The transfer of PBA Tour broadcasts from FOX to The CW Network does not only affect American audiences, but also international viewers.
Since The CW Network is only available in the United States, it was important to secure a way for fans worldwide to follow the biggest stage in professional bowling.
The Professional Bowlers Association confirmed to BowlingLife’s Erikas Jansonas that global fans will still be able to follow the action through BowlTV, the same livestream service used in past seasons.
“International viewers will be able to watch PBA events on the CW via BowlTV - just as they could watch FOX shows in past years,” the PBA stated.
The 2026 regular season begins on February 22 with the PBA Players Championship in Arlington, Texas. The CW Network will broadcast ten events in ten straight Sundays, all live at 4 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, the World Series of Bowling will be livestreamed on CBS.
