BBC to Stream Badminton Championships

BBC Sport will offer substantial coverage of this year’s Badminton World Championships in Glasgow. The August tournament will be streamed live on the BBC Sport website, with an hour-long television highlights show to follow the final.

The coverage will include live online video from two of the courts at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena.

China’s Chen Long and Spain’s Carolina Marin are defending singles champions in the event.

Badminton was one of seven sports who lost appeals against UK Sport funding cuts earlier this week.
