BowlTV serves as home of pro bowling in 2023, introduces new mobile app

ARLINGTON, Texas – For the first time, bowling’s premier professional organizations in the United States will be available for fans around the world to watch through a single livestreaming service – BowlTV.

BowlTV.com is the multi-channel livestreaming platform of the United States Bowling Congress and will be the exclusive home of the Professional Bowlers Association and Professional Women’s Bowling Association in 2023.

A partnership between USBC and PBA is bringing the PBA’s full lineup to BowlTV for 2023, which includes coverage of the national tour, PBA50, PBA Jr. and regional competition.

The 2023 PWBA Tour schedule recently was announced, and BowlTV will be providing coverage for all 12 national tour stops and nine regional events.

All qualifying and match-play rounds leading up to any televised rounds will be featured on the livestream service. Visit PBA.com and PWBA.com to learn more about each organization’s television schedule for 2023.

With the additional tour events added to the schedule, BowlTV also will feature a new pricing structure starting Dec. 5. A recurring annual subscription will be $119.95, but there’s an opportunity to save before the calendar flips to 2023.

From now until Dec. 31, 2022, bowling fans can get a recurring annual subscription to BowlTV for $99.95. After the first of the year, the price will automatically renew at $119.95.

Current BowlTV annual subscribers will be charged $99.95 at their next renewal date and annually renew at the same rate with an active subscription.

A monthly recurring subscription now will be $12.95, with the rate changing on Jan. 1, 2023, for current monthly subscribers. Event tickets still will be available for those who want to watch select live events. Transaction fees will apply at all price points.

In addition to the full range of professional events, USBC’s short-duration events and top-tier youth, collegiate and senior competitions will be featured on the platform. BowlTV also will continue to work with organizations like The National Bowling Association (TNBA) and Underground Bowling Association (UBA) to showcase their regional and national tournaments.

Along with a schedule featuring more than 100 events from across the country in 2023, bowling fans will be able to enjoy BowlTV “On the Go” through a new mobile app.

The mobile app now is available for download on Google Play and the App Store.

Subscribers will enjoy the ease of just one click to watch their favorite bowlers and tournaments during the year while still enjoying the interactive features that have helped BowlTV continue to grow since its introduction as a subscription-based product in 2019, like the community chat, polls and giveaways.

The enhanced app experience will allow for casting to multiple platforms, a new video search function, notifications for live events and easy access to on-demand and archived tournament videos.

“Bowling fans have wanted to bring all of their favorite tours and events to one livestreaming platform, and we’re excited for our partnership with the PBA to make this happen in 2023,” USBC President Melissa McDaniel said. “Integrating a mobile app was the next stage for the continued development and growth of BowlTV. Being able to combine this new schedule with a new way to enjoy BowlTV is going to make for a great year for the subscribers.”
