Complete 2026 PWBA Regional schedule released
September 09, 2025
ARLINGTON, Texas – Aspiring female bowlers eager to test their skills in professional competition can now mark their calendars as the 2026 Professional Women’s Bowling Association Regional Tour schedule has been released.
The 10-event regional season kicks off with the Orlando Regional, which will take place at Boardwalk Lanes in Orlando, Florida, on Feb. 22, and conclude with the Regional Showdown at Airport Lanes in Sanford, Florida, from Dec. 10-12.
The 2026 season will also head to Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Kansas, Minnesota, New York, Oklahoma and Ohio, visiting a number of centers that have previously hosted PWBA competition as well as three first-time hosts for regional events.
Returning host centers on the 2026 schedule include Boardwalk Bowl, Steel City Bowl & Brews, East Providence Lanes, Cedarvale Lanes, Kingpin’s Alley Family Fun Center, Sooner Bowl and Airport Lanes. Let’s Roll Seneca, Rebman Recreation and AMF Mt. Lebanon Lanes will welcome the PWBA for the first time.
Each regional champion will be automatically seeded into match play at the Regional Showdown, while the remainder of the 18-person field will be filled after an eight-game qualifying round that will be open to all PWBA Regional-eligible bowlers.
Those 18 players will compete in round-robin match play before cutting to the top four bowlers for the stepladder finals.
All bowlers who qualify for match play will cash at the Regional Showdown, with additional cash spots outside the top 18 paid at a 1:3 ratio if the number of entries is high enough, similar to PWBA National Tour prize funds.
The winner of the 2026 Regional Showdown will receive not only a cash prize and trophy, but she will also have her entry fees covered for all 2027 PWBA National Tour singles events.
Female competitors must average at least 180 to be eligible to enter a PWBA Regional event while PWBA Tour national champions will not be eligible to compete in any PWBA Regional event if they have won a national title in the last 15 years.
These one-day tournaments feature eight games of qualifying followed by a cut to the top four for the stepladder finals. This format, combined with the reduced entry fees, allows players to keep costs down by making it possible to compete without having to stay in the host city for multiple days and incur lodging expenses.
