File:Greve_Badminton.jpg against Værløse]]

The Danish Badminton League, or Badmintonligaen, is the highest-level national team tournament for badminton clubs in Denmark. It is run by Badminton Denmark, with the regular season lasting from September to February. The winning club then qualifies for Europe Cup.{{cite web|url=http://www.badmintondenmark.com/cms/?&pageid=1863|title=The Danish club structure - a very good idea|publisher=Badminton Danmark|accessdate=17 February 2017|archive-date=23 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223074419/http://badmintondenmark.com/cms/?&pageid=1863|url-status=dead}} Københavns Badminton Klub is the most successful club in the competition, with 18 title wins, while Gentofte BK has won the title 16 times, the second-most in the league.

Competition format

The league consists of 10 teams, each of which plays against the 9 other teams throughout the season. Each event consists of 9 matches: 2 mixed doubles, 2 men’s singles, 2 ladies singles, 2 men’s doubles, and 1 ladies doubles. The top four teams will then qualify for a final four tournament.{{Cite web |last=Speak |first=Badminton |date=2022-11-10 |title=Team event competition for clubs in Denmark - how it works |url=https://www.badmintonspeak.com/bwf-world-tour/badminton-tournaments/team-event-competition-for-clubs-in-denmark-how-it-works/ |access-date=2025-05-13 |website=Badmintonspeak |language=en-GB}}
