BENTON, Ky. – Major League Fishing announced today the 2026 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals schedule, which features six high-stakes regular-season events with a top award of up to $115,000 each and the no-entry-fee Tackle Warehouse Invitationals Championship, where anglers compete for a top prize of $135,000 and a coveted berth to REDCREST 2027.
The 2026 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals will once again spotlight professional anglers battling across six stops for a share of some of the sport’s best payouts and qualification into the prestigious Bass Pro Tour, where every stage features a top award of $150,000. The Bass Pro Tour’s live catch, weigh and immediate-release scoring that has produced some of the sport’s most memorable moments, including Tackle Warehouse Invitationals alum Jake Lawrence’s buzzer beater win over Jacob Wheeler at Stage 4 on Nickajack Lake this season.
“No other circuit prepares professional anglers for the next step in their career like the Invitationals,” said Kathy Fennel, MLF Executive Vice President and General Manager. “That makes the Invitationals popular among veteran and up-and-coming pros alike, and this season fans responded to our format, which restricts the use of forward facing and 360-degree sonar to half the qualifying days, with record MLFNOW! viewership at every stop. We’re looking forward to carrying that momentum into the 2026 season as we visit some outstanding fisheries.”
The regular season kicks off in early February at Florida’s Harris Chain of Lakes before traveling to South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma and New York. The top angler in the season-long point standings will be crowned the Fishing Clash Angler of the Year and receive a $50,000 bonus, and the top five anglers in points will secure invitations to compete on the 2027 Bass Pro Tour. A third of the field fishing all six qualifying events will also advance to the 2026 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals Championship, Sept. 18-20, 2026, on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes in Kissimmee, Florida.
Every day of competition will stream live on MLFNOW! at MajorLeagueFishing.com and through the MLF app, MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) and Rumble. All six Invitationals and the championship will also be televised nationally.
Invitations for the 2026 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals will be issued to qualifying anglers this fall.
