Sports · By SpikeToday · Oct 7, 2026, 15:09 UTC

The VICTOR Denmark Open, a BWF World Tour Super 750 tournament, runs from Tuesday, October 13 to Sunday, October 18, 2026, at the SJF Bank Arena in Odense, Denmark. Play starts at 9:00 am Danish time on most days. That is 12:30 pm in India, 2:00 pm in Indonesia and 3:00 pm in Malaysia. The organisers announced the draw on October 6, and the finals are on Sunday, October 18, from 12:00 pm Danish time, according to their schedule.

The draw: first-round matches to watch

The organisers say the first round includes Lundgaard/Vestergaard against Kim/Seo in men's doubles, Mia Blichfeldt against Akane Yamaguchi in women's singles, India's Lakshya Sen against Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei in men's singles, Alex Lanier against Li Shi Feng in men's singles, and the Stoeva sisters against Hsu/Lin in women's doubles (Denmark Open). The full draw is on the BWF's tournament page. The organisers also named Anders Antonsen, Mathias Christiansen/Alexandra Bøje, An Se Young, Feng Yan Zhe/Huang Dong Ping, Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup, Seo Seung Jae/Kim Won Ho and Line Christophersen among the stars in the field (Denmark Open).

Schedule by day

The organisers give these playing hours, in Danish summer time (CEST, UTC+2).

There are five events, each with a draw of 32 players or pairs, and the Super 750 level carries US$950,000 in prize money in total (Wikipedia's 2026 World Tour page). Last year's tournament played 155 matches in all (Denmark Open).

Start times in your city

Odense stays on CEST until the clocks go back on October 25, so all six days use the same offset. Individual matches start later than the opening time, in the order of play.

Where to watch

• In Denmark: TV 2 Sport and TV 2 Play will broadcast live from Odense all week, the organisers say.

Tickets

Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster.dk. The all-week and weekend passes are sold out, according to the organisers' ticket page, so check Ticketmaster for single-day availability. Prices are in Danish kroner and do not include Ticketmaster's fee. The krone is pegged to the euro at about 7.46, so DKK 220 is roughly €29.50 and DKK 335 roughly €45. Groups of 15 or more get a discount on standard tickets.

The venue

The SJF Bank Arena, also known as Arena Fyn, is in the south-east of Odense and holds 4,000 spectators for sport. The Denmark Open has been held there since 2007 (Wikipedia). The organisers call the Denmark Open the second-oldest international badminton tournament in the world.

Last year's champions

The 2025 finals were played on October 19 (official report). Feng Yan Zhe and Huang Dong Ping have now won the mixed doubles at three Denmark Opens in a row, from 2023 to 2025.

What comes next

The Denmark Open is the first of two Super 750 events in successive weeks, according to the 2026 World Tour schedule.
