The 2021 BWF World Junior Championships was going to be the twenty-second edition of the BWF World Junior Championships. It was planned to be held in Chengdu, China but was cancelled in August 2021 owing to widespread outbreaks of the Delta variant of COVID-19.[7][8] China was awarded the event in November 2018 during the announcement of 18 major badminton event hosts from 2019 to 2025.[9] Chengdu was named in July 2020 as the bidding city and accepted as the host for the event.[10]
