2024 PBA Tour season

The 2024 PBA Tour season, the 65th season of play for the U.S. Professional Bowlers Association's ten-pin bowling tour, began on January 9 with the pre-tournament qualifier (PTQ) of the PBA Players Championship. The season currently includes 16 singles title events, two doubles title events, and a non-title team event.

On November 1, 2023, the PBA and Fox announced that the 2024 season will have over 60 hours of live coverage on Fox and FS1 networks. Multiple standard title events move to FS1 from previous streaming-only broadcasts, and Fox terrestrial stations will have eight broadcasts, the most since Fox acquired PBA broadcast rights in 2019.

Season overview
As in 2023, the final rounds of all five major events were broadcast live on over-the-air network television (Fox network). This included the finals of the PBA Players Championship on January 15, the U.S. Open on February 4, the USBC Masters on March 31, the PBA World Championship on April 21 (part of the five-event PBA World Series of Bowling XV in Allen Park, Michigan), and the PBA Tournament of Champions on April 28. All five majors paid out a $100,000 top prize. Also scheduled for the Fox network was a PBA All-Star event with Fox NASCAR at the Shriners Children's 500 in Avondale, Arizona.

From February 5 to March 3, there were four “classic series” events which each awarded a standard title. The final round of these events were be broadcast on FS1. The 2024 season also saw the return of the PBA Playoffs, which was last hosted in 2022.

The PBA League Elias Cup team competition returns with a revised format, and the new moniker "PBA Elite League". While the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals broadcasts on FS1 remain in September, as in 2023, there were be season-long qualifying events at the first 14 PBA Tour stops. The league was reduced to eight teams of six players (from ten teams of five players previously), and head-to-head Baker matches throughout the season further reduced the field to six teams prior to the September 15 quarterfinals.

On July 31-August 2, the PBA will host its first-ever mixed trios event in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The event will feature trio teams pairing PBA, PBA50 and PWBA players.
