The 2020 BWF World Tour (officially known as 2020 HSBC BWF World Tour for sponsorship reasons) was the third season of the BWF World Tour of badminton, a circuit of 27 tournaments which led up to the World Tour Finals tournament.[1] The 28 tournaments are divided into five levels: Level 1 was the said World Tour Finals, Level 2 called Super 1000 (five tournaments), Level 3 called Super 750 (five tournaments), Level 4 called Super 500 (six tournaments) and Level 5 called Super 300 (11 tournaments). Each of these tournaments offers different ranking points and prize money. The highest points and prize pool were offered at the Super 1000 level (including the World Tour Finals).

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 BWF World Tour, it is an important part of the pathway and entry point for players into the BWF World Tour tournaments. When the 10 Level 6 grade tournaments of the BWF Tour Super 100 are included, the complete tour consists of 38 tournaments.
