Major League Fishing’s 2026 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals schedule will feature six regular-season events and a championship faceoff in Kissimmee, Florida, in September.
The first six events will feature high stakes, with a top prize of up to $115,000. The Tackle Warehouse Invitationals Championship will see anglers compete for a top prize of $135,000 and a berth to Redcrest 2027.
The regular season kicks off at Florida’s Harris Chain of Lakes in Leesburg on February 6–8, before traveling to Clarendon County, South Carolina, from February 26–28. Decatur, Alabama, will see action March 19–21, before the circuit moves to Jefferson County, Tennessee, on May 8–10. The final regular season events will take place in Eufaula, Oklahoma, on June 5–7 and Plattsburgh, New York, from June 24–26.
“No other circuit prepares professional anglers for the next step in their career like the Invitationals,” said Kathy Fennel, Major League Fishing executive vice president and general manager. “That makes the Invitationals popular among veteran and up-and-coming pros alike.”
A third of the field which competes in all six qualifying events will also advance to the 2026 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals Championship, September 18–20, 2026, in Kissimmee, Florida.
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.
