The badminton world tour starts in Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysia Open runs from 21 to 31 January 2027 and is the first event of the 2027 BWF World Tour.
What is different this time
Here’s what it means in plain terms: this is the first Super 1000 to run for 11 days over two weekends, so there are more days to catch a match. The singles draw has 48 players and starts with a group stage before moving to knockouts, think of it like a football tournament that opens with pools. The doubles is a straight knockout with 32 pairs.
Tickets
The practical upshot: 2027 tickets are not yet on sale. The 2026 edition sold through Ticket2U, so expect to confirm the 2027 seller closer to the date. Buy only from the official seller. Resale and unofficial tickets may be refused at the gate.
Getting around
Cormar Suites at 10 Jalan Perak is in the city centre, with three rail lines within about a 10-minute walk: Raja Chulan on the KL Monorail, KLCC on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line and Bukit Bintang on the MRT Kajang Line. Grab is available around the clock.
