The 2018 BWF World Tour, known officially as 2018 HSBC BWF World Tour, is the first season of the BWF World Tour of badminton, a circuit of 26 tournaments towards the finals. It replaces the BWF Super Series and BWF Grand Prix, which was held from 2007 to 2017. The 27 tournaments are divided into five levels: Level 1 the HSBC World Tour Finals, Level 2 called Super 1000 (three tournaments), Level 3 called Super 750 (five tournaments), Level 4 called Super 500 (seven tournaments) and Level 5 called Super 300 (eleven tournaments). Each of these tournaments offers different ranking points and prize money. The highest points and prize pool is offered at the Super 1000 level.
One other category of tournament, the BWF Tour Super 100 level 6, also offers BWF World Tour ranking points. Although this level is not part of the HSBC BWF World Tour, it is an important part of the pathway and entry point for players into the HSBC BWF World Tour tournaments. When the ten Level 6 grade tournaments of the BWF Tour Super 100 are included, the complete tour consists of 37 tournaments.
