Expanded Schedule Includes Innovative Formats and New Tentpole Events, Including Opening Weekend, All-Star Game, and First-Ever PBA Playoffs/Road to the PBA World Championship

MIAMI -- Lucky Strike Entertainment and The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA), the world's premier professional bowling league, today unveiled its official 2027 PBA Tour broadcast schedule, introducing the most significant tournament restructuring and reimagined broadcast presentation in PBA history. The best players in the world from over 30 countries will compete February through June in five PBA major tournaments and title events on the biggest stage in the sport across The CW Network, ESPN, CBS, Paramount+, CBS Sports Network, and BowlTV.

The season opens February 21 with PBA Opening Weekend in Los Angeles and the start of Championship Sundays, 12 consecutive weeks of PBA Tour finals broadcast live from 4 to 6 PM ET (except on April 11, which will air from 1-3 PM ET), including the new PBA All-Star Game hosted in New York City on The CW Network. Every CW telecast will also stream live via CW Sports on The ESPN App for fans to watch on any device.

Starting April 21, fans can also watch the PBA Tour on CBS and Paramount+, featuring the return of the PBA global rivalry with Team USA vs. The World. In June, the Road to the PBA World Championship begins with the launch of the first-ever PBA Playoffs, a 33-player, win-and-advance bracket on CBS Sports Network. It all culminates with the PBA World Championship, live on CBS and streaming on Paramount+, where the best players in the world compete for the most prestigious title in bowling.

"I am excited about PBA's year-over-year audience growth and the reimagined PBA Tour for 2027, including a completely new presentation and the best bowlers on the planet competing in an array of innovative formats that represent a new era for the sport," said Peter Murray, PBA CEO. "The 2027 PBA Tour will be a season with a clear beginning, middle, and end, where every event matters and every week builds toward something bigger. Championship Sundays provide appointment viewing, our Majors create milestones throughout the season, and the introduction of the PBA Playoffs gives fans a true postseason before the sport's biggest stage, the PBA World Championship."
