Network, Cable and Streaming in PBA Deal With CBS

CBS Sports will air 35 hours of PBA Tour coverage in 2026, including six events on CBS Sports Network and two events on CBS that also will be streamed on Paramount+.

The two main network and streaming events are USA vs. The World from Columbus, Ohio, on April 4, and the PBA World Championship from Allen Park, Michigan, on June 13.

Over four consecutive days in May, CBS Sports Network will air the finals of PBA World Series of Bowling XVII animal pattern events from Minneapolis. While the specific animal lane patterns were not revealed, the air dates will be May 9-12.

Then on back-to-back days in June, CBSSN will air two events from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania — the PBA Elite League: Battle of the Brands event on 20th, and the finals of the Norm Duke Open on the 21st.

“The PBA and CBS Sports have enjoyed a storied history, and we’re excited to take the partnership to unprecedented levels in 2026,” said PBA Tour Commissioner Tom Clark. “Eight different PBA events, all live with extended coverage, including two CBS broadcasts, is incredible news for our fans.”
