How to watch Denmark Open 2020 live stream

It’s been a quiet seven months for badminton fans, but world-class shuttlecock action is back – read on to find out how to get a Denmark Open 2020 no matter where you are in the world.

As with so much of the sporting calendar, the HSBC BWF World Tour went on hiatus back in March thanks to the coronavirus outbreak. But this key six-day tournament in Odense marks the return of the sport, albeit with a number of the badminton’s most recognizable players absent.

The Denmark Open stands as one of the sport’s most prestigious tournaments and most lucrative with a prize pot this year of $750,000. The 2019 edition saw Kento Momota take the men’s singles title for the second year in a row, while China’s Tai Tzu-ying took the title for the women’s championship.

Standing as the first major badminton tournament since March, organisers have implemented a secure “bubble” for players similar to that used recently by the NBA in order to protect participants and officials from Covid-19.

Despite the precautions, 15 top Japanese players opted to pull out last month, including defending men’s champ Momota along with world no. 3 ranked Women’s singles player Akane Yamaguchi.

Other notable absentees include India’s former women’s number one Saina Nehwal plus her husband P. Kashyap.

That presents an opportunity for lower ranked stars alongside emerging players, with former No.1 Kidambi Srikanth flying the flag for India as the nations best hope for a winner, while number two seed Chou Tien-chen is the current bookies favourite to win this year’s men’s crown.
