PROFESSIONAL BOWLERS ASSOCIATION TO GO "BOWLING ACROSS AMERICA" WITH 2024 PBA ON FOX SCHEDULE

PROFESSIONAL BOWLERS ASSOCIATION

Return of the PBA Playoffs, PBA Elite League season expansion, and the first-ever All-Star Weekend highlight the 2024 PBA on FOX schedule

Richmond, VA — The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) and FOX Sports are pleased to announce the schedule for the highly anticipated 2024 PBA on FOX season, which features over 60 hours of televised competition and a single-season record of eight FOX broadcasts.

In 2024, the PBA Tour will bowl across America to celebrate one of America’s favorite pastimes and highlight the vibrant bowling communities at each stop. More than 10 states, primarily in the Midwest and ranging nearly coast-to-coast from Nevada to Maine, will host PBA Tour events next season.

Furthermore, the PBA will work alongside Bowlers to Veterans Link (BVL), the official charity of the PBA, to honor military veterans nationwide.

On the lanes, five major championships and the 15th PBA World Series of Bowling (WSOB) highlight the regular-season schedule, as more than $4 million in total prize money will be awarded in 2024, the PBA’s 66th consecutive season. All roads lead to the PBA Playoffs, where the top 16 players in competition points following April’s PBA Tournament of Champions will advance into the televised head-to-head postseason tournament.

The PBA will also be expanding the PBA League season — now the PBA Elite League — bringing a new and innovative season-long team structure to professional bowling. The PBA Elite League season expansion aims to further engage bowling fans by introducing League events during the Tour season, which will count as seeding for the PBA Elite League Elias Cup Playoffs.

This original approach sets the stage to build rivalries and allow teams to establish their standing, determining their seeding for the postseason at Bayside Bowl in Portland, Maine.

"We are thrilled to announce the expansion of the PBA Elite League season and the introduction of our League Playoff structure," said Tom Clark, commissioner of the PBA. "By incorporating League events during the Tour season, we are intensifying the competition and introducing a new level of fan involvement to grow interest in the sport.”

The season begins in January with the PBA Players Championship at Bowlero Northrock in Wichita, Kan., followed by the U.S. Open and four PBA Classic tournaments, with televised stepladder finals, in February.

In March, PBA will celebrate its first-ever All-Star Weekend, bringing PBA stars together with legends, rookies and celebrities in a series of exhibitions during the midseason festivities.

The second half of the 2024 calendar includes three major championships — the USBC MastersPBA World Championship, and Tournament of Champions — leading up to the PBA Playoffs.
