The 2019 PBA Tour season is shaping up to be the most consequential in years as the tour is undergoing a resurgence not seen in many years.

Just five years ago in 2014 the PBA Tour visited only five cities, while this year fans will be able to see players in 24 cities. With prize money on the rise and new broadcast deals in place, things are shaping up for an epic 2019 PBA Tour season.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the 2019 PBA Tour season:

When the season starts and ends

The 2019 campaign officially begins Jan. 2 in Arlington, Texas, with the PBA Hall of Fame Classic at the home of Team USA, the International Training and Research Center.

It’s a shorter-duration event but it will help usher fans into the new season while also inducting four new members into the PBA Hall of Fame.

The final PBA Tour title of the season is currently scheduled to be awarded at the recently announced PBA China Tiger Cup, which marks the PBA’s first event in China.
