The Swedish Open 2026 is currently taking place in Uppsala, Sweden. The tournament is a part of the Badminton Europe Elite Circuit (International Series) and features competitors from over 40 nations.
The tournament is scheduled from January 15 – 18, 2026 at the IFU Arena, Uppsala. Competitions will be held across five categories: men’s & women’s singles, men’s & women’s doubles, and mixed doubles.
The Swedish Open is an open badminton tournament that is annually held since 2018, previously from 1956 to 2000 after which the organizer, Svenska Badmintonförbundet, could no longer find a suitable sponsor. To some extent it has been replaced by the Swedish International Stockholm tournament.
Between 2004 and 2017 it was replaced by Swedish International / Swedish Masters Badminton Championships. The name is re-used since 2018.
