The Macau Open (Super 300) will return to the 31-tournament HSBC BWF Word Tour calendar from 2024-2026, taking the place of the New Zealand Open.

In March this year, Badminton New Zealand relinquished its hosting rights of the New Zealand Open (Super 300) for the remainder of the cycle.

BWF Secretary General Thomas Lund said Macau was the obvious candidate to take the vacant hosting position.

“The Macau Open has been a mainstay on the tour since 2006 and we’re excited to welcome them back in 2024,” Lund said.

“We have full confidence that the Badminton Federation of Macau will deliver a spectacular tournament over the next three years.”

The 2024 edition of the Macau Open will be played from 24-29 September. It was last staged in 2019.
