For viewers in India, the ties are being broadcast live on the Star Sports Network TV channels. Live streaming is available on Jio Hotstar on OTT and the BWF TV YouTube channel.
The Indian men’s team has already qualified for the quarter-finals, but the official timings for that will be announced on April 29 after their final group tie against China.
The Indian contingent at the Uber Cup, led by P.V. Sindhu, featuring a mix of experienced campaigners and rising stars, had a disappointing campaign in the tournament.
The squad included Unnati Hooda, Tanvi Sharma, Devika Sihag, Isharani Baruah, and the doubles players like Tanisha Crasto, Kavipriya Selvam, Priya Konjengbam, Shruti Mishra and Simran Singhi.
India started their campaign with a close 2-3 loss against the host nation. They then registered a strong 4-1 win against Ukraine, which gave the team a boost and kept their hopes alive in the group stage.
However, their campaign came to an end after a loss against China in their final group match. Despite PV Sindhu’s efforts, the team suffered a 0-5 defeat.
This result led to India’s exit in the group stage of the Uber Cup 2026, their worst result of the tournament over the past eight years.
On the other hand, the Indian men’s team confirmed the spot in the quarter-finals with their second consecutive group win against Australia on Monday.
