AirBadminton is an innovative and exciting outdoor version of badminton, developed to make the sport accessible anytime and anywhere. Designed by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), AirBadminton brings the speed, skill, and fun of traditional badminton to outdoor environments such as parks, beaches, school yards, and urban spaces.
The game is played using a specially designed shuttlecock called the AirShuttle, which is heavier and more wind-resistant than a traditional shuttle. This allows for stable and enjoyable play in outdoor conditions while maintaining the core techniques and tactics of badminton.
AirBadminton can be played on various surfaces, including grass, sand, and hard courts, making it highly flexible and inclusive. Matches are typically played in singles, doubles, or triples formats, encouraging teamwork, fitness, and social interaction.
Beyond competition, AirBadminton promotes an active lifestyle, community engagement, and easy entry into the sport for people of all ages and skill levels. It supports the development of badminton globally by lowering barriers to participation and bringing the game closer to the public in open and recreational spaces.
AirBadminton is more than a game—it is a modern, accessible way to experience badminton outdoors.
