The schedule for the Asian Badminton Team Championships tomorrow (2026.2.3) includes the match China vs. Macau, live on CCTV Video and Youku Sports Channel.

Tomorrow is the opening day of the Asian Badminton Team Championships, featuring seven matches in total, detailed in the image below. Notably, at 5 PM, the Chinese men's team will compete against Macau.

The men's team group draw is shown below, placing China, Macau, and Thailand in the same group.

The lineup of the Chinese men's team players is shown below. You might wonder why most players are young and why Shi Yuqi, Li Shifeng, Weng Hongyang, and Lu Guangzu are not participating. This is because the 2026 Asian Badminton Team Championships also serve as the Thomas & Uber Cup qualifiers. As the defending Thomas Cup champions, China qualifies directly. Therefore, this tournament serves mainly as a training opportunity, with a squad composed mostly of younger players.

Event Preview

1. Other Asian teams like Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia have sent their strongest lineups to compete.
2. Thus, for this event, China focuses on gaining experience rather than aiming for the title.
3. Therefore, please do not expect the Chinese badminton team to win the championship this time.
4. However, we remain confident about winning tomorrow's match against Macau. What do you think?
