The Denmark Open 2024 badminton live stream fixes the spotlight on Viktor Axelsen, the Olympic gold medalist who's otherwise yet to win anything bigger than a Super 500 event. Will the world No.1-ranked Dane's drought end at the Super 750 Denmark Open? For that to materialize he may need to oust his compatriot, No.2-seeded Anders Antonsen.

You can watch Denmark Open badminton from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE!

2024 Denmark Open badminton live streams: TV schedule, dates

The 2024 Denmark Open badminton started on Tuesday, October 15 and runs until Sunday October 20.
► WATCH FREE — YouTube (U.S., CAN, AUS)
► U.K. — TNT Sports / Discovery Plus
► Watch anywheretry NordVPN 100% risk free

The working theory is that Axelsen is focused primarily on peaking for the biggest events this year: Paris 2024 and the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals, scheduled for December. However, a comprehensive win in the opening match saw the Dane sail through to the Round of 16 at the expense of Japan's Tanaka Yushi, setting up a meeting with Alex Lanier of France on Thursday.

In the women's draw, No.1 seed An Se-young breezed through to the R16 with the Olympic and Malaysia Open champion's opponent in the next round yet to be decided. Wang Zhiyi looks the likeliest to challenge the Korean star's dominance at Arena Fyn in Odense this week, with the breakout star's opening game set for Wednesday.
