Where to watch Bassmaster Classic 2026: Full TV schedule, channel, live stream for pro fishing event

The "Super Bowl of Bass Fishing" is back. The 2026 Bassmaster Classic is taking over Knoxville this weekend.

The annual event serves as the pinnacle of the professional bass fishing season. The Bassmaster Classic brings together the top 50 anglers in the nation to compete over three days, weighing in their five heaviest fish each day. 

Last year was a historic win for 22-year-old elite series rookie Easton Fothergill, who triumphed with a record-setting 76 pounds and 15 ounces total. Not only did Fothergill take home the $300,000 prize, but he also became the second-youngest champion in the history of the tournament.
