Six days of World Tour badminton in Jakarta
The tournament runs Tuesday, October 20 to Sunday, October 25, 2026. It carries the sanction of the BWF World Tour at the Super 100 level, which is the circuit’s lowest tier. That makes it a proving ground: the players are mostly rising names from across Asia chasing ranking points, not the established stars of the Super 1000 events.
The “II” sets it apart from another Indonesian Super 100 on the same season’s calendar. Super 100 events cover the standard five disciplines:
- Men’s singles
- Women’s singles
- Men’s doubles
- Women’s doubles
- Mixed doubles
How the week unfolds
Early rounds pack the most courts with the most matches. In the opening days several courts usually run side by side, so one session can cover dozens of games across all five events. By the weekend the draw has narrowed. Semi-finals and finals are played one match at a time on a single show court.
Fans who come for volume pick the weekdays. Fans who come for the drama of a title decider pick Sunday. The BWF’s World Tour calendar is the governing body’s reference for the tournament’s dates, draws and results, and the tournament organiser handles venue and ticketing details.
Cheering in an Indonesian badminton hall
In Indonesia badminton draws a crowd the way football does elsewhere. Home players get rhythmic chants of “Indonesia!” and loud inflatable clappers. Fans often sing through rallies against foreign opponents. If you come from quieter tennis-style crowds, expect noise, and know that joining in is welcome.
Some norms are worth knowing:
- Movement: spectators usually wait for a rally to finish before walking to or from their seats.
- Payment: Jakarta vendors widely accept QRIS mobile payments alongside cash. Tipping at food stalls is not expected.
- Dress: fans often wear red and white for home players.
- Food: hall concourses at Indonesian badminton events typically sell packaged snacks and drinks. Proper meals tend to be outside the venue.
Getting around Jakarta during the tournament
Traffic sets the pace in Jakarta. Most visitors use ride-hailing apps: Gojek and Grab offer both cars and motorbike taxis, and the motorbikes slip through jams far faster. The MRT Jakarta North–South line and the TransJakarta bus network give you rail and dedicated-lane options along the main corridors.
October is a transition month heading into the rainy season, so afternoon downpours are common and humidity stays high. Visitors usually base themselves in central areas such as Sudirman, Thamrin or Senayan. From there, hotels, malls and transit are close together.
If you have a spare day, these are nearby options:
- Kota Tua: the Dutch colonial old town around Fatahillah Square.
- Monas: the National Monument in Merdeka Square.
- Istiqlal Mosque: Southeast Asia’s largest mosque, across the road from Jakarta Cathedral.
A full tournament run takes six days. Most international spectators choose two or three sessions and spend the rest of their time on the city.
