Host city selection

New Delhi was awarded the hosting of the championship back in November 2018.[2] In July 2021, it was announced that Suzhou, the original host for 2021 edition, will host this edition instead and India accepted the offer to host 2026 BWF World Championships in exchange.[3]

Competition format

Qualification

Sixteen teams will participate in the final tournament in Suzhou, with the host and the defending champion will qualify automatically. Continental qualifying tournaments were held to determine the winner of allocated continental slots (4 from Asia and Europe, and 1 each from Africa, Oceania and Pan Am). The remaining slots were determined via team rankings. As China is both the host team and the defending champion, an extra slot from world ranking is opened.
