King Cup International Badminton Open 2025: Live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch?

Denmark’s Anders Antonsen won the inaugural edition of the tournament

The King Cup International Badminton Open 2025 returns to Shenzhen from December 26 to 28, promising three days of elite men’s singles action in a compact eight-man invitational format.

Though not part of the official BWF World Tour, the tournament has quickly carved out its own identity, winning fans over with high-intensity matchups and a strong, narrative-driven presentation.

The inaugural edition in 2024 lived up to expectations, delivering gripping contests throughout the week. Denmark’s Anders Antonsen emerged as the first-ever champion after defeating China’s Hu Zhe’an in the final, while India’s Lakshya Sen finished third. He defeated France’s Alex Lanier by a 21-17, 21-11 scoreline.

Off the court, the event generated significant traction through its social media presence, with match highlights, player reactions, and behind-the-scenes moments amplifying its appeal.

With no group stages and every match played in a straight knockout format, the King Cup leaves little room for recovery, turning each encounter into a high-pressure contest. The invitational setup also allows fans to see rare matchups that are unlikely to occur on the regular BWF World Tour.

The 2025 lineup once again features top-tier talent, including Shi Yu Qi, Jonatan Christie, Alex Lanier, Jason Teh, Victor Lai, Liu Yang Ming Yu, and the much-anticipated return of Kento Momota.

Launched under the vision of badminton legend Lin Dan, the King Cup continues to position itself as a must-watch showcase for fans worldwide.
