🏸 2026 results📅 What's next

LIANG Wei Keng and WANG Chang (梁偉鏗／王昶, China, men's doubles) and every 2026 badminton result we hold for them, match by match with the score. On 23 August 2026 they beat Aaron CHIA / SOH Wooi Yik (MAS) 21-17, 21-16 in the World Championships final for their first world title as a pair, and they are world No. 2 as of 13 October 2026 on 95,089 points. At the Asian Games 2026 in September they took silver as third seeds, losing the final from a game up. 🔴The five matches we held as of 11 September are three wins and two defeats, while the official BWF day data has thirty-six across their 2026 individual season, won twenty-seven and lost nine. 🔴Of the five matches that took them to the world title, the three we hold were all won in straight games — and the two we do not hold both went to three (see the three we hold). Every result card links to our page for that tournament. This is an unofficial summary; the profile uses only what our sources publish, and we do not write about injuries or private life.

🏸 2026 results

Every 2026 result we hold for Liang and Wang, tournament by tournament. Tournament names link to our page for that event, which is written in Japanese. ⚠️Our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries and the finals, so for this pair the middle of a run is often missing. Where it is, we fill in the date, the opponent and the score from the official BWF day data, and say which source each line comes from.

7/14〜19 🏸 Quarter-finalists

Daihatsu Japan Open

Super 750・Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium

We hold one of their matches here, and it is the one they lost. In the quarter-final on 17 July they lost to 🇯🇵Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi 12-21, 19-21 in 33 minutes. ⚠️The official BWF day data has them playing three here. The two we do not hold are the first round on 15 July (21-11, 21-11 in 25 minutes against CHOI Sol Gyu / GOH V Shem of Korea) and the second round on 16 July (21-17, 21-15 in 31 minutes against HUANG Di / LIU Yang of China), and they won both.

7/21〜26 🏸 Semi-finalists

China Open

Super 1000・Changzhou, China

Again the only match we hold here is one they lost. In the semi-final on 25 July they lost to Fajar ALFIAN / Muhammad Shohibul FIKRI (INA) 19-21, 21-14, 19-21 in 66 minutes. 🔴They lost the first and the third game by two points each. ⚠️The BWF day data has them playing four here, and the three we do not hold — the first round on 22 July (21-16, 21-7 in 26 minutes), the second round on 23 July (22-20, 21-11 in 35 minutes) and the quarter-final on 24 July (21-11, 22-20 in 39 minutes) — were all wins.

8/17〜23 🥇 Champions

BWF World Championships 2026

World Championships・New Delhi, India

🥇They came in as the 3rd seeds and left as world champions for the first time as a pair. We hold three of their matches here, and they won all three: the quarter-final on 21 August against India's own Satwiksairaj RANKIREDDY / Chirag SHETTY (5th seeds) 21-18, 21-9 in 36 minutes; the semi-final on 22 August against LEE Jhe-Huei / YANG Po-Hsuan (TPE) 21-18, 21-14 in 30 minutes; and the final on 23 August against Aaron CHIA / SOH Wooi Yik (MAS, 4th seeds) 21-17, 21-16 in 35 minutes. ⚠️Their first round on 17 August was a bye, so no match was played. The two we do not hold are the second round on 19 August (20-22, 21-12, 21-18 in 53 minutes against Alex GREEN / Zach RUSS of England) and the third round on 20 August (22-20, 8-21, 21-19 in 60 minutes against Kim ASTRUP / Anders Skaarup RASMUSSEN of Denmark), and both went to three games.

9/20〜29 🥈 Silver (third seed)

Asian Games 2026

Asian Games・Ichinomiya, Aichi, Japan

They reached the individual final as third seeds and took silver. They beat Battugs BAYARSAIKHAN / Bishrelt-Erdene ODBAYAR (MGL) 21-5, 21-13 in the first round on Friday 25 September, Chaloempon CHAROENKITAMORN / Worrapol THONGSA-NGA (THA) 21-15, 21-14 in the second round on the 26th, GOH Sze Fei / NUR Izzuddin (MAS) 21-13, 21-17 in the quarter-final on the 27th, and the second seeds Fajar ALFIAN / Muhammad Shohibul FIKRI (INA) 21-17, 13-21, 21-9 in the semi-final on the 28th. 🔴In the final on Tuesday 29 September they lost 21-19, 13-21, 18-21 to the unseeded Leo Rolly CARNANDO / Daniel MARTHIN (INA) — after taking the first game. China also lost the men's team final to Indonesia 2-3 and took silver; in the second match of that final on Thursday 24 September this pair beat Alfian and Fikri 22-20, 19-21, 21-14 (1 hour 6 minutes). 🔁Alfian and Fikri beat them in the China Open semi-final in July; in September Liang and Wang beat them twice, on the 24th and the 28th. ⚠️Our Asian Games 2026 page holds only the team-final match and the individual final; the other four scores come from the official results site and the English Wikipedia draw, which agree. The six Asian Games matches are not yet added to this page's count (five matches, three wins, two defeats, up to 11 September).

11/17〜22 📅 Listed by us as defending champions

Hong Kong Open 2026

Super 500・Kai Tak Arena, Hong Kong

Our Hong Kong Open 2026 page lists them as the defending men's doubles champions, from the 2025 edition. The career table on English Wikipedia gives that 2025 final as 19-21, 21-14, 21-17 against Satwiksairaj RANKIREDDY / Chirag SHETTY (IND). ⚠️The 2026 entry list has not been published.

Scores are written from Liang Weikeng / Wang Chang's point of view (Liang and Wang's points first). The count (five matches) covers matches completed by 11 September 2026. The six Asian Games 2026 matches (24 to 29 September) are shown on the card only and are not yet counted. Matches in progress are not listed.

🔴 The two scares are missing

They became world champions on 23 August, and it took five matches to get there. What we hold, score by score, is the quarter-final, the semi-final and the final. 🔴All three were won in straight games, in 36, 30 and 35 minutes. The two we do not hold both went to three games, and took 53 and 60 minutes.

A chart of LIANG Wei Keng and WANG Chang's route through the 2026 BWF World Championships, labelled in Japanese. Their first round on 17 August was a bye with no match played. In the second round on 19 August they beat Alex Green and Zach Russ of England 20-22, 21-12, 21-18 in 53 minutes. In the third round on 20 August they beat Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen of Denmark 22-20, 8-21, 21-19 in 60 minutes. In the quarter-final on 21 August they beat Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty of India, the fifth seeds, 21-18, 21-9 in 36 minutes. In the semi-final on 22 August they beat Lee Jhe-Huei and Yang Po-Hsuan of Chinese Taipei 21-18, 21-14 in 30 minutes. In the final on 23 August they beat Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik of Malaysia, the fourth seeds, 21-17, 21-16 in 35 minutes for the title. We hold a score for only the last three; the two three-game scares at the start are missing from our records.
Read only what we hold and it looks like a title won without alarm. In fact they lost the opening game 20-22 in the second round, and had to take a decider 21-19 in the third. The figure is labelled in Japanese.

The scores are primary records on our own tournament pages, checked point by point against the official BWF day data — same day, same opponent, same score. Anything we do not hold is filled in from that BWF data, and we do not count them among the matches we recorded.

📊 World No. 2, 36 ahead of third

On the world list of 13 October 2026 they are second in men's doubles, on 95,089 points from 16 counting tournaments. The sources are the official BWF ranking (Week 42) and a Japanese specialist outlet's list of the same date, which agree on both the position and the points.

World rankings are updated every week, so we never write "world No. 2" without the date. The number of counting tournaments matches in BWF's own ranking data and the specialist list.

🏆 Career highlights

📅 What's next

Their most recent match is the individual final of the Asian Games 2026 on Tuesday 29 September (silver as third seeds; China also took men's team silver).

95,089 points from 16 counted events. On 15 September 2026 they were No. 3 with 91,309 points, so they have moved up 1 place. World rankings are updated every week, so this is a dated record, not a current figure. Check the BWF website for the latest list.

⚠️We do not publish a height for LIANG Wei Keng. The BWF profile gives 175cm, the Japanese Wikipedia article 176cm and the English one 1.77m — three sources, three different numbers — and we do not guess. We leave out his birthplace too, because one source stops at the province and another names the city. His date of birth and playing hand are the same in all three.

⚠️We do not publish a height for WANG Chang either. The BWF profile gives 181cm and the Japanese Wikipedia article 180cm, one centimetre apart (the English article says 1.81m). We publish only figures all three sources agree on. His birthplace is left out for the same reason. His date of birth and playing hand match in all three.

Source — LIANG Wei Keng's Badminton Spirit report on the world rankings, doubles (27 August 2026) and LIANG Wei Keng's BWF official player profile (LIANG Wei Keng) and LIANG Wei Keng's Japanese Wikipedia article on Liang Weikeng / WANG Chang's Badminton Spirit report on the world rankings, doubles (27 August 2026) and WANG Chang's BWF official player profile (WANG Chang) and WANG Chang's Japanese Wikipedia article on Wang Chang (in Japanese).

🔍 Keep your own scoresheet

"Won the title in straight games" reads as: they were simply better. That is exactly how their World Championships looks here — because we only hold it from the quarter-final onwards. In fact they lost the opening game 20-22 in the second round, and in the third round were taken to 8-21 in the second game before winning a decider 21-19. Keep the date, the round and the game-by-game score, and "a title won without alarm" becomes "a title won after two near-falls". A scoresheet ends up being a more accurate place than your memory.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is LIANG Wei Keng and WANG Chang's world ranking?

World No. 2 in men's doubles as of 13 October 2026, with 95,089 points from 16 counted events. On 15 September 2026 they were No. 3 with 91,309 points, so they have moved up 1 place. The official BWF ranking (Week 42) and the specialist outlet Badminton Spirit's list dated 13 October agree on the place, the points and the number of counted events. World rankings are updated every week, so we publish ours with the date attached.

What are their 2026 results?

As of 11 September our tournament pages held three events and five of their matches, three wins and two defeats: the last eight at the Daihatsu Japan Open (Super 750), the last four at the China Open (Super 1000) and the title at the 2026 BWF World Championships. Their six Asian Games 2026 matches are not in the five. The official BWF day data has thirty-six across their 2026 individual season, won twenty-seven and lost nine. Two of those nine defeats fall inside the five we hold.

How did they win the 2026 World Championships?

They entered as the third seeds, had a bye in the first round and then won five matches in a row. We hold a score for the last three: the quarter-final on 21 August against Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty of India, the fifth seeds, 21-18, 21-9; the semi-final on 22 August against Lee Jhe-Huei and Yang Po-Hsuan of Chinese Taipei 21-18, 21-14; and the final on 23 August against Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik of Malaysia, the fourth seeds, 21-17, 21-16. All three were won in straight games, in 36, 30 and 35 minutes.

What happened in the two we do not hold?

Both went to three games. In the second round on 19 August they beat Alex Green and Zach Russ of England 20-22, 21-12, 21-18 in 53 minutes, and in the third round on 20 August they beat Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen of Denmark 22-20, 8-21, 21-19 in 60 minutes. The dates, opponents and scores come from the official BWF day data, and we do not count them among the matches we recorded. The five that won the title add up to 214 minutes, of which the three we hold account for 101.

Why does this page hold only five of their matches?

Because our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries and the finals. Wins in the middle of a run drop out, while a defeat to a Japanese pair never does. That is why a pair who became world champions looks like three wins and two defeats in our own records. It is a property of how we choose what to write down, not of the players, and this page fills the gaps with the date, the opponent and the score from the official BWF day data, saying which source each line comes from.

Have they played against Japanese pairs?

We record one such meeting in 2026: they lost the Daihatsu Japan Open quarter-final on 17 July to Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi 12-21, 19-21. Widen it to the BWF day data and they met Japanese pairs five times in 2026, winning three and losing two, with both defeats against Hoki and Kobayashi. That counts 2026 only, not a career head-to-head.

How old are they, and how tall?

Liang Weikeng was born on 30 November 2000 and Wang Chang on 7 May 2001, and both play right-handed; the BWF player profiles, the Japanese Wikipedia articles and the English ones agree on all of that. We publish no heights. For Liang the BWF profile says 175cm, the Japanese article 176cm and the English one 1.77m, three different numbers; for Wang the BWF profile says 181cm against the Japanese article's 180cm. We do not guess.

Which spelling of their names is correct?

This page uses the BWF romanisation first: LIANG Wei Keng and WANG Chang. The Japanese sources disagree on the katakana reading of Liang's name, with the specialist outlet writing one form and the Japanese Wikipedia article another, so we give both and treat neither as the single correct one. Our Japanese tournament pages use the Chinese characters throughout, and the specialist outlet's ranking list prints the pair in the opposite order to BWF.

How did they do at the Asian Games 2026?

They played men's doubles as third seeds and took silver. They won their first three matches in two games each, beat the second seeds Fajar Alfian / Muhammad Shohibul Fikri (INA) 21-17, 13-21, 21-9 in the semi-final on 28 September, and lost the final on 29 September to Leo Rolly Carnando / Daniel Marthin (INA), 21-19, 13-21, 18-21. China also lost the men's team final to Indonesia 2-3 for silver; in the second match of that final this pair beat Alfian and Fikri 22-20, 19-21, 21-14. Our Asian Games 2026 page, the official results site and the English Wikipedia draw agree on the scores.
