The2026 India Open, officially known as theYonex Sunrise India Open 2026 for sponsorship reasons, was abadminton tournament that took place at theIndira Gandhi Arena,New Delhi, India, from 13 through 18 January 2026, with a total prize of US$950,000.

The 2026 India Open was the second tournament of the2026 BWF World Tour and a part of theIndia Open, which has been held since 1973. It was organized by theBadminton Association of India with sanction from theBWF.^[1]

This tournament was held at theIndira Gandhi Arena inNew Delhi, India.^[1]

Below is the point distribution table for each phase of the tournament based on theBWF points system for theBWF World Tour Super 750 event.^[2]

The total prize money was US$950,000 with the distribution of the prize money in accordance with BWF regulations.^[1]

Danish men's singles player and world no. 3Anders Antonsen withdrew from the India Open for the third straight time, citingpollution and air quality in New Delhi as hindrances in his participation in the tournament and even went on to say "I don't think it’s a place to host a badminton tournament". Consequently, he was finedUS$5,000 as top players are required by theBadminton World Federation (BWF) to participate in all tournaments of Super 750 and Super 1000 levels.^[3]

Another Danish playerMia Blichfeldt described the venue as "dirty and unhealthy" and said that players had to wear layers even in warm-up sessions due to inadequate heating inside the venue to whichBadminton Association of India (BAI) chief Sanjay Mishra replied, Blichfeldt's comments were "not about the playing arena specifically" and that "it is important to note that she was referring to the KD Jadhav Stadium, which is the training venue, and not the main playing arena. The playing arena has been kept clean, dirt-free and pigeon-free, and several players have expressed satisfaction with the conditions".^[4][5][6] However, the second round match in the men's singles between Singapore'sLoh Kean Yew and India'sPrannoy H. S. was interrupted twice due to bird droppings landing on the court of the Indira Gandhi Arena.^[7] After the game, Loh also agreed with the Danish players that the air quality was affecting the players.^[8]

Additionally, some courts at the Indira Gandhi Stadium were lit unevenly, appearing as if illuminated by spotlights, with areas in between partly shaded and players seemingly loosing sight ofshuttles.^[9] This was in contrast to every otherBWF World Tour event, where lighting is evenly distributed across the court.^[9] Delays in installing the lights had a domino effect, pushing back the Hawk-Eye setup required for line-call challenges.^[9][10] The issue appears to have been a case of poor calibration rather than a structural flaw.^[9][10]
