Fans will have additional opportunities to catch Bassmaster Classic action online and on TV this year.
Before anglers take to the Tennessee River for competition on Friday, the Classic LIVE Preview show on Wednesday will feature predictions, conditions and hits from the lake.
Bassmaster LIVE kicks off tournament coverage Friday morning at 8 a.m. ET on Bassmaster.com, Tubi and the FOX Sports digital platforms. FS1 will broadcast live with the tournament leaders on Saturday and Sunday mornings before afternoon action from the final day picks up on FOX.
“When every catch can mean the difference between bringing home the sport’s biggest prize or falling down the leaderboard, Championship Sunday at the Bassmaster Classic can be full of emotional and heartbreaking moments,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Chase Anderson. “We’re so excited to bring Bassmaster LIVE to the largest possible audience by broadcasting on FOX in the hours leading up to the final weigh-in. Our FOX Sports partnership has allowed us to reach new fans over the past two seasons. And whether they are already a fishing fan or not, the passion and drama of the Classic are sure to hook viewers.”
Later Sunday night, a special Super Six highlight show will recap the Classic’s winning moments.
While the Bassmaster LIVE team covers the leaders on FOX and FS1, viewers can also join journalist Steve Bowman, a stable of Elite Series anglers and fishing legends – including Rick Clunn, Bill Dance, Larry Nixon and Hank Parker – for LIVE Mix streaming on Bassmaster.com.
Daily weigh-in festivities can be streamed on Bassmaster.com beginning at 3:30 p.m.
