All five majors and the PBA Super Slam Cup will air live on FOX Broadcast Channel

Richmond, VA — Major championships are the focus of the 2023 Guaranteed Rate PBA Tour on FOX season. For the first time in PBA Tour history, all five majors will air live on network television, beginning with the U.S. Open on FOX Broadcast Channel in February. The PBA Tournament of Champions, PBA World Championship, USBC Masters and PBA Players Championship will also air live on FOX throughout the season.

All 2023 major champions will be entered into the PBA Super Slam Cup, which will air live on FOX in May. Plus, all majors and the Super Slam Cup will feature additional live televised coverage of match play rounds prior to the championship finals.

Jason Belmonte, a six-time PBA Player of the Year and candidate for a record-tying seventh award in 2022, holds the all-time record with 14 major championships and is one of just two players, along with Mike Aulby, to complete the Super Slam of all five majors in his career. Belmonte will have the opportunity at the U.S. Open to become the first player ever to complete the Super Slam twice.

In addition to the majors, the PBA on FOX schedule will feature World Series of Bowling XIV, including three animal-pattern events (Cheetah, Scorpion and Shark) and the return of USA vs. The World in addition to the PBA World Championship, the third major of the season.

Special events airing in 2023 include the Go Bowling! PBA Celebrity Event, PBA Jr. National Championship, PBA Collegiate National Championship, and the PBA League Bowler Certification National Championships Clash.

The PBA Elite League will compete in late September at Bayside Bowl in Portland, Maine in which eight hours of live coverage on FS1 will showcase the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals of the Elias Cup playoffs.

The full PBA Tour season will also feature eight additional title events in eight different markets, which will be streamed or broadcast.

The PBA welcomes back Guaranteed Rate, one of the top five retail mortgage lenders in the United States, and Pabst Blue Ribbon, an American lager beer sold by Pabst Brewing Company as returning partners of the PBA Tour, as well as welcoming a returning partner in Go Bowling!
