PBA Announces 2025 Tour Schedule Programming

The 2025 PBA Tour schedule will include 14 events and five major championships as well as the PBA Elite League: Battle of the Brands, a competition between bowling ball manufacturers and their sponsored athletes.

The Professional Bowlers Association announced most of its 2025 schedule this week, which includes eight broadcasts on Fox and more than 60 hours televised overall. The remainder of the schedule will be released at a later date.

“We’re elevating the PBA experience for both the players and the fans on the 2025 tour,” said Lev Ekster, president of Bowlero Corp. “The new PBA Elite League format is an exciting update for this season, combining individual excellence and strong team dynamics. It also allows fans to connect with our partner brands while watching their favorite players compete.”

All five major championships will be on Fox — the U.S. Open, PBA World Championship, USBC Masters, PBA Players Championship and PBA Tournament of Champions. Four major championships will include a televised preliminary round on FS1.

Additional highlights of the 2025 season include the World Series of Bowing XVI, featuring four standard titles plus a major championship, at Reno’s National Bowling Stadium.

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with the PBA and showcase the sport to an even wider audience across FOX and FS1,” said Bill Wanger, executive vice president of programming at FOX Sports. “This season’s structure offers a great balance of individual and team competition and will foster deeper engagement among fans, while bringing in new audiences.”

Additionally, Wisconsin in April will host the second annual PBA Tour All-Star Weekend. The regular season concludes with the PBA Tournament of Champions on April 20, with the top 12 players advancing to the PBA Playoffs. Six shows of head-to-head, single-elimination competition culminates with the PBA Playoffs Championship in May.
