have the same ranking, the selection will depend on the number of BWF World Tour tournaments they have participated in, and the points earned in those tournaments from July 1 of that year onward. The China Masters 2024 (Super 750) will be the final qualification tournament for qualification into BWF World Tour Finals 2024.

From December 11 to 15, Hangzhou will be the center of the badminton world. The tournament brings together players who have fought hard all year, each hoping to be crowned the ultimate champion. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the full list of players who have made the season finale in Hangzhou.
