2026 Results, Match by Match

Japan Open 2026

Super 750・Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium

🔻He came in unseeded and went out in the first round on 14 July, losing 14-21, 21-23 in 47 minutes to the 5th seed Christo Popov (FRA). The second game went 21-23, two points from a decider. ⚡That opponent went on to beat the 1st seed Shi Yuqi (CHN) in the quarter-final and win the title.
🆕Added on 18 September 2026: this match was on none of our pages. When this page went up on 9 September, the official BWF day data we counted covered three tournaments, and this one was not among them. The BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia agree.

China Open 2026

Super 1000・Changzhou, China

🔥He beat the 3rd seed, Anders Antonsen of Denmark, in the first round. We hold three of his matches here, two wins and one defeat. The first round on 21 July went 15-21, 21-17, 22-20 in 84 minutes: he lost the opening game and took the decider by two points. On 23 July he beat Leong Jun Hao (MAS) 20-22, 21-11, 21-18 in 70 minutes, again from a game down. On 24 July he lost the quarter-final 25-27, 14-21 in 55 minutes to Lin Chun-yi (TPE); our tournament page writes that one from Lin's side as 27-25, 21-14.
🆕Corrected on 9 September 2026: that first-round score had the first and second games swapped on our China Open page and on Antonsen's player page. We confirmed it against the official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia, and fixed it the same day we published this page.

BWF World Championships 2026

World Championships・New Delhi, India

🔻Seeded 16th, he went out in his first match. On 17 August he lost the first round 17-21, 14-21 in 43 minutes to 🇯🇵Yushi Tanaka (JPN). Our tournament page writes it from Tanaka's side as 21-17, 21-14 and notes in its opening-day panel that only two of the sixteen seeds lost that day, Shi Yuqi and Weng Hongyang. The Japanese specialist outlet Badminton Spirit lists the same numbers. ⚠️This is the only score we hold from this event.

China Masters 2026

Super 750・Shenzhen, China

⚠️We hold no score at all for Weng Hongyang from this event. Our China Masters 2026 page carries the Japanese entries and the seeds who fell, and none of his three went into either group. His name appears there only for the quarter-final he lost on 4 September, and only inside the description of the winner, Jason Gunawan of Hong Kong. We identified all three scores in the official BWF day data, and the quarter-final also matches the Badminton Spirit results list, so they are written out with dates and opponents under The three without a score.

The five matches we recorded score by score for Weng Hongyang in 2026, up to 17 August, are two wins and three losses, and the wins and the losses split cleanly by length: both wins went to three games, at 84 and 70 minutes, and all three defeats ended in two games, at 47, 55 and 43 minutes.

• ✅Both wins went to three games, and in both he lost the opening game first: 15-21, 21-17, 22-20 in 84 minutes against Anders Antonsen (DEN, 3rd seed) on 21 July, and 20-22, 21-11, 21-18 in 70 minutes against Leong Jun Hao (MAS) on 23 July. Both came on consecutive days at the China Open (Super 1000).
• 🔻All three defeats ended in two games. He lost 14-21, 21-23 in 47 minutes to Christo Popov (FRA, 5th seed) on 14 July, 25-27, 14-21 in 55 minutes to Lin Chun-yi (TPE) on 24 July, and 17-21, 14-21 in 43 minutes to 🇯🇵Yushi Tanaka (JPN) on 17 August. He took no game in any of them, and only the second game against Popov was within two points.
• ⏱By the clock the wins ran 84 and 70 minutes and the defeats 47, 55 and 43. Every match he won here is longer than every match he lost.
• 🇯🇵We hold one meeting with a Japanese player, and he lost it: the World Championships first round on 17 August, as the 16th seed, 17-21, 14-21 to Yushi Tanaka.

Everything above comes from our own tournament pages, and we do not explain why any of it happened. These five are not his whole 2026 (see The three without a score).

🔥21 July 2026, first round of the China Open (Super 1000). Weng Hongyang was unseeded; his opponent was the 3rd seed, Anders Antonsen of Denmark. It finished 15-21, 21-17, 22-20 in 84 minutes: a game down, then two points in the decider.

• 📌Our China Open 2026 page carries this among the first-round matches to note, as a win over a top seed. Antonsen's tournament ended there, in round one (see Anders Antonsen's 2026 results).
• 🔴🆕That score was wrong in all eight places we had written it, and we corrected it on 9 September 2026. Our tournament page read "21-15, 17-21, 22-20", which works from neither player's side. Antonsen's player pages, Japanese and English, had his own first two games the wrong way round.
• 🔎We found it by pulling the official BWF day data for all of his matches before writing this page. BWF (21 July 2026, men's singles, round of 32) lists Antonsen first at 21-15, 17-21, 20-22, winner Weng, 84 minutes. The draw on English Wikipedia agrees: Antonsen 21/17/20, Weng 15/21/22. So the correct order is 15-21, 21-17, 22-20 from Weng's side and 21-15, 17-21, 20-22 from Antonsen's.
• ⚠️This kind of error never turns a check red. The numbers were well formed, the totals were possible, nothing on the page broke, and the Japanese and English versions carried the same figures as each other. Only a point-by-point comparison with an outside primary source finds it. Two more game-order errors were found on the same tournament page on 8 September.

We do not quietly remove our corrections: where we fixed something, the page says what changed and when. If you spot an error, please tell us through our contact page.

🔢We pulled the official BWF day data for four tournaments, date by date, and counted his matches against ours. BWF has him playing eight matches across the four events. We hold a score for five of them, so the difference is three — and all three are the China Masters (Super 750, Shenzhen) in September.

🆕Corrected on 18 September 2026: when this page went up on 9 September it counted seven of his matches across three events here. The three tournaments we counted did not include the Japan Open 2026 (Super 750, Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium) in July, so his first round on 14 July fell outside the range. That match is confirmed by the official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia, and from today we count it among the matches we hold. ⚠️A check that says "we counted everything" stays green even when the range itself is missing an event.

• 🏸1 September, first round: beat Teh Jia Heng (SGP) 21-13, 21-12 in 43 minutes.
• 🏸3 September, second round: beat Loh Kean Yew (SGP) 21-18, 11-21, 21-17 in 74 minutes. His opponent had knocked out the 6th seed, Shi Yuqi of China, the day before.
• 🏸4 September, quarter-final: lost to Jason Gunawan (HKG) 18-21, 13-21 in 50 minutes. This is the one with two sources: the official BWF day data and the Badminton Spirit quarter-final results list, which prints it as "Jason Gunawan (HKG) 2 [21-18, 21-13] 0 Weng Hongyang (CHN), 50 min".
• 📄This is not an error on our side; it is what our format does. Our China Masters 2026 page carries each day's Japanese entries and each day's fallen seeds. Weng was not seeded at this event, and neither were his first two opponents, so he fell into neither group.
• 🔎Only counting tells you whether something is missing. Existing checks can say whether what we wrote is right, but a match we never wrote has nothing to compare against, so every check stays green. The three above rest on the official BWF day data, so we do not count them among the matches we recorded.

The five we do hold were checked point by point against the same BWF day data: the scores and the direction of every result agree. Some lines on our tournament pages are written from the Japanese player's or the winner's side, so the same match can appear with the numbers reversed.

• 2026 — China Open (Super 1000) — quarter-finalist
  Changzhou, July. He beat the 3rd seed Anders Antonsen (DEN) 15-21, 21-17, 22-20 in 84 minutes in round one, then Leong Jun Hao (MAS) 20-22, 21-11, 21-18 in 70 minutes, before losing the quarter-final 25-27, 14-21 to Lin Chun-yi (TPE). Three of the five results we hold as primary records come from this event.
• 2026 — China Masters (Super 750) — quarter-finalist
  Shenzhen, September. He lost the quarter-final on 4 September 18-21, 13-21 in 50 minutes to Jason Gunawan (HKG). ⚠️Our own page for this event holds no score for him; the scores come from the official BWF day data and the Badminton Spirit results list.
• 2026 — BWF World Championships — 16th seed
  New Delhi, August. He entered as the 16th seed but lost his first match on 17 August, 17-21, 14-21 in 43 minutes, to Yushi Tanaka (JPN). Our tournament page records that only two of the sixteen seeds lost on that opening day, Shi Yuqi and Weng Hongyang.
• 2026 — World No. 22, dated 8 September 2026
  The official BWF ranking page for men's singles (Week 37) gives 22nd with 50,541 points, down four places on the previous week. ⚠️World rankings move every week, so this is a dated record. We do not publish a career high for him, because we can find only one source for it.

📅The most recent match we record for him is the men's team final at the 2026 Asian Games on 24 September (just below). We hold no score from the China Masters 2026 before it, which finished on 6 September. The most recent of the five matches on this page is his World Championships first round on 17 August.

🏸At the Asian Games from 20 to 29 September in Ichinomiya, Japan, China took silver in the men's team event, beaten 2-3 by Indonesia in the final. In the fifth and deciding match of that final on 24 September he lost to Zaki Ubaidillah (INA) 21-23, 13-21 (48 minutes), which settled the gold for Indonesia. We have not recorded his earlier team matches or the individual event. ⚠️This match is not in the five-match count above (score from Weng's side).

In the European autumn swing, the Arctic Open (6 to 11 October) has finished and the Denmark Open (13 to 18 October) is under way. Next comes the French Open from 20 to 25 October.

⚠️ Our Arctic Open and Denmark Open pages are written around the Japanese entries, and we have no match of Weng Hongyang on either (as of 15 October 2026); check the BWF draws for whether he played and how he did. The French Open 2026 draw came out on 15 October, but our tournament page lists only the Japanese entries' first-round matches, so we have not recorded his place in the draw. No entry list has been published for the events after it, and we do not guess at who will play. Our full 2026 calendar is on the badminton schedule page.

"Two wins and three losses" is not his 2026. The five we hold a score for run from 14 July to 17 August, and none of the three matches that took him to the China Masters quarter-finals in September is among them. Saying what is missing is more accurate than filling it in.

🔴A page about a player from another country has more holes than a page about a Japanese player. Our tournament pages are written around the Japanese entries and the movement of the seeds, so a match that is neither drops out. ⇒ Here we counted that gap in the official BWF day data, named the three China Masters matches, and gave the date, the opponent and the score for each (see The three without a score).

🔍The same results can still be read from both sides. On Yushi Tanaka's page 17 August is a win, and here it is a defeat; on Lin Chun-yi's page 24 July is a win, and here it is a defeat. The points are the same; only the direction changes.
