BWF China Masters 2025: Top Players, Points And Prize Money

4 Min Read

China Masters 2025 will get rolling from 16 to 21 September. It will be the 23rd tournament of the 2025 BWF World Tour and was also part of the China Masters championships. 

This will be the 18th edition of the China Masters tournament and take place at Shenzhen Arena in Shenzhen, China, from 16 to 21 September 2025.

The 2025 China Masters have been held since 2005, organized by the Chinese Badminton Association and sanctioned by the BWF

The tournament became part of the BWF Super Series tournaments in 2007. In 2014 the level of the tournament was downgraded to BWF Grand Prix Gold because, although China bid in the autumn of 2012 to continue to host two BWF Super Series tournaments, the Changzhou bid was unsuccessful and the China Masters was replaced for the 2014–2017 Superseries cycle by the Australian Open.

In 2018, the tournament became a part of World Tour Grade 2 Level 3 tournament (BWF World Tour Super 750) and renamed Fuzhou China Open. From 2023 onwards, this tournament will be held in Shenzhen, and its name will be changed back to its former name, China Masters.
