2026 PBA World Series of Bowling XVI TV Schedule, Date Times, Channels, How to Watch, Format, Prize Fund.
The world’s premier bowling event is set to begin its 17th edition with the PBA World Series of Bowling XVI.
The PBA WSOB XVII will take place April 29 through May 12 in the greater Minneapolis area. The landmark event includes five PBA Tour title events and — for the first time in history — a concurrent PBA50 World Series of Bowling.
More than 200 players from 19 countries around the globe will be competing for four standard titles and one major championship.
The first time the WSOB was held at Reno’s National Bowling Stadium was in 2015. Then, EJ Tackett was a one-time PBA Tour champion and former Rookie of the Year.
Captains EJ Tackett and Jason Belmonte, who were ranked as the top two players of the past 25 PBA Tour seasons, will build their respective teams from a selection of top American and international talents.
Belmonte’s international squad dominated the Americans in the most recent USA vs. The World match, which was held in 2023. The Australian and 15-time major champion will look to replicate his winning formula at Columbus Square Bowling Palace in Columbus, Ohio.
Tackett has taken control of his rivalry with Belmonte, winning all three PBA Player of the Year honors since USA’s defeat in 2023. With his elevation to USA captain, Tackett hopes to leave a stronger thumbprint on the team and propel the Americans to victory.
