The 2025 All England Open is under way - and you can follow the action on the BBC from 14-16 March.
This is the world's oldest and most prestigious badminton tournament - dating back to 1898, when it was first held.
Taking place at the Utilita Arena Birmingham, the tournament hosts the very best players including gold, silver and bronze medallists from the 2024 Olympics.
You can watch live action across Red Button, the BBC Sport app and iPlayer.
What is it?
The tournament features singles and doubles action and is the only Super 1,000 event that takes place in Europe.
It started on Tuesday, and in total features 155 matches.
Who to look out for?
Two-time Olympic champion Victor Axelsen has already crashed out of the men's event. World number one Shi Yuqi and world champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand are among the favourites.
In the women's singles, 2023 winner An Se-young is one to watch.
England's Ben Lane and Sean Landy feature in the men's doubles. The pair were knocked out in the first round of 2024, and will be hoping they can go far this year.
