Badminton world ranking

The **BWF World Ranking** is the official ranking of the [Badminton World Federation](/source/Badminton_World_Federation) for badminton players who participate in tournaments sanctioned by [Badminton World Federation](/source/Badminton_World_Federation). It is used to determine the qualification for the [World Championships](/source/BWF_World_Championships) and [Summer Olympic Games](/source/Badminton_at_the_Summer_Olympics),[1] as well as [BWF World Tour](/source/BWF_World_Tour) tournaments.[2] Seedings of draws at all BWF-sanctioned tournaments are conducted using the BWF World Ranking.[3] Players under 19 years of age are eligible to rank in the [BWF World Junior Ranking](/source/BWF_World_Junior_Ranking), which were introduced in January 2011. The following lists are the rankings:[4]

## Overview

The ranking points are awarded based on the level and progress of the tournament from each player/pair. Ranking points calculated are based on the tournaments each players/pairs participate in from the last 52 weeks. If a player or pair has participated in ten or fewer World Ranking tournaments, then the ranking is worked out by adding together the points won at tournaments in the last 52 weeks. If a player or pair has participated in 11 or more World Ranking tournaments, only the 10 highest points scored in the tournaments during the 52-week period count towards their ranking. The highest possible ranking points are 124,000 as of 2022 but will soon increase to 125,000 in 2023 with 4 Super 1000 Tournaments.[1][5][6] Though the highest points ever achieved are 123,905 by the korean men’s double pair of Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae on 14 April 2026.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
