Denmark Open 2024: live stream BWF badminton online and on TV from anywhere, Viktor Axelsen wins opener

Viktor Axelsen of Denmark plays a shot in his red and white t-shirt and red headband.

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.

FREE Denmark Open 2024 badminton live streams

How to watch Denmark Open 2024 badminton from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the badminton on your usual subscription? You can still watch Denmark Open 2024 live thanks to a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.S., and want to view your usual service, you'd select an American server from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service that's showing the badminton and watch Denmark Open 2024 as normal — that's YouTube for Americans abroad.
