2021 BWF World Tour Dates 2 March – 5 December Edition 4th
The 2021 BWF World Tour (officially known as 2021 HSBC BWF World Tour for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth season of the BWF World Tour of badminton, a circuit of 27 tournaments which led up to the World Tour Finals tournament.[ 1] The 28 tournaments were divided into five levels: Level 1 is the said World Tour Finals, Level 2 called Super 1000 (four tournaments), Level 3 called Super 750 (five tournaments), Level 4 called Super 500 (seven tournaments) and Level 5 called Super 300 (11 tournaments). Each of these tournaments offered different ranking points and prize money. The highest points and prize pool were offered at the Super 1000 level (including the World Tour Finals).
One other category of tournament, the BWF Tour Super 100 (level 6), also offered BWF World Tour ranking points. Although this level was not part of the BWF World Tour, it was an important part of the pathway and entry point for players into the BWF World Tour tournaments. When the eight Level 6 grade tournaments of the BWF Tour Super 100 were included, the complete tour consists of 36 tournaments.
