The 2026 PBA Tour season is about to get underway.
PBA Players Championship, starting February 16 at Bowlero Euless and the ITRC in Arlington, Texas, will mark the beginning od the new season, where the first major title will be decided.
Later in April, the PBA Tour heads to Columbus Square Bowling Palace in Ohio for the return of the PBA USA vs. The World. The premier international team competition will see two squads selected by captains EJ Tackett and Jason Belmonte. That event is scheduled to be televised on April 4 from Columbus, Ohio, airing on CBS and Paramount+ as part of the PBA schedule.
But before that, both capitains will stand against each other in a one-game match that will determine lane choice and lineup selection order for the upcoming USA vs. The World event.
The PBA USA vs. the World Captains Match will take place on Sunday, February 15, at the International Bowling Museum. The special exhibition match will be held on the museum’s vintage lanes and streamed on PBA YouTube channel.
According to the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame, all viewership proceeds from the stream will directly support the museum. The funds will help with its ongoing mission to preserve and share the history of bowling.
The PBA USA vs. the World returns after a two-year break. The last time it was held was in 2023, when Team World swept Team USA over two days in Milwaukee. Team World also claimed victory in the 2019 edition of the competition.
